    Totally agree with this! Car-sharing is brilliant and like the guys in your photo it has saved me hundreds (literally) of pounds as well as cutting my CO2 footprint massively as I share with 3 others that I found on liftshare.com. Really sociable too – we’ve all become great friends and my car-sharers all came to my wedding!
