Car car no car...

| | Comments (4)

I've been lucky enough over the past year and a half, to have had the privilege of looking after Ashley the Astra, a car loaned to me by friends Dave and Thea Green.

They're coming back from Thailand soon, and so I'll be returning Ashley to her rightful owners in May. I'd been thinking about what my future transport situation would be the other day, when I went through the following rather amusing situation.

First I was told that there may well be an opportunity for me to use a friend's beat up old Metro for a while. While I was investigating that option, I was offered an old Cavalier from the end of March, fully MOT'd and ready to go. Of course I said yes! A few hours later, that offer had to be withdrawn due to an earlier miscommunication with another person. Then the metro option fell through as well.

All within 24 hours. Car, car, no car ;-)

Maybe I'll be using the old shoe leather more after all!

i'm quite enjoying my carlessness. no sudden expenses, no gridlock, no buying gasoline. it's quite nice, especially since anywhere i go means walking through the park blocks.
