Which plane? What to do?

Having revalidated my lapsed group A and put my share in the microlight up for sale I am completely undecided as to what to do next.

As there is no hangarage in the NW for PFA types I am feeling compelled to buy into an existing group operating a CAA type. But, is there such a thing as an all weather, PFA type that can be trailered and kept at home? And what of cost? The Europa seems the ideal candidate but at £30K plus the trailer I can't see the justification in that.

I did about 40-50 hours a year in the microlight and would like to achieve the same again in a group A type, which in the Summer time I could occasionally use for work - I have work committments close to Elstree and Prestwick - could a PFA type handle that?

Ah, decisions, decisions.

I remember as a youth having a trail bike, a road bike and a racer - shame I can't win the lottery.
