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.
Same here; all dull cars apart from one quite nice SLK.
But nearby are two Veyrons, one a Vitessse in storage!

Everybody has sheds on my street. I seem to be the only one with an interesting car.

Across the road from the block of flats I used to live in there used to be an immaculate old-school Dodge Charger. I sometime go down that road but it's not there anymore

Someone a few houses down has an R8, his wife has a convertible 3 series. There's an MX5 and a Lexus IS. Otherwise it's mostly Korean or French diesel ste. Oh, a Focus ST and Sky van the other way.

Guy opposite me has a GTR that he commutes in. The guy next to him has a collection of 20 motor bikes, a Rover 75 V8, and a recently sold Lotus Elan.

A little further up the road a newish Renaultsport Clio which I need to investigate further as it looks more than standard.

Those are the decent cars on a road of 40 houses, the rest is all financed diesels.

We call my part of the street the Golf Club, for reasons that should be obvious. Nos 64, 65, 66, 67 & 70 have a Golf of some description!

Mine's the only supercharged R32 though... (nobody knows apart from me wink)

The only cars of slight interest within a few hundred yards of my place are a Unimog & an E34 BMW M5. Everything else is bland standard issue lease stuff like Clios, Polos, Fiestas with a few 320Ds -surprisingly not a single white one though!

None of my neighbours has anything interesting, but the father of one of them often pootles past in a rather nice Lancia Fulvia.

An Aston, a Morgan and a cooking SLK amongst my neighbours - there is a R35 and an R33 GTR also just around the corner.

Most of my neighbours own the usual nearly new 4 cylinder diesle stuff e.g. Merc C-Class, Golfs and Jeep Patriot. However i do have one nearby neighbour that has a Range Rover, Jag XF, Challenger E-Type and a Land Rover Series 2 (I think) trials machine with an RV8 under the bonnet. His other half has an Aston Martin DB9 that's used as a daily driver and replaced a DB7 Vantage a couple of years ago. Someone round the corner has a Caterham 1.4 K-series and a friend a little further on owns a Westfield.

Neighbour to my left has a convertible 320d which has chunks of tyre missing and dents down the side (my guess is he tries to drift on the road when out). Neighbour to my right has an old X-Trail. Rest of the road has nothing interesting at all. I've got the most interesting car on the road if I’m honest. Although a guy down the road used to have an Astra VXR.

Next door have a Mini Cooper S pram, house directly opposite has an Alfa GTV 3.0 V6, a MK1 Golf Covertible on old school BBS wheels and a Harley, house next door to him have a blacked out Land Rover, a Range Rover Sport, a Jag XE, an E91 330i, a Caterham and a very nice lightly breathed on 60's Mini Cooper. Further down the road there's a Triumph Herald, a 90's Camaro, a rather lovely late model Jag XJS convertible and a Porsche Boxter owned by various houses. Plus where road peters out into a bridal way, there's a house with a driveway and garden full of old Alfas.
