My solution was simple - no car, instead the nicest bike i could get (www.windheetah.co.uk) you should see the drivers faces as i cycle straight UNDER the barrier (you'll _have_ to check the link now... ;-) while they're stuck there in the queue waiting to pony up their quid. It's great - no fuel, no tax, no congestion charges, no MOT, no insurance it doesn't take long to recoup the cost of the bike. Add to that the fact that it is unique, fun, comfortable and good for you - even my dad likes it 'cos girls wave at him !
