I've a VW Arteon, the 2.0 one - as far as I can tell, it's the third fastest on my road, with the vast majority of the road being Fiestas, Suzuki, Dacia etc.
Probably says a lot about the road I live on to be honest smile

The top two spaces are taken by the same person though, in an Aston and an SVR

In the village without question, probably for many miles around. Two fastest cars I have are an F12 (straight line) and and Exige S3 Komotec 460 with various handling mods. Tis a tad quick.

I drive neither faster than I do my 981 Boxster S on the road though.

Not unless it's been chipped up. I'd rather have/own the turbo though.

It's the oldest (well apart from the older cars I own - oldest is a 72)

It's the fastest (well the daily is 2nd quickest and it's a 1 series)

It has the biggest engine (not hard in a sea of cash cows)

And no-one has a clue what it is - just an old Vauxhall Mini cab with a body kit and wheels and that alone makes me smile



It's also been on the close the longest at 20 years

Nowhere near and mine will do 190mph.
Neighbour has a 458 and a gold Nissan patrol. Along the road is a macca 720s, 650, 600lt, Porsche Gt2Rs, gemballa 911 turbo in one garage. It's quite sandy, can you tell where I live?

Definitely, got the fastest and another also the oldest car on the street. But i live in rural Bucks - everyone drives Isuzu Dmax or Defenders round here. There is a new guy at the end of the village that has a new Audi RS4 but I think I'm the fastest in the race that'll never happen.

Looks like im second fastest in my cooper S, first place goes to an elderly gentleman in his '16 Bentley Continental.
He's always had nice cars, an orange 5.0 Mustang (unexpected) and a silver DB9 were some of his others.

No idea...closest house on one side has a Macan & a Tiguan, closest on the other side an old Landrover & an Astra.

Doesn't make much difference anyway as the lanes are so narrow you won't be doing more than about 20mph until you get to the next village anyway!

There are only 6 houses in my little hamlet - I have the fastest petrol car.... but someone has an electric car, which I assume will be quicker.

Nah, can't possibly be 'faaaakin Claaaaacton.

There's no rusty X-Type with a faded UKIP sticker in the back window and interesting mix of part worn Chinese tyres and a dodgy MOT from Big Ron's garage on the list.

I'll go for somewhere a just a tad more upmarket. Sandbanks in Dorset. smile

I'm not sure I've got the fastest car, there's a W220 S600 V12 Kompressor on the street that I think in theory would be quicker, but given that it's usually pissing oil and often in bits I think I've usually got the quickest working car in the street (M135i).

I've got the fastest motorbike... but it's in bits. I've also got the slowest motorbike: that one works.

Hi there,

Not a hope in hell on our street I'm afraid.

Guy three houses down not content with his Ferrari F40, Rolls Royce Wraith, Ferrari 812 Superfast and Porsche GT3 RS has this week added a Taycan Turbo S, a 488 Pista Spider and a Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

Would take some beating biggrin

Regards

Tim

Someone has a V8 GT Mustang but it spends 99% of its time under a car cover so I don’t think that even counts. That’s about it, for posh cars, it’s a fairly gentile street though I only recently found a retired neighbour had a Fiat 131 Abarth restoration project in his garage until he sold it earlier this year....
