Cost of travel to work - which car to use?

[JNugent]

Our system (because for temporary reasons, we have to park the cars in a vertical line out to road) is to use whichever of them is the nearest to the exit.

Ah...

[Richard]

Oooohh. You really should've remembered the 'safe' word.

[Richard]

WTF?! That's bloody awkward. Can't you park perpendicularly?

[JNugent]

:-)

[Robin]

/that/ explains your question. (I had just wondered if someone had spiked your drink with some weird shit.)

IMHO Lou can reasonably argue it's just a fair charge for the use of her drive, innit. And she's keeping your battery in good nick.

And the argument before we got to A&E because I made her stop off at the cafe so I could have a full English.

[williamwright]

Well wait til she wakes up you dirty bugger.

You've got a good memory.

Note to self: Do not argue with a dominatrix whilst up a ladder before breakfast.

[JNugent]

You are over-thinking this.

[JNugent]

<sigh>

Have you READ the thread?

[Steve Walker]

I have found that for my and my wife's cars, adding business use to both made almost no difference to the premiums, while adding it to my kit car, for the occasional sunny day commute, cost nothing at all.

FFS, you?re arguing with a troll. What?s your excuse for such idiocy?

[JNugent]

Point taken.

[Vir Campestris]

It will depend on how much you use them.

There are fixed service costs every 12 months/12000 miles, or something like that.

If you can get the two to match you'll be minimising those costs.

Don't forget the cost of tyres, and most of all depreciation.

Given that they don't buy new and he only drives the work van into walls, they have in fact appreciated.

Last used mine on 16th April.

No idea when I will next use it.

Probably worth about £2K. Might as well run it into the ground. It's not done bad for repairs. It was only £60 for two new back springs.
