The bloke I know paid just under £16k for a saloon car when a similar vehicle for half that price would have sufficed in terms of his mobility. It doesn't seem like it was a 'small' upgrade.

And I know I can't see his pain but I can see that he mows the lawn, paints his front door and goes off for walks with a knapsack on his back.

I can think of a few people, able and disabled, who'd swap for his suffering over theirs.
