Yeah Drew, my decision to give up the car coincided with moving back to Edinburgh and being divorced. I sat there and asked myself how a single woman who only uses the car for herself, in a city with good public transport and cheap grocery deliveries could justify having one. I couldn't. The only thing in my column of reasons to keep one was "but it's a bright red 1967 alpha romeo spider". Pretty car, lovely to drive, especially with the top down. No way to justify keeping it....

Sniff. (Loved that car).

If I ever move to my dream location somewhere in the heart of perthshire I will probably have to have a rethink.
