Not much around here to be honest, just the odd house which has stupid amounts of expensive metal.

Our drive isn't too bad but apart from that next door have a CLK200 and a Honda FRV, there's a 730d a bit futher down. 3 houses that stick out though, if I went through them all I'd be here all day but couple of Lambo's a RR Phantom, Ferrari, Maser, etc etc.

Stands out really within a smallish road of crap.

Probably doesn't count as it's America but on my street

Mustang GT, Dodge RAM SRT-10, Jeep Hemi, E46 M3, BMW 550i, various Harleys and my lovely ZX6 Ninja.

Almost no 'crap' cars except our shopping car a 2.5 Impreza (non turbo) and a Mini Cooper S convertible.

Apart from my GTO, not a single car is even mildly interesting.

Just an unremitting sea of dull cars, one end to the other.

In the underground car park I'm next to a (fairly tatty TBH hehe ) early Boxster.

Around and about we've got a Nismo kitted 350Z, an E92 M3 Cab, an M5, an MR2 Turbo and a couple of MX5s.

However the cream of the crop for me is a bright orange, debadged 850 T5 Estate with black wheels. I liek to imagine its running Swedish style mega power.

Bloke next door has a 2009 Evo FQ360. Next door but one is into Land Rovers, and is always tinkering on his drive or having bunches of mates round in their off roaders. Somewhere up the lane there is a Boxster S and someone has a very loud Skyline - could be the people who used to have a loud Impreza and a Megane R26. Someone else has an XK-8 with a discreet but noticeable aftermarket exhaust. There's a WRX too. Someone at the far end of the lane has a couple of Triumph Spitfires in his back garden and though the degree of decomposition is hard to judge from the road they look to be OK.

120 houses on my road
Got a nice vantage, quattro, few cooper s'. XKR and more

There used to be a guy who seemed to have a new car on the drive every week.
he had a long garage so they might have all been his. I regularly saw a 355 and a db7 but did see a ford gt there before as well very nice.

well everyone else on my road seems to be old, and have people carriers/cheap 4x4's/old micra's ETC.

so i would say my 1999 E46 328CI is probably the most "PH", although far from most expensive.
