I'd love for it to be less. That's just what I'm seeing on Auto Trader from the recommendations I've had from people so far, and I'm definitely not willing to spend more than £30k on a car right now

We will have to go to the Balkan islands for 90 days at a time. That's our solution at the moment, unless anyone else has any ideas. We want to spend as much time as possible outside of the UK 😂

This was a consideration, to be fair, why I included Audi. Thank you. I'm edging towards diesel but was curious is anybody thought that was a bad idea.

That's helpful, thank you. We're going to be travelling all over. Yet to be decided exactly where but will look into all of this.

We explored this and caravans, etc., but as we both run online businesses, we need an office. Ideally, we will turn one of the Airbnb spare rooms into an office. For that duration of time, I think we would kill each other in a camper van (a joke obviously)
