Pistonhead Families...

[Andehh]

I drive passed a house each day in High Wycombe, which has a medium walled gated driveway, that is home to;

New 7 series
Old 7 series (previous gen)
New S-class
New C-class
Audi RS4 (couple years)
2 x 3-series (one coupe)
New-ish M3
Oldish Audi A4
New Audi A5
Old Scoobie
New Mercedes vito(?) transporter Van

(new is <2 years)

...and everytime I go passed I am utterly amazed at how they can have so many cars. It must be a 5-6 bed house, but is on a busy junction/round about and in a remarkably average neighbourhood along a main road.

Every member of the family must be a real petrolhead, as they must have at least 2 nice cars each. In some cases 2-3. They are an Asian Family, if that adds anything to the thread.

Any of you know of households (outside of Pistonheads) with a drive way as impressive as the above? I have tracked it down on street view showing the best part of a dozen cars on the drive way, but google isn't working properly and wont let me link atm.

They're probably on benefits.

Wow, so they have what, maybe £400,000 of cars parked on the drive. Nice.

Are they always parked there? could just be associated family? Maybe they run a business from home.

Would love to see what their insurance bill is. What multicar policy was invented for I guess.

Sons and daughters will likely have decent jobs but still be living at home, so no rent to pay.

Plenty of money for motors.

Either that or they're all nicked.

Most of them are just transport. From that list I'd only be interested in the M3 and the Scooby.

I thought the same, but would include the RS4 in my interesting list too.

It doesn't seem that 'Pistonheady'. There are only a couple of exciting/interesting cars there.

A lot of metal, but not so much want.

From a few years ago/Street View. They have a big automatic gate and very high railings now, along with CCTV & full roof of solar panels etc.

You can see the drive way as to how many cars they tend to keep knocking around!

Yeah, there's almost definitely more than 3 people living in that house.

Convenience store at same address?

Maybe that's the business address and they own a chain of shops?

I hope the guy on the mobility scooter made it home before it rained.

Debated posting the link up, but with the size of the gate & fences and CCTV you would have to really really want one of those cars! The gates & fences are all just metal/totally see through as well, so anyone walking or driving passed can see everything! Will remove the link when this thread runs it's course though!

Not anything amazing, but I get the bus pass a house that has two E32 7 Series, a 190E Merc and a 155 Alfa which makes me smile. Parking is at a premium around there too so I bet having two land yachts and two medium sized saloons makes the owner popular (It has crossed my mind that the Alfa and Merc aren't owned by the same guy, but I'm thinking the sort of guy that has two E32s in the same colour is the type of guy to have a 155 and 190E knocking around too).
