My mum offered to swap cars with us.
We'd get her Xsara Picasso, she'd get our Ka. This would work well as she recently gouged the sides of the Picasso along a lorry because she's shit at driving big cars, plus we'd have a car we can actually fit a baby seat into.

Then I checked the insurance. It would cost a grand to insure us both because Catface is young and has 6 points for speeding. I am now torn between a comfortable, spacious car that I can never let him drive, or the fucking little noddy car that only costs £300 to insure because it's so small it evades all collisions by fitting through the gap under all other cars.

Still, better than trains.

Stick with the Noddy car
Worth it in the long run. You can always stick the baby seat in the front and Catface in the back.

Yeah, but I'm more worried about how much leg room I'll have.
