Slipstream,we have an Astra Estate car through motability.They paid for us to have a hoist fitted in the back for my hubbies electric wheelchair.It has opened up a whole new world for us as far as getting out and about.

Go for it.

Cheers Jimbo:) I'm perhaps a little more fortunate in that I'm not wheelchair bound. I just have problems with my walking and balance. I walk with quite a bad limp and as a result I now have arthritis in my spine. I may need to start using sticks soon but if that's as bad as it gets then I am one lucky woman:-6

(Sorry!! Don't mean to whinge)

Thanks so much for the encouragement - it does get difficult sometimes as I am sure you are only too well aware but I can't let it beat me!!
