Look no car ... pas de voiture

Voilà bientôt deux mois qu'on est 'sans voiture', alors comment ça se passe ?

Pour vrai dire, on a pas été souvent sans voiture pendant ce temps. On en a emprunté à deux reprises, loué à trois reprises, et utilisé Mobility 3 fois également.

Si Mobility revient rélativement bonne marché (même pas 100F pour les trois fois), la location c'est autre choses... Je ne veux même pas savoir combien ça fera au total !

Par contre, c'est assez agréable de ne pas devoir s'inquiéter pour les amendes de parking, ni pour les tempêtes de grêle.

Je suis en train de chercher un Ford Focus Break, 1.6 essence ou 1.8 diesel, avec moins de 100 mille km et moins de 14 mille francs si jamais...

Nearly two months (or is it more?) now that we've had no car, so how's it going?

Well, to be honest, we haven't often been without a car in that time - we've borrowed one twice, hired 3 times, and used Mobility three times.

Mobility is pretty good value for money, not even 100CHF for the three times, but hire cars is another kettle of fish (especially as we hired one for 8 days to go to Brittany - plus petrol costs!)

So I'm not sure that we've saved any money to be honest, but it's quite nice not having to worry about parking tickets, or hail storms!

I'm still on the look-out for a good value second-hand Ford Focus estate.

How about writing less about cars Mr Ben!! Just being a cheeky little sister and wondered if you might like to post more photos of family and talk more about that! Having said that you might like to know that I got a bit bored the other day and painted flower on various parts of my car! That is the value of having an old banger that you are the last owner of!! little miss p xxx
