M4 man meant to be out on the road in meetings but tossing it off at home, jumps in the car to make hands free phone calls to the boss/colleagues with road noise in the background. "Yeah, good meeting thanks, I'm back in next week to sign the terms. Just on my way to the next one..."
You've done that too then

Do we live on the same street?!
The guy a few doors down has a white M4. His house is odd: no curtains, just a chair in a room and a TV, but at 2 am he will shuffle out, and off he goes with his M4, Akrapovic exhaust popping and crackling away.
Used to have a neighbour a few doors down similar to this, but did used to see him going off to work everyday, biggest surprise was another neighbour telling me about the bloke's wife who lived with him, he must have lived there about 7 years and I never saw his wife once.The guy a few doors down has a white M4.

absolutely weird one over the weekend. I could heard the wife answer the door and then talk to someone for a bit at the doorstep whilst i was getting ready for us all to go out. Turns out it was a lad from down the street who i estimate to be 22 years old or so... we'd never spoken to them in our lives and i wouldn't really recognise them out of context, but have seen them about. He was saying that his brother was really into cars and would like to wash my car for free (I've got an Audi S8). The brother is probably a year or two younger than this lad - don't believe there is any special needs angle to this. I think it would be adorable if they were like primary school age, but from a pair of adults i found it very strange, and was a bit taken aback. Mrs 2CV just kind of said she'd speak to me and we would come and let them know. I'm basically pretending it hasn't happened, but now I am wondering if i have just been a tt and should let him... but then i think no fking way it's not like he is a kid, and i wouldn't even let most professionals near my car.... then i am thinking we might get a brick through the window.... then i am thinking there is more to the request than meets the eye. Maybe I am being too British but I just don't want this weird situation thrust upon me!
I reckon he wants to set up as a car washer/detailer and wants to use pics of your cleaned car to promote his services, seeing as it's a bit of an executive conveyance.t and should let him... but then i think no fking way it's not like he is a kid, and i wouldn't even let most professionals near my car.... then i am thinking we might get a brick through the window.... then i am thinking there is more to the request than meets the eye.

My old neighbour swore by cleaning his alloy wheel's with petrol 
I had a neighbour who used to watch me applying all sorts of Autoglym to my car, then told me to just use Mr Sheen on the bodywork. Same neighbour that watched me planting rhubarb then gave me a 20 minute lecture on rhubarb care. Then asked if he could have some of my first harvest as he "couldn't grow it".
I have a neighbour who lives almost directly opposite to me. We've never got past the polite wave stage. He is middle-aged and married, though we have never seen them out together; (other than that) he seems very ordinary.
However! once a month, and it's always the evening of the third Friday, he dons a poorly fitted toupe and (equally ill fitting) suit and goes out for about three hours.
We've see him hovering by the front door checking the coast is clear before he makes a sprint for the car.
He will then arrive back sans toupe and park just a little way up the road. He sits in the car for about 30 mins before driving onto his drive and dashing indoors.
