Just looked at the "neighbours garage" thread, I thought it would be what cars they have, rather than "should I buy my neighbours garage"?
So I thought I'd start one

My neighbour has a Micra
A BMW GS bike and a beautiful old Velocette bike

On one side, a grey Focus diesel estate, on the other side a grey Focus diesel hatchback. I have a black petrol Focus.

In fact, my street is starting to look like the opening scene to the Kevin and Perry movie, where every house has a Focus in the drive.

Immediate neighbour has a blue Nissan Note... seems to be the obligatory choice once you hit 65 years old.

There is a car park outside my driveway and in it are...

Silver Mazda RX8
Silver Mark IV Vauxhall Astra
Silver Toyota Yaris
Blue Volvo C70
Black Vauxhall Vectra
Black Renault Clio

Previous place (inner city unit block) was a bit better than the current one:

Turbo'd Honda S2000,
R34 Skyline GTR,
Maserati Coupe
Few Holden V8s
2 x WRX and one STI
Focus ST
Alfa Mito QV
Golf R
Legacy 3.0RB

New place is a bit more grungy, bohemian, artsy. Best is a Z4 3.0 a couple of houses up the street.

In our little hamlet, and excluding my own fleet of automotive perversions, there's a v8 Disco, a '50s Bristol, an Austin Sheerline, a '30s Singer, a '70s BMW bike and some old Tractors. And some dull stuff. Apparently there's a WO-era Bentley in the village somewhere.

Jeep Cherokee
Peugeot 307 Cabriolet
Mercedes A-Class
BMW 3 Series
And I'm sure there's a Ferrari 328 in there somewhere (I was taken out in it a while back) however I haven't seen it for a while.

Current house: a clapped out Mk1 Focus in that special grey/green (with brown bits), an 07ish Ford Fiesta, and a 2012 320d M-Sport Coupe in grey with 19" wheels over it's tiny brakes.

At the new house where we should be moving soon, it seems every other car is an Audi Q model or a BMW 1 Series. I've seen an XF there too but nothing amazing yet.

No driveways here, all terraces. However there is a garage block down the street and one chap has an interesting collection - Viper, MG SV, Chrysler 300C, ancient Volvo estate, Rover 3500. Other than that there's a slammed 3-series that looks ridiculous. There are probably some other interesting toys hidden away in the various garages dotted around too.

Currently in the yard is a Nissan Navara, Toyata Hilux surf, Toyota 4x4 of some description, and occasionally a tatty old yaris.

Elsewhere in the hamlet is an BMW X6, Ferrari F12, Lexus RX600h, AM DB9, AM Vantage, various white goods BMW, Audi and Mercedes. Lastly, a surprising amount old cars (30s and 40s) including a beautiful 50s Rolls Royce.

One of the benefits of living in Hampshire is the rich neighbours and their taste in cars!

Well timed thread; we only have one neighbour (big old Victorian semi, we share one gateway onto the property) and he's just bought a Merc ML for his OH and an Arnage for him.

He used to have a purple Diablo. Sadly for him he's only got a single garage and it wouldn't fit, so sat outside getting covered in sap, leaves and bird poo yikes
