£20 a month, what do you reckon?

[Nick W]

Bargain.


Go for it.

[BazaJT]

Depends really on why you want it and how much use you'll make of it.Other than that a bargain.How will you prevent unauthorised use?

[STEMO]

We live in an end terrace on a busy road. There is enough space on the side road adjacent to our house, but every bastid in the area considers it fair game. When wifey rings to say she is on her way home, I have to check if there's a space for her. If not, I have to shift my car on to the main drag and give her my space.
I've just got an insurance quote for a fifteen year old fiesta, £160, tax is about £80, so £240 all in or £20 a month. I would park it on the side street and move it when she came home, solving the parking problem and royally pissing off a few people. (The second bit is the part I like best ).

What do you reckon?

[BazaJT]

Parking gets like that on the road where I live,with people who don't actually live on this road using it for overnight parking etc.I've got the Elite parked across the road from my bungalow[there's no parking on my side of the road]and I have to park the V70 about quarter mile away and my step-granddaughters place!Next question would be Where will you park the Fiesta once moved to allow swmbo to park up?

On the main drag, if someone takes the mirror of it, I won't care.
That will be the furthest it travels.

[BazaJT]

In that case sounds very reasonable to me-especially the bit about peeing people off

Oh yes, my favourite part of it.

I used to live on a terraced street in Bristol where parking was a nightmare.  One of the neighbours used to put his wheelie bin on the street outside his house and I used to regularly move it and park there.

£20  per  month is cheap..down here...south.....people let out their driveways for £20 per week,,and you are permited to use it from around 9am but must be removed by 5pm....

[Bigron]

I once paid £10 for the use of a driveway in Mile End, East London, for just one day, 9 to 5, and that is considered cheap!

Oh come on ! We all know you live in a gated mansion with  long gravel drive, with a full time driver that keeps your cars near the servants entrance. 

£20 a month is cheap, even down here in the land of sheep and rain 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

It should be a requirement of law that every new house has off-street parking for at least two cars.

Doubt if that is possible in central London. It always amazes me that people in London can own a multi-million pound property and yet still have to park their  car(s) on the road.

[Kevin Wood]

It amazes me that people in central London bother with cars.
