I love cars, and have been lucky enough to own some of the cars i dreamed of as a youngster. However i gave up running a car in London at the beginning of last year - at the time i was running an Audi RS4 and probably doing 20 miles in it a day. The cost of fuel alone was 400+ dorra a month, and i just thought enough was enough. I got rid of it, and now use a service called Streetcar, where you can rent a car/van by the hour, so if i need to haul something around, or do a large shop i can get one as and when needed:

I still have a couple of other cars which i use for fun, and quite a few motorbikes as 2 wheels, whether motorised or not are my first love, but i doubt i will return to using car in London until i have kids and cant do without one.
