When you're a fan of the unplanned long,boozy lunch in a nice taverna sheltering from the heat of the day which morphs into an afternoon of drinking and merriment which brings you nicely into a few drinks before dinner mode, car-free is definitely the way to go.
But it depends on where you are and the company you're with I suppose. Mrs Clint Bint is never happy when I announce it's her turn to drive after such a lunch ...
