Two hours to get home tonight in the car... picking MrsF up,2.3 miles away took 40 minutes, then getting to son 9 miles away was another 40 minutes, then getting home another 9 miles took another 40. Can't keep this up long (sons car is broken - his fault). I need to be cycling to work for 60 minutes each way when in (i'm only working 2 days a week in the office) but using the car 4 days to get son to work, and MrsF is running him too. Even WFH, I'm dropping him at work, 40 miles a day - lots of stuff with son going on - i.e. can't get up.... so we've got to ensure we get him working to avoid paying his bills. It's not Ideal, but he has MH issues.
We're considering a cheap banger for us to let him use then sell it on later - he's ruined a 15 Plate Fabia by 'modding it'. It's dead again.
The 'banger' will be owned by us and he can be insured to drive, and daughter can learn in it. Probably sell it on for the same amount in 6 months. Looking at Micras and Yaris as we've owned them before - less kit, the easier. We are loking at something with not too mch kit and tidy bodywork - look after it, we can sell on for no loss.
Only looking at £1500 or less, but if it saves our sanity with extra commutes..
of course.
