[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2072946, member: 487111"] My 18-year-old car died nearly 7 years ago, 3 days before I was due to move here from BirmingHAM. I have been without a car ever since, for the first time since I was 16, and I hate it. But the traffic here is notoriously bad, and I don't enjoy getting out and traveling by car, and I am glad I'm not the one having to deal with the traffic. What I miss is the independence, the freedom to go where I want to go when I want to, without the stress of having to be ready to go on someone else's schedule, or the stress of being ready to walk out the door and then having to wait on someone else -- it's not that I mind the waiting mentally but I don't deal well with it physically. On the other hand, I know I could not afford to keep up a car now -- oil changes, tires, etc. -- and the new ones don't seem like they'd be fun to drive, they're more like computers on wheels than mechanical magic carpets. I like to shift gears, not press buttons. But if I [I]could[/I] move to Blandford Forum, I would certainly like to hire a car at Gatwick and ask you to meet me there and drive me to Blandford!
