I would agree with you that this was a great idea, except for one problem.
For the first time in over thirty years of continuous car ownership I am without wheels! I decided that keeping a 4 x 4 out on the road for days on end was no longer cost effective. Plus my old BMW X3 was a very deep black hole that I used to pour money down. Great car and nine years of enjoyable driving but FAR too expensive. We decided to see how we go without and, so far, it's not a problem. I joined the car club Co-Wheels as well and there is always a car parked a hundred yards away from my door. I booked it for a trip up to the Lakes recently and enjoyed the hybrid sensation for the first time. I'd love to buy one (Toyota Yaris) but the cost can't be justified right now.
So I'm stuck with my senior bus pass (easy trip to LBA from here), flights, airport transfer bus and then a taxi from Torrevieja to home. It's a solo trip as my other half is still working and I do feel guilty sending her pictures of the sunset from our roof terrace! But hey, what can you do??
