isn't freecycle wonderful?

A couple of Sundays ago I was lucky enough to be given, yes given, a car.  Not a brand new car of course, but nevertheless a fully functional, drivable, three door, Red, VW Polo.  I got it from a fantastic service called Freecycle.  If you navigate to www.freecycle.org you'll be able to find a local freecycle group or groups and register yourself.  From there you will get emails [or not, your choice] as and when things are offered, or 'Freecycled' to be more precise.
Instead of things being thrown away, left in lay-bys, tossed into gardens, left to rot in garages or worse, sent to landfill, things are very kindly donated via this web based market place, usually a Yahoo group.

So, as my old car blew up over a month ago and I live in the middle of nowhere, a free car was most agreeable.  It managed to drag through it's MOT earlier this week for under £200, which in my mind is a result.

So, start freecycling.  It's good for the soul, the community, the planet and it seems, ones pocket.
