Personally we have found late summer to now a breeze. SOmetimes the car didn't leave the drive for weeks, but the onset of cold wet weather, ice and early darkness (I kid you not it was getting dark at 2pm today!!)as well as XMAS (:P) means the car has been in use one to two times a week in the last 3 weeks. Still nothing compared to neighbours of ours who regularly have their car(s!) out upto SIX times a day!! We are only human guys and can only do what we can. I think trying to change your lifestyle is best done as slow as possible and if you (and us!) need the safety net of a car over winter then why not! You still didn't use a car for 7 months! Maybe when the snow melts we will all leave the cars to gather dust again, and of course there are always those beautiful sunny winter days to pile the kids in the chariot and peddle out again ;) Aw, thanks for the shout out ;)
