So we have lived in our house for 16 years now and as much as we get on with our next door neighbours it's always just been pleasant banter,they have a double garage which his wife uses for her car but i have noticed something parked under covers which has never come out.. so yesterday the opportunity came to hand to ask the question.. what is it..? A 1980 Triumph TR7 Convertible which he's had from 6 months old and done 43,000 miles..

I'm not sure, but the lights are on all the time, and he's in and out all day long, so I suspect it's a crop of something.

A coffin...! Yep.. he's a joiner/cabinet maker and in the early 90's worked for a bespoke funeral directors and ended up making his own coffin which now resides in his garage...

Not quite next door neighbour but someone a few doors down from me has an e46 M3 CSL which I look at enviously every time I pass it.

A 216bhp 1.6 nova with a sequential gearbox and a redtopped, sequential boxed escort G3. They both sound epic!

What has this got to do with the Classic & Sportscar show?

It's the PH competition. They mentioned it on the homepage a few weeks ago. Most original answer to the question wins four free tickets, hotel accomodation for the show weekend, £1,000 spending money and the use of a Lotus Elise for a year.

An MV Agusta and a Ducati monster.

Over the road have a Few Chevy bucket type cars, not really sure of year and model but I suspect they are kit type reproductions. Sound nice when they fire up.

We don't have garages on our street but one of my neighbours has a lime green 02' Punto parked out front covered in "folk the system" stickers...

A Rolls Royce Phamtom and a Lamborghini! They've only just moved in and have invited us over, looking forward to seeing the cars.

As there is only room in my garage for the Bugatti Veryon he has my E Type Jaguar, Aston Martin DB 4 Zagato, Jaguar XK 120 & a Porsche 911. Intriguingly each of these cars has a little copper brush attached to the chassis.
