    Shall I just walk the 15 miles to the train station and go somewhere I don't want to go?

    :D

    A moneysavingexpert would have a van or a large estate or even a hatchback.You couldn't get your tools for the allotment into a sports car and barely room for a bag of taters
    And you couldn't collect big stuff from Freecycle.

    I have a van for those exact reasons and a car because the family won't fit in the van (unless its illegally) :p

    You can make love in a van.
    If you did that in a Tesla, you might get an electric shock.

    If you're making love, you wouldn't want to get a short, would you!;)
