We have one of those round here, he lives on a road people use to turn round as its at the side of the shops, he scurries out if he hears any loud car, I was in my grandads Metro which had a blowing exhaust, he had finished driving and I was taking it to the in laws to be a field car so no point in sorting the exahust, stopped at the shop for some bits on the way and went down this road, should have known, a car was coming and I thought I was going to have to stop so was in first gear, he flashed me through so I put my foot down and the car made a bit of noise, didnt thrash it, didnt go over 20 mph, just a few revs thinking I was in second, go and turn round at the end and on my way back I see matey boy striding out carrying something, turned out it was one of those huge, ten million candle power torches which he turned on and aimed in my face, I stopped as I couldnt see a thing, he kept it aimed at in my eyes.
So, I jump out of the car, he shat himself and ran in the house and despite a polite knock he didnt seem inclined to answer, I would say blinding drivers with a mega powered torch is worse than a slight rasp from an exhaust.
The old tosser goes in my local, sits there boring everyone s
tless with tales of his awesomeness, I have resolved not to turn into an old like him or the bloke in Sevenoaks.
you would have been well within your right to run the fSo, I jump out of the car, he shat himself and ran in the house and despite a polite knock he didnt seem inclined to answer, I would say blinding drivers with a mega powered torch is worse than a slight rasp from an exhaust.

tless with tales of his awesomeness, I have resolved not to turn into an old like him or the bloke in Sevenoaks.ker over as he blinded you and possibly damaging your eyes forever, you could not see anything so did not know where he was in relation of the road, intact, you possibly could not see the road at all either, so didn't know what to do as it was such a shock, panicked and froze, but being in a car that was moving, the car does not stop moving when you freeze up from a shock and you ran into him, honest m'lord thats what happened
ked me for making a racket then, again, not going fast but he seems to equate any noise with some kind of lawlessness and is a self appointed road captain.I have to say though, I now go past in stealth mode to avoid detection and then wait until I get right in front and give it a bit of a blip and then make good my escape
He wears a white shell suit, white roll neck sweater, a gold chain and some kind of loafers, every conversation I have had with him involves one upmanship, we discussed Sunday Dinner and how I was lookign forward to my Roast Beef, I expressed my love for Horeradish with said meal and he told me how it would be rubbisgh and that he makes his own fresh and my sueprmarket Beef would be dreadful in comparison to that whihc he procures via his local source, I enquired and it turned out it was the same local butcher as I got mine from, he went on to tell me that Pete the Butcher always gets him some in specially, so I did the League of Gentlemen "Special Stuff" thing, ddint get it of course, but amused me.

Always amused me. Surely they should be lobbying their council or whatever to extend the restrictions zone?
They probably do but you know how proactive councils can be, unless they are in the process of adding a new CPZ anyway. My parents lived quite near a university and students would hide their cars slightly further away from the campus thinking it wouldn't bother anyone because it was far enough! So occasionally this random st-heap would be stuck outside your house for days on end. On one occasion (after waiting two weeks) my dad put a trolley jack underneath one to push it away and got the council to tow it! As a rule I try not park in cul-de-sacs unless there is a lot of space near the main junction because it can wind up residents - doesn't justify this sort of behaviour but treat as you would like to be treated etc.There is someone on my parent's road who believes the area in front of their house is reserved for him. It's a quiet country lane with very few drives so the majority of residents park on the road. For some reason the genleman in question had it in his head that my Father was deliberately parking his car outside the house to annoy him (despite my Dad working away from home 3 or 4 nights a week AND having one of the few houses with a drive, where he always parked his car) so one day decided to drive both of his cars up the road and parked them up our drive. This would have been an issue if me, my sister and my Mum were all out in our vehicles at the time leaving only my Dad's car on the drive.
So when we got back to the house we merely boxed his cars in and then buggered off down to the pub for lunch, a few pints and a catch up with a big group of friends. 5 hours later we returned to find a strongly worded letter through the letterbox. We didn't move the cars until we left for work the next morning. Strangely we've never heard from him again. His wife did raise the matter a few months later when we bumped into her, she was very apologetic, apparently the stress of his job was getting to him.

don't really have a noisy car so cannot do 1st gear flybys so will go the quieter route, but possibly more infuriating to the old guy, think of it as tailoring my troll just to him as he does not like people parking there.
park right out side his house, and just sit there in my car, smoking fags, listening to music, and occasionally starting my engine and letting it run for 10-15 mins to charge the battery a bit so it doesn't go flat after listening to music.
might even lay the seat back and go to sleep for a little bit.
if he comes out his house to have a go, i will just stare at him not saying a word, without blinking and wide crazed eyes, then all of a sudden, if he is still having a go, start my engine, pull away and just using tick over revs, go to the end of the road at tick over, turn around and park in the same place outside his house just pointing the other way, and then go to sleep.
that should annoy him a bit more.
I don't really know how to finish this off lol
OP, can you let us know what end and side of the road he lives at because this might not work for me if i get the house wrong.

Photos or it didn't happen, video of the old fart would be better!!
Morning all, I've just been directed to this thread by a search so I've only had a quick scan and haven't really got the gist of it yet. Anyhow, my interest is in Sevenoaks - I'm visiting there next saturday and will have my two German Shepherds with me. Does anyone know of a quiet area I could park up and let them have a run? Cheers

Seems to me that he was only asking if you could park somewhere else, and you played the "I have my rights" card. The whole scenario could have been avoided in 10 seconds if you just said "Sorry it bothers you, I'll find somewhere else" and left it at that. That street looks quite long, so couldn't you have found somewhere along it that wasn't outside his house? I live at the top of a cul-de-sac, and if someone parked outside my house every weekend I think it'd get on my tits a bit.
Then he would have parked in front of someone else's house. That would have been very unfair on them, so that's not possible either. You should only be allowed to park in front of your own house and nowhere else. It would sort this all out.

We had a neighbour in Surrey who was completely OCD about his front lawn on our private road; used to always warn us not to go near it, complained non stop when us kids played in the road, etc.

There seems to be a prime 3 point turn location in the middle of the street. I mean those three point turns where the front wheels don't move and the back wheels somehow move sideways.

Perhaps he should not have bought a house close to shops. Its like buying a house near a train station or football club and complaing about the cars. Or perhaps like moving next to a motor racing track and complaining about the noise. People do not park outside my house, there are no yellow lines or parking restrictions. Its just not convinient for anything.
