How 'PH' is your street/road/cul-de-sac etc.?
Discussion
Not very...
Looking out of my window I see an 06 Golf, an 06 Astra, a Civic, Volvo S60 (and a visiting SAAB), a tuned up MR2 and a Saxo (kids
), a Merc SLK (the first one), next door's Nissan whatever (4 door saloon) and their old Mondeo - There's a Toyota saloon of some sort out of eye line and a Rover 416 and a Ford Ka too.
Two houses around the corner have a Mini of some sort and a BMW M3 convertible between them - Two most interesting cars around here aside from mine
There was someone in a nearby road who had a Ferrari Testarossa, but I think he's moved.

Pretty good - most cars are garaged, but on a summer afternoon have seen:
- F355 Spider
- 993 RS (! - this was a bit of a surprise - it is immaculate, and the owner is a top chap)
- 997 Carrera 2S
- Bentley GT
- 964 Carrera 2
- Morgan Aero 8
- Austin Healey 3000
- Boxster
- V8 Vantage
- E46 M3
- E36 M3
Not a bad little haul for a part of South London that really isn't particulatly grand; head to Clapham, and you're knee deep in Astons, 911s and M3s.

Not very. It's a weird mix of Japanese, Saffers, Kiwis and Brits - that's the neighbours - who don't seem to be very much in to cars and buy as per stereotype.
However, i have spotted 2 x 993s, 1 x Boxster S, Jag S-Type .. well it's not a 3-series .., an S-reg Saab, a 968, and my old EP3 Civic

I live in a very 'PH' area. My neighbour drives a Maserati GT but that's about it, in terms of obvious cars in the area (apart from the two Turbo Rs, multiple recent Porsches, fast BMWs etc - the usual modern suburban detritus) but there are lots of amazing classics tucked away in garages nearby and I can walk in to any one of my several local pubs and spend a night talking about cars with old boys who have the most amazing stories; driving a GT40 from London to Malta is a favourite, or the guy who worked as a mechanic at the first London Lamborghini concession in the late 60s has some incredible tales too.

Legnum
BMW 840Ci
E34 5 series
Triumph Spitfire
Beach buggy
Porsche Cayenne (meh its 4 odd litre turbo one)
Few bigger mercs
Jag XJ6
An old Austin 7 I think it is, well its circa 1920
Ferrari 456 I think, I have only seen it twice this year and it has the most dreadful exhaust in the world, for a Ferrari it sounds vile, for those of you who have heard a Ferrari V12 (It is a V12 in them, front engined?) with a Tubi exhaust they sound good, this sounds like dog s
t, I heard it go out two days ago in the snow of all days to take a Ferrari out, and all I could think was "WTF is that, sounds like a V12 with a big of spanners thrown in fighting with a V8...Oh its his Ferrari"
Lamborghini Gallardo occasionally about
Alfa 147GTA, its an Alfa so has to be put in
Mini Cooper S
MGB
MGA

Up my street,
90's Ford T Bird (owners got a thing for old skool slightly unusual/obscure yank iron. Has had a Trans Am and an 80's Mustang in the past)
VW Camper
C4 Corvette (occaisionally)
MGB Roadster
Mondeo ST220
Have also have had TVR Cerb, Griff, 350i and a Lamborghini Countach outside here before and after events i've participated in! Also my uncles Aston Martins when he owned them too
My street isn't very PH at all. A neighbour of mine used to have an immaculate laser red Mk2 Golf GTi and a Mk3 Golf VR6 but he replaced those with Smartcars and now whenever I see him in the street he preaches about we should be saving the environment and how he does his bit...
My car is the only PH car in our segment of the road even though I've been told (several times) that I'm bonkers for spending so much time cleaning an 'old Audi'
. There is a very nice E39 M5 at the far end of our road but thats about half a mile away.
