Great video, nice to see the woman who is such a whiz with the Prius. I wonder if any of them are on here, and, if not, if we could get in touch with them. It would be interesting to know how they hacked into the Prius.

I would like to get in touch with/hear from these people.

If anyone has info please PM me.

I wonder if they have a website that could be translated, maybe they have some techniques that are unknown over here.

Maybe CNN could help?

Wayne and I got to drive in a Prius Plug-in Prius just about an hour or so ago. Amazing stuff... I'll let Wayne tell you all about it in the NAIAS thread.. but we were both VERY impresed.

That was a cool video...thanks for sharing it..

I take it that was the same girl that was in a post on this site?

Absolutely incredible what they are able to get out of those cars

Yoshiyuki Mimura (Yoshi) is the builder of the Super MID that was shown on the dash of the Prius. I bought one from him early this year for a friend with a 94 GEO.

Here is the Japanese webpage that is his. He was probably one of the nenpi maniacs pictured.

Hi All:

___Tedi-Girl had to be the woman CNN mentioned. Nice to finally put a face to a name and her World Record distance and FE in a Prius-II. Does anyone read the articles? Hint, Home page, 9th article down??? ;)

___Good Luck

Hi Wayne,

Unfortunately, she is not Teddy-Girl. She is called Potpourri@Saitama, over 1600 miles/tank Prius world record holder.
