Can we please not have this discussion on this thread - whether or not I need a car is something else entirely and obviously something that I am thinking about (which you'd realise if you read through the thread). You yourself quoted me and I clearly didn't say anything about "needing" a car. I'm well aware we could get by without one. However, it would definitely, as I said, make life easier - especially in the short term whilst the baby can't go on the bike. Also, I do wish people would stop telling me how much it costs to run a car - I'm not a complete moron blindly thinking of buying one with some kind of idea that it's going to be free - I have had cars before and the expense (along with some other reasons) is why I got rid when they were no longer necessary. I do already own an oyster card. By the way, we also own a bicycle trailer. Thank you.

6k sounds very highside. 3k I could believe.
Roryer, you really are going to have to get help over this pathlogical hatred of cars- you are as bad on that extreme as Cobbles is on the other!
Nowhere near.
£400 insurance, £400 servicing and MoT, £100 tyres recently, £90 parking permit. Then fuel at around 30mpg, give or take.....

Taking fuel at a fiver a gallon (it's actually slightly less), that's 2 grand for 6,000 miles, 3 grand for 12,000.
Those are believable numbers.
EDIT: shall we take this to another thread, for GG's sake?

My secret park entrance got blocked up the other day and I swear it's your fault...

I inherited a Citroen Zsara Picasso and it's quite a handy car, the rear seats are all individual so getting kiddie seats in is simple, and you can remove the ones you don't need for additional space - it essentially turns into a van.
A bit shite to drive and the design is not the greatest, but practical. MPG on motorways not the greatest as it's quite a large frontal area, hence we have a small hatchback for longer journeys.

I doubt anyone's car costs them 6k a year to run unless they're trying to run something ludicrously quick as a daily driver with nowhere secure to keep it.
But then, roryer's obsessive hatred of anything on four wheels will lead him to come out with any old nonsense.
It's entirely in character that he hadn't so much as bothered to read the thread before jumping in with both feet too.
