Ok not realy bushcraft related but i no alot of people opt for eco friendly options were they can.
Iv recently been realy keeping an eye on money more and one of the biggest wasts are cars. I run. a large van which is quite expensive to run but i need it for my company so it kind of earns its keep which is ok, we also need a car for the other half to use but only does about 6000 miles a year localy. Two years ago i brought a big mercedes for some stupid reason,id always wanted one it only does no more than 30 mpg costs 260 to tax insurance keeps going up more than 600 and worst of all its lost 13000 in two years due to running cost rocketing.
We just ordered a new corsa 1.3cdti it does upto 80 mpg tax is 20 per year and insurance is 220 i reckon not even including depreciation il be around 250 better off a month.
i use a mountain bike for nipping localy which also saves money. Its made me realise how much moneu iv wasted on a car i hardly drove. Aparently alot of people are doing the same there was a guy there part exing a rangerover sport for a corsa.
I no some of u will be thinking idiot but atleast im a honest idiot im sure most of us wast money in some way.
Anyway i was wondering if anyone has done similar with a car or anything else due to lack of work maybe or eco reasons or just realised wot a wast some things are.
Cheers
