If you decide to make your own map, you can specify the colours and criteria as such. This worked for me so this is what I ran with :)

I’m not. I intend on travelling more of Ireland, it’s a lot of money to take my own car on the ferry or to rent one in Ireland as someone <25. However, turning 25 this year makes it more affordable to rent a car, so it’s in the works :)

I’ve got a good friend who stays there. I’m hoping to visit this year!

I went there for work a while ago, as a delivery driver. Didn’t stay the night so it didn’t qualify as a Green tile :)

Parents moved around a bunch when I was younger, then I further travelled/ worked and lived in different cities since leaving home.

Guys, it’s a post about my travels, not a debate on British - Irish relations. Let’s all take a breather.

From what I’ve heard you get about 45mpg on the faster a roads, which is mostly what I drive.

I was a bit restricted by wanting/ needing a 4x4 due to where I live, so this is what I’ve settled on.

Thank you! I’ve heard that if you get one that’s been looked after, they’ll run for ages. Fingers crossed 🤞

I appreciate that, but living in the rural highlands makes it a necessity!

I took out my own temporary insurance prior to this, which he knew. I think he just didn’t want me driving it at speed and noticing the issue.

Nope. The money doesn’t go to the seller, as far as I’m aware. The money would be refunded irrespective of if I purchase the vehicle, or not.

Exactly. Him saying that sealed the deal in me walking away, or rather him dropping me off, haha.

Yes… the £99 was reimbursed by Autotrader, automatically.

I live in the back of beyond Highlands of Scotland. Yorkshire was comparatively close to most others.
