Default Hello from Swifty

I've been driving Honda cars for more than 26 years (I part exchanged my Ford Escort Turbo for a Honda Accord before I married in 1987).

I've owned two Accords, two Legends, ending up with the most recent Legend and a Jazz Hybrid (I got fed up of owning three vehicles, all of which averaged 22mpg - the other one is a 3.5 tonne Mercedes Motorhome).

Having worked in IT for 40 years (36 with IBM) I'm an enthusiastic Forum/Newsgroup user.
I start off being mostly ignorant, but after I've asked a few hundred questions I start to get reasonably knowledgeable.

I like being labelled "Junior" when I join a new group. I'm never going to be called that in real life (Age: 63)

I just love the Jazz. I managed over 140mpg on a two mile journey yesterday. It wasn't so good on the way back up the hill where I live...
It fits in the niche bewteen the Legend and my Electric Bicycle.

I've owned the Jazz for 10 days. It's nearly three years old, but has done less than 5,000 miles. I got it for a little over half the showroom price of a new one; not bad for a car which is almost unused.
