I've not counted but there's various Aston Martins (at least 10); a few dozen Boxster, 911 variants (one that I did notice is a Carrera 4 S) and Cayennes (haven't spotted a Caymen yet); a couple bog standard Ferrari 360's, at least one CL55 that I've seen, but to be honest all Mercedes look the same to me (same with BMW of which every M-series imaginable can be found in our car park(s)); a couple Bentley's and Maseratis 3200's; and there are a couple TVR's (Tuscan, Chimaera, Cerbera) that make rare appearances. If it's not a TVR I don't really pay too close attention but the preceeding is what I can recall of the top of my head...

A car park I use next to the office that is commonly known as the "Waitrose Car Park" contains at least one of each Ferrari of the last 20 years except the Enzo, two or three dozen 911s of various types, a few of each modern Aston, likewise all the Maseratis, TVRs, BMW Z8, M5s, M3s etc. etc. I don't think I've seen more than one Lambo, nor a Ford GT, but there is a tiny electric car and even a new Corvette Z06!

Yes, I'm pretty sure you know the one I mean!

Very small (12 spaces) carpark usually has Boxster S, 997 C4, AMV8, Bentley Conti GT, Merc SL500 and to top it off (when I get to use the one allocated space) my Yaris which is obviously the one which all the tourists stop to look at and take photos of

My Car park isn't too bad. In no particular order:

2x M3 cabrio
2x Boxster
1x Cayenne
1x 911 (997)
1x Bently Conti GT
1x F430 spider (black with black wheels and a fruity sounding exhaust-sooo cool)
1x black McMerc SLR
1x DB9 Volante
My 330i sport!
Variouse slks, 3 series, superbikes and hot hatches.

the DB9, Bently GT, McMerc SLR, F430 appear to be owened by one lucky family and the cars always rotate and ther is usually only 2 at a time here.

But there are also two very special beauties tucked away in the corner which I rate as the best cars in lot: two original looking BMW e30 325i sports.
Bring back the good old days of small wheels and no traction control!

There's a driveway near my brothers house, the guy has;

Ferrari 360 in Red
Porsche 911 Cab in Silver
Range Rover Sport in Black
Bentley Arnage in Grey
Mercedes E55 Estate in Silver
Maserati Quattroporte in Black
(These are all less than 2 years old as well)

Not bad, i think he has young kids so they're pretty much all for him and his missus! Christ knows what he does but not a bad stable in my opinion. Sorry its not an office car park.

Probably because he doesn't like them.
The 996 belongs to the wife, the Maser I think is the sons, the DB9 is their newest and they are thinking of chopping the 360 in for a 430.

Not the best but a Vanquish, a DB9 and occasionally a 360.

Why do I post? We share the car park with Network Rail and they belong to its directors

Ie you and I have paid for them through our tax

OOOOOH the PAIN!!!

Carpark not far from my office has been touted as one of the best in the country for a pasttime called, ahem, "dogging", whatever that might be.
Can anyone enlighten me?
