Most interesting car in your street is...

Diabhalta

There is always some better car in the street where you live isn't it? The one you would switch straight away just because it has better engine, it's bigger or just because it is new...

In the street where I live is sometimes a Bmw Z3 parked, so that is the most interesting car and in about week or two it will definitely be my Scimitar GTE (I don't expect that my older neighbour will replace the Yaris and get a 370Z instead ). Mostly average stuff like old fiestas, toyotas and other boring stuff.

So... how about your neighbourhood?

That's because you live in the back arse of nowhere where they don't have streets... only farm tracks...:D

There's a genuine 2008 CL600 down the street from me, the noise is delish...:)

There is chap down the road who used to be mad into his toys, having stuff like a Shelby Cobra, Porsche 911 targa, Honda S2000 Type S (the rip from that was unreal!!!) etc... Now has more settled stuff like an allroad Audi and a Touareg. Owns his own electric appliance shop you see

Untill I got the 166, not one ever drove down my road, ever. Same story with the W126's

ShadowHearth

i live next to graveyard ( i **** you not ), so my neighbours dont drive much.. not anymore anyway... so i guess stuff parked next to me is the nicest

eringobragh

Someone other end of road always has clean jap stuff, never met the guy..

Last few cars hes had:

94 Supra
Honda CRX
DC2 Integra TyreR

Loved the Supra, rest of the road is boredomville bar a few riced up cars here and there.

Out my window I can see a Corolla, a Passat, Polo, Fiesta, Mondeo, some mental looking people carrier and a Berlingo...no fancy stuff around here I tells ya!

Oh, and a Celica.....

tuborg_man

w8 passat estate, sounds like hell on a tape deck

davetherave

There's a Vantage outside the front door. There is also an E-Class in the driveway but that pales in comparison to the Aston.
Neighbours (there is only two of them) don't have much to write home about.

seamus

One guy has a Hummer on my street. Fairly sure he's loaded, he's had it resprayed at least once. Bastard parks cross two spaces even though you'd fit it in one.

CMARTY10

few nice cars floating about,1 that stands out is a nissan laurel turbo with a screamer pipe sounds pretty nice at night coming down the main road!its like music to my ears hearing the turbo wind up!ha id say the other boring neighbours hate it!espescially the yaris man!

retrohead

I live next door to my landlord and he has an "interesting car". A '00 Daewoo Lanos that he bought new and has never washed. So in that regard its interesting. Interesting to see whats growing on it!

Other than that I live near an upmarket restaurant and come Thursday to Sunday there are plenty of nice cars to look at. Last night was a BMW F02 730ld in a gorgeous colour. There usually is a lot of high end cars there.

blastman

Mine, in my opinion, there's nothing else interesting on the road at all.

bazz26

A former neighbour of mine had one of these:



Some sound from that V8.

I saw two of these at one drift event... they are unusual and look good..

Jogathon

Mine are always the most interesting*. Had a z3, loved it but sold it. Bought a VW Eos, diesel (I sold out but the fuel economy is amazing). The only other car to write home about on the road is a 04 Toyota MR2 - nice car but with plenty of bangs and dents on it.

If there are no other cars which are more interesting I would take it as a fact ;-)

In my apartment block, my car is the most interesting, and I'm not being biased! There isn't anything at all remotely interesting, there must be close to 200 cars and every single one of them are boring, mundane, run of the mill, everyday cars.
My last apartment block was more interesting. There were only 50 cars and in that 50 there was my car, another civic type r in red, a range rover, 6 golf gti's, a M3 convertible, a RS4 and an Aston Martin Vantage!

For Forks Sake

*takes look around*

House 1 Mazda6, Skoda Superb estate
House 2. Mazda3, some sort of VW van
House 3. Mazda3
House 4. Toyota Corrolla, VW Polo
House 5. Volvo S40, Opel Zafira
House 6. Mazda5, Toyota Avensis
House 7. Mazda3, Mazda6

So in comparison to that lot, my gaff is positively cosmopolitan with an S40, Golf GTd and an e39 M-Sport parked outside. I live in motoring hell.

cletus

Nothing more interesting than my '99 mk4 Fiesta (unless you count the '07 Mustang LHD)

aujopimur

Thera's a guy down the street with NI reg V12 600 Merc, I often wonder why Revenue hav'nt knocked on his door as it's on a busy junction.
It's been sitting there for a few years, but I have seen him take for the odd spin.

