    Good point chorlton & Tomstickland, looks like things are changing, with a new job opportunity and if i decide to go for it and will get a company car which no doubt will be a dreary oil burner, buts thats fine for hacking up and down the M1. Which will allow me the funds for a weekend car, to put the smile back on my face.

    I'm a green petrolhead!
    I know it doesn't make sense, but who really cares?

    Not sure if this helps but this website offers free carbon offset on everything you buy online, including car insurance.

    Does that help?

    Could you not get a fast big-engined car but convert it to LPG?

    Or at least do your Institute of Advanced Motorists exam - you really learn how to enjoy driving by pushing your car and driving, but you do learn how to drive economically at the same time, the 2 are not mutually exclusive. And it costs hardly anything to do and can get you an insurance discount, so good MSE logic too!
