I have just moved to SE London and on my new walk to the station I pass a couple of driveways which I reckon must belong to PH'ers

Number 1

BMW E36 328 Coupe and a Lexus LS400

Number 2

Clio 182 and a Caterfield which looks like it is used as a daily driver

Number 3

Nissan Figaro and Ford Mustang

So do you have any local driveways that when you look at them you think PH?

There was someone that lived round the corner from us that had a Escort Cosworth and an escort rs1600 (I think) But I think he has moved out.

Couple houses down a guy has a Leon FR and an Altea (I think!) & used to have an leon cupra

Plenty of fancy new cars, Aston, E92 M3 etc but doubt they are PHers!

I generally discount the fancy new ones unless they have something else very PH

Obscure Japanese import oddity? Check.

The fact that my dozy blonde friend knows what they are? Uncheck.

Car parking spaces where I work are strictly allocated to a few select people. Someone parks either a Ford Racing Puma or an Elise in one of the spaces each day.

I walk past a corvette on my street every day with a pistonheads sticker on it. Not sure who though.

Where in SE London are you?

There's a Noble M400 about here.

That's a bit of a cheat though as I know the owner is on here.

There's a fella close who has a 288 GTO - I reckon he might be.
Also an Atom and a bronze M5 Touring, but the hoards of Ferraris, AMs, Bentleys, Mercs etc which are seen in Waitrose car park however are mostly bought for prestige rather than actual driving pleasure I guess....

Not sure why that particularly shouts PH to you?

Across the road from my parents house (where I am recently taken up residence again paperbag) a family have an S2 Elise. They've had it for a while but it doesn't come out often from what I've noticed. I'm not really expecting them to be on PH but I'm sure they've noticed my S1 Elise parked in the road and I would certainly say hi if our paths crossed.

The guy down my road with the very nice Caterfield. Bit of a give away is the massive PH sticker over the bonnet.

Bit like the lovely Noble just down the road from my parents too! I did actually post a 'spot' on the Noble forum for that one and got a response from the owner.

Well the 328 seems to be the stock answer for a lot of what car threads on here and the LS400 for barges, that was my reasoning smile

I think I know the occupants of every house in my street and can safely say none of them are PH'ers.

Either old women or young families. Almost all drive decent modern estates but you can tell they didn't choose the cars based on their PH values

There's a couple of blokes nearby I suspect are members of cliosport but I have spied no definite PHers.

Down my street we have the following:

2 x RS6
1 x Classic Lamborghini Islero
1 x 993 Carrera 2
1 x Caterham (unknown type)
1 x Caterham R400
2 x Cayenne Turbo
1 x DBS cabrio
1 x Vantage
1 x 650i

Now my cars have PH stickers, I even take home the PH branded Caterham occasionally but not once have I met anyone who uses PH when I have spoken to people as a result of being with my TVR as they walk past. I've suggested they do, so hopefully that will change.

Guy who parks in the lock-ups behind my place has a Clio v6 and a VX220. Never seen any website or stickers on either though, and he's always driving too fast to say hi to!