Chavways

Mazda 323 :pac::pac:

psycho-hope

not much interesting here, the odd nice merc that the neighbours boyfriend brings home from work and a 05 fiat panda sporting

Mully_2011

In my estate in College there was

- A Clean MK3 Supra
- 1 blobeye and one Hawk eye Imprezas STis
- E28 of some sort
- A pink Nissan Figroll
- E46 M3
- Integra Turbo
-Big American Camper this thing was the size of a bus

BUBBLE WRAP

Most likely the 78 year old swiss lad that lives down the road from me, has a VW Golf TDI. Lad!. He shouts out the window at me, if he see me walking/cruising past his house. Because I kicked a football through his window when I was young.

Voodoomelon

Guy 6 houses down works for Jaguar and always has nice machines home a few times a year from the UK, XKs, XFs, Land Rovers and XJs.

Another chap at the top of my road is very high up in Mercedes, never has anything less than a 1 year old company car, anything from an S350 to a CL65 AMG.

Almost sounds like Beverly Hills, what gives it away is the Corsas, Astras, Boras, Golfs, Mondeos and 5 series that line the driveways.

Alanstrainor

There's a supercharged Jag XK that's parked in my estate some days. That's the only one other than mine:D

SJPK

probably the highly modified daysul accord which 'booo's' every dod damn mornin at half seven or else the two brand new hyundai i40's!

Sleepy

There's someone doing some serious bangernomics on my road. I posted a pic of the Alpina 635 before, he's also had an S6, an AMG and some various other stuff I can't remember right now...

andyseadog

has to be my house, we have a red 00 octavia TDi outside

or 2 doors down there's a 12 reg petrol avensis. i didn't know you could still buy petrol engined cars new in Ireland in 2012.

Nicest car in my estate is a Porsche 928, although it has seen better times

Where do you live?

blue5

There's a few allright cars in the estate but nothing special. Mostly just 'image' BMWs, Mercs etc (as in no AMGs or M series, just 520D or S320Ds. The one I like the most but rarely get to see is the Porsche Cayman but it's usually hidden in the garage.

Not in my estate but I most recently saw this randomly parked on the road in Dublin...



I do however on occasion come across (what I consider anyway)interesting cars and have started to post pics here

Where do you live?

Surrounded by local authority housing in south London; forgot the Bentley Conti GT, 6 Range Rovers (all Sports except one owned by a seriously sensible individual), 10 minis, assorted twin cab vehicles (yep, tradies live here too) and a pair of early 90s HondaCivics that seem set up for racing.

positron

Not a car but there's a loud-as-f8ck Harley around here, and there's an RV that's bigger than my house (clearly visible on Google Maps).

Where I stay in South London there's a guy with a 928 and he's just letting it rot. He also has an nineties XK8, a Jag XJ40 a Mk1 Range Rover and a Mk2 Range Rover, all covered in Lichen with deflated tyres.

Who knows what he's up to.

Fortunately, they don't rot much. Several parts are aluminium (doors, bonnet) and the body is full galvanised. Left in the elements, you get bubbling and surface rust, but no structural rot

bazz26

A neighbour at one side of me recently bought a brand new Alfa Romeo Giulietta. A neighbout further down has a nice Subaru Forester Turbo. The rest are mostly Avensis, Passats and Mondeos.

Big Nasty

Exluding my own it would be my friend and neighbours 'Vette

dahamsta

Coolest thing in my estate is a kitted Escort van. Not sure what's under the bonnet, but the trimmings look RS Turbo to me. There's a B4 I wouldn't mind a spin off too. I prefer what's in my driveway though.
