I am the neighbour from hell (apparently)

[ncs]

Just had a major run in with one of my neighbours.

Apparently the fact that I run my Griff for a few minutes before I drive it, together with the fact that we often meet at my house on a Sunday morning (11.00 mind you, not early) has upset him so much he felt the need to confront me in the street tonight.

Those of you that know me (back me up here guys) know that I will do anything within my power to help my fellow man. This gent however, came steaming across the road & ranted like you have never heard before....I run a south London timber merchant so I've seen my fair share of beligerent types & I know how to behave in certain situations.

Picture the scene, there I am, letting him say his piece & trying to be neighbourly, This was not working & when he 'demanded' I move house certain buttons were pressed that really need to be left well alone!

He is now sitting in his front room nursing a bruised ego, he's very lucky thats all he got bruised but I did advise him it was best to walk away while he still could.....you can slag me off, shout at my kids, abuse the wife, but never, ever have a go at my Griffith!!

So anyway, Bromley possee, same time next week??

Nick (feeling better now, problem shared & all that)

Met a few like that in my time. Just laugh in his face, tell him to F#ck off, do a 180 and walk away. This usually drives 'em nuts. If he grabs you then turn around and hammer him. IMHO of course......

Wow! I didn't really see you as the hell raiser type Nick. Obviously I stand corrected

Hope it all works out,

Steve

Thought for the day - never have a battle of wits with an unarmed man!

If I had a neighbour who started up a TVR at 11 in the morning I would make sure I was up and dribbling at the sound!

Your neighbour obviously does not understand the finer points of cars!

What a masterly understatement! Your neighbour is obviously a tt.

Next PH meet at your place then? Massed startup sounds good.

[pesty]

When you buying race pipes then?

[Tripps]

Reward him with a sports exhaust

I'm sure Carrie will back you up completely now

[atg]

"Move house!" ... what a commedian. De-cat, sports exhaust.

[badapple]

Reward him with a sports exhaust

Good idea this! Or perhaps the next PH meet should start from your street.

[Bodo]

Why not invite Napier-Bentley Owners Club for breakfast?

[Tripps]

Instead of Virginia Water, Bickley should be the next venue

Seriously Nick, hope this muppet doesn't take things further or cause trouble.

Otherwise it's a case of us , neighbour , followed by a for the muppet.

I have an akrapovic exhaust on my 1300cc bike. I'd be glad to pop by any sunday around 7:00...

[qualityscrew]

I bet the ahole owns most (if not all) of the following:
1. Lawnmower
2. Strimmer
3. Yappy dog
4. Screaming kids
5. Rotary drill
6. Loud (FAT) wife
7. 'Blakey' studs in his shoes
8. Amstrad stereo

The list goes on......

That's why I don't get hassle from mine.... He owns the lot!!!

How many tiv's can we get outside your house?

[shadowninja]

I wish I got the luxury of being woken up at 11am on a sunday by the roar of a TVR engine being fired up, not 7am every saturday and sunday by some screaming kid next door (assuming he hasnt already woken up at 4am as he sometimes does)

I often recall that summer's saturday morning when I heard the burble of a TVR as it was parking up just down the road... looked out the window and spotted this leggy blonde climbing out.

[jmorgan]

I have one of them, screaming and effing and blinding at me, fist in the air hooligan style I am gonig to kill you etc. Joy of joy's, for sale sign went up outside his house yesterday
Should have added they live accross the road and therefore in the blast zone.

Wait 'til next door's firking Spaniel has woken you up at 6am on a Saturday, 7am on a Sunday then 3am on a Monday! A TVR at those times would be pure Music!

[MikeyT]

So the bloke lives opposite then - not even next doo? Tw@t.

Once woke the neighbour at my old house by screaming as the tele as Tyson was decked by Holyfield at about 5.30am in the morning - don't you just hate light sleepers?

He put a note through my letterbox complaining about it. I sent him a poem about PASSION - for sport, for cars, for women.

He never mentioned it over the garden fence though, the next time I saw him

[RZD]

I can't believe it Nick!!!!! I thought I was the only one with friendly, car loving neighbours
Next week has got to be a blast....how about an early morning call on Saturday as well....just to start his weekend off nicely
What motor does he drive???? I bet its some kind of politically correct zero emmisions conjestion free eurobox!

[ncs]

So I think we have a solution..next time theres a Tyson fight on its all round mine with your de-catted sports exhaust beasties.
Its not uncommon to have about 6 TVR's parked outside my house on a Sunday morning, so I can see why he may be a little hacked off. Ask me nicely & its problem solved, threaten me & its going to get messy!

Thanks for your words of wisdom, I feel this could be ongoing for a while to come.
