You're right, it's rarely worth taking a
'road trip' these days,
and the better shipping companies offer a good deal.
I take the road trip when its a drive I feel like making.
I went through a phase of buying stuff off eBay that ended on either a
Friday or Saturday, cost about a month's "toy budget" less the cost of
petrol to pick it up (within about 300 miles round-trip) and was
somewhere that had good fun roads ;-)
A nice blat around the countryside, a pub lunch, and a new toy to play
with when I get home. What could be better?
