We know what your hiding behind the rusty garage door, but what interesting cars do your neighbours own?

We have quite a noisy street, with my XF-R, neighbours C63, another ones RS6 avant and a lary Focus aRSe.


Not a bad selection all within 100 yards......

There's nothing of any real interest in our street..

New neighbours to our left: Audi A4 (B6) convertible 3.0, BMW 118d, Jaguar S-type V6.

Neighbours to our right: Suzuki Liana 5-door in racing gold.

I literally can't be bothered to type any more laugh

Only one of interest has a current shape XJ Super Sport

Few doors down there's a house who must like to look good, a white A5 and white Evoque!

One couple are elderly and naturally drive a Honda Jazz, in a conservative, ultra bright, shiny blue colour.

The other couple have a Q5 and a Volvo C30 (which I recommended to him as a decent, small car) - he has an orange Harley Davidson too, which looks and sounds superb, of which I am very jealous.

Next door neighbour on one side has a silver Mercedes SL500 (R129) and a black BMW 330i (E46). The Mercedes has done about 40,000 miles and is in as-new condition. He really loves it.

The neighbour on the other side has a blue-black Mercedes E class (not sure which engine) on a W plate.

The people in the house across the road have a Range-Rover with a V8 diesel (L405) and a BMW 330d convertible (E92).

It isn't a long road, but round the corner is an elderly chap who has a Mercedes 380SL (R109) which I believe he has had since new and a pre-war Morris. Another fellow had a collection of Citroen XMs, but I think he may have moved since the cars are not on his drive now.

Apartment block so a big underground car park. Various Porkers and a few other bits and bobs.





Used to be a brace of Astons but they have departed. And a lovely sounding Maserati but that was impounded under the proceeds of crime act!

The house opposite has a brand new RS7 (which replaced his E63) and the lad there has a Clio 182.

Have to say I miss the sound of the E63 starting up in the morning...

A chap along the road has a Caterham. Apart from that the only moderately interesting things are a CLS500 and a Golf GTI ED30.

Focus Diesel on the left and Micra on the right (god's waiting room close)

Further afield I remembered there is a 96 porka 911 under a tarp round the corner

There was an old P6 Rover V8 in lovely condition at the other end of the street but I think that got sold a while back.

But other than that zilch

My M135i is the fastest car in the street (honestly, every other car in the street is dull), however my neighbour's pal occasionally visits in his green Lamborghini Huracan.
