My old neighbour, why have 1 when you can have 2.

Nothing spectacular car wise any more since a few people moved last year - so no more classic VW camper and a couple of noisy TVR's to wake you up in a morning or at the weekend.

Worst car that seems to frequent the road at the moment is an absolute shed of a part scened, stanced & rat look, lime green E36 BMW which appears to be far from road legal.

One resident in my road appears to have turned their garage into a gym. Well I assume it's a gym based on the loud grunting that emanates from there every weekend and the occasional weeknights. Unless of course the grunting noises are the result of some form of 50 Shades sex / torture dungeon that he's built for him & his partner laugh

Most of our neighbours drive crappy old MPV's but at the bottom of the road we have a Z3, a TVR Griffith, a Trans Am and that's pretty much it. None of the above cars ever seem to go anywhere so I'm having to keep the party going all on my lonesome!

Neighbour opposite has a Brabus SL which often provides my alarm when he goes to work in the morning hehe

Other than that there's a GT86, Audi S4 and TTS, an Elise and a Ferrari 355 but that comes out about twice a year - such a waste.

Live in the country but the only remotely near house to me is a 65 or so year old man. Has a Mitsubishi Shogun and a Jag Xk8.

Nice to see it out in the sunny scotish weather

Our street is fairly quiet, although there are a few interesting cars:

- 997 GT3
- 2 classic Beetles in "racing" guise
- Bora that's been Dub'd
- Heavily modded E30 323i
- 2013 VW Camper

Currently it's boresville, with the usual Insignia'a, Passat's Cashcow's and Mondeo's and a couple of white vans.frown An XF R did make a brief appearance during the last Bank Holiday weekend to liven things up a bit.

The previous place was completely different. In my road alone, there was a VXR8, a MK1 Cortina estate, an RS2000 and a VW T1 "Splitty" . The next road along had, amongst other things, a Whaletail Cossie, an Evo 8 and a completely bonkers Ford Popular 100E running a YB evil

I live in an apartment and have two spaces in the basement. Directly behind me there's a lovely Ferrari 328 GTS. Across from me a 911 C4S Cab. And across from him a 458. And we're all surrounded by range rover sports and Nissan Patrols! Yes...I live in the Middle East and feel very poor with my Z4 and Nissan Xterra! wink

One has 2 Corsas, the other doesn't drive but has a friend/relative who often visits in a knackered diesel Primera. The only remotely PH car in the entire street is a Mercedes CLK

WTF is a Samba? I'm guessing not the Talbot variety? Also, why has he got both bonnets up on the 2 Porsches at the same time?

There's not too much around here, but a guy a few doors down has a tuned C5 RS6 Avant which gets well used as a daily hack, and a very loud Cobra kit car, which he's managed to keep on to despite the missus wanting rid of it.

There's a red A3, everything else is grey Audis and the like, there is a C6 actually, but it is grey. Round the corner there is someone with three Volvos, one is an electric V60, still grey. I have a red 320d, adds some colour to the sea of grey.

Not many houses and therefore not much of interest on the street.

One neighbour has a green Lotus Elan SE under a tarp that I've never see move and another old chap has a very nice pale yellow e-type coupe he sometimes bumbles about in - albeit very infrequently.

My neighbours aren't doing too bad with a 123d for the miles and a nice 370z convertible for the sunny days we have few and far between. Apart from that it's all small econobox commuter cars.
