Had a village flower show(!) event a couple of weekends ago and decided to add a car display for interest. All the following came from within a radius of half a mile of the village green...










An eclectic collection, to say the least!

over the road has an alfa and a few bikes; other than that it's greysville unless you're impressed by bimms and mercs with cooking engines.

guy down the road a bit with half a dozen old yank tanks a couple of which are interesting but he's a bit odd in a redneck/deliverance kind of a way.

Hemi jeep at the end of the street thats driven by a lady.

The secondhand car dealer who backs on to us usually has several fairly new lambos/fezzas etc in stock. Not sure there isn't something dodge about the setup, it's hardly the catchment area.

I do think you probably win this wink

In my road: an Audi S5, Civic Type R, Skyline R32, and I guess mine is just about noteworthy (Saab 9-5 Aero remapped etc.)

Other than that, pretty dullsville.

Nothing too serious with an XKR with a sports exhaust, an Aston Vantage (new one), couple of SL55's and a Cayenne turbo...............but the winner is the VW Golf G60 in brilliant red with gold BBS alloys, lovey thing thumbup

A neighbour has a Ford Puma, which he really looks after.

That's it in my street, but on my estate there's a 997 in Turbo flavour or similar and a Lambo Huracan.

There's a couple down the road with a rather heavily modified Viper and a MG SV amongst others. Also a lovely F-Type works nearby. There's an Overfinch Rangie too.

Our new neighbours brought their old car with them, a Ford Anglia - which was nice... Apart from that, and my Riley 1.5, there's nothing of any interest.

Fastest cars would be a new Maserati and c63 AMG. A middle aged guy has also recently bought the limited edition version of my previous Abarth 595, Another chap within the same development has four or five cars including a Cayenne, Evo 9, Abarth and until maybe a year ago an SLS which was stunning. I was speaking to another resident the other day who has a lovely E class AMG - about 8 years old and immaculate - he works in a Mercedes dealership so always has a range of nice mercs. They're probably the highlights I would say.

Total durge on my street really. Immediate vicinity are 2 x Corsa's, 1 x semi Max Powered 1.1 Saxo, boggo A3, Kia Cee'd, Ford KA and a Hyundai I30. A bit further on is a guy with half a Land Rover on his drive but that's it unless I walk miles (slight exaggeration) from the house.

Bugger all. Immediately either side is a choice of nothing (although sometimes a range rover visits) or a Civic with a nasty dent in the front wing. A little further down either way we have a Fiat 500 or a mid 00's Mondeo.

There used to be a RenaultSport Megane (big backside model) and there is a tatty looking E46 M3 further up the street.

A V8 Vantage drives through every morning but I can't work out why (I thought Landlord when I first saw it, but why drive through every day?) and we used to get a local footballer coming to get his hair cut or something in his 458 but I haven't seen him for awhile (possibly transferred, I don't follow football).

Literally zero of interest on my street :/

There's a MK3 MR2 on the street to the left of me and that has a fruity exhaust, that's as exciting as it gets.

Ten houses on our street, totalling...

2 Landcruisers
1 Prado
1 Kluger
1 Golf diesel
2 Impreza hatches - not WRX
1 BMW E90 325i
2 old Camrys
1 old Merc C180
1 Volvo V40 2.4
1 Volvo V60 D5
1 Volvo V70 T6
1 Forester 2.5 NA
1 Honda Accord
1 Lexus RX350

And thats it. Even within a range of streets nearby, there's only a Z4 3.0 and a TVR Griffith of any note. Neighbourhood is a nice spot on the globe, but not many cars of note - even those that spend on their cars seem to buy the usual Merc/BMW/Audi/RRS stuff.

One side we have a Mazda CX-5 diesel and an early MK2 Clio 1.2 and the other side have a 5008 and Kuga, both diesel, so neither is exciting in the slightest! Having said that further up the road a bloke owns a Willys Jeep which he often drives when the weather is nice and there is a very nice E90 M3 saloon and a tastefully modified and rather intimidating looking Evo 9 lurking in a garage at the top of the road.
