Good luck with your move, and I hope you find happiness ahead.

The up-side of a small place is that it's a lot easier to take care of, and should be cheaper on bills.

If you do get a nice sporty car (Mine is a TVR), you can probably rent a garage for not too much.

A 'classic' type of car will be really cheap to insure too.
Mine is group 20 and only costs me £160 a year (5,000 miles) fully comp on classic car policy, and that's a convertible car that will top 150 and get to 60 in about 5 secs.
