Best car on your road

passatman86

Just similar to reading a comment from another poster. Whats the best car one of your neighbours drive that you'd like.

If i could have one my neighbours cars "from not a great selection" it would be a Bmw 6 series saloon grand coupe

D3V!L

The standards are pretty low on my road. The best car is my 192 Nissan Leaf.

"picking your own car"

Not literally on my road but there's an R8 around the corner.

Chap couple doors up has a 202 BMW X5 MSport. Looks the part but I can’t imagine it’s cheap to run.

Best? hmm... there's a Silvia laid up in a driveway not moving. Might be best in someones books.

In terms of spec, performance etc. one has a BMW 330e - that's probably the height of it.

Neighbour has a 1974 Range Rover in perfect condition, in burnt orange with a brown interior, as was the fashion back then. But it's usually garaged about 3km away. Everything else is a silver/grey Qashqai or Hyundai Tucson or RAV 4.

I'll be moving after Christmas.

SQ5 up the road here

Red, well... pinkish at this point. There's another similar car in another part of my estate.

Not sure if Silvia or what, I didn't get a good look at it. I'm not too up on them.

This one can't be there more than maybe 18 months. The other car maybe 2-3 years max.

Crazy petrolhead selection on my road. 1 x 2002 Audi S8, 1 x 2000 Audi S3 (same house). 1x mid-00’s CL55 AMG. 1 x Alfa 146 Cloverleaf. 1 x BMW 530e. 2 x BMW i3s’s. 1 x BMW 635csi. 1 x 1978 Mercedes 280SE. 1 x BMW iX3. There’s only around 30 houses and they’re all ordinary enough bungalows. Must be something in the water….

Mercedes G Wagon 2021 reg and an Aston Martin on UK plates.

A 2013 7 Series would be my choice if a large loaded gun was put to my head looking for a choice, only thing I'd be arsed with, lots of stuff nearly new but little or none of it over 200bhp and most are basic poverty spec as regards options, cloth seats etc. In the 90's around me was awash with petrol heads, easily 10 cars from then I would take over the stuff from today.

goochy

08 m3 I live in split level apt. Block a few floors down and hear it's roar in the morning . There is a Peugeot Rcz also surprised they never took off . Fine looking car - badge I suppose

A green Porsche taycan.

Road is mostly old people with conservative car tastes. So I'd probably have to go for the Volvo P1800. Same owner has a Saab 96 v4 (four stroke).

Both could do with a bit of bodywork resto but are running and used in summer. He has a more normal car too

Id admittedly say the rcz looks great but its probably the badge for most people

Guy over the road often brings home a unimog from work. I love it. He also has a black g wagon .

The rest of the road are mainly taxis in the form of skodas and avensii

Audi S6 or an F36 435d sapphire blue over tan which I quite like.

Saab was out parked on the road tonight so its not just summer he runs them in!

micah537

If I could choose one of my neighbour's cars I'd probably choose shooting my leg instead. All Hyundai, Kia and slow uninspiring cars.

There is a yellow 2007 GT3 911 down the road from my brothers house, would love to take it out for a nice relaxing slow drive.

hoodie6029

02 Impreza STI in my last estate. Also a LHD JCW MINI, a 2011 IIRC.

130 houses in the estate and that was all that was interesting. Everything else was white goods.

afatbollix

The family I park beside is a Porshe house, She has a Macan, His is a 911 GT3. Bought it for 125k, 4 weeks later they offered to buy it back at 250k.

Was saying you can't just get on the list for a GT3, Hes had to buy a new 911 & hers each year for 5 years before his dealer would allow him to get on the list for a GT3. His winter car is a Honda e...

The other side is a RS4 Avant as she had a baby 6 months ago and the V8 RS7 had to go.... But at least her new one has the same V8 roar when its started.. Absolute legends.

The thing is we live in a **** hole area but they do have alright jobs. All on PCP I'm sure....

black & white

Best is a Mercedes CLS 220D, second is Audi Q2.

Larbre34

All on the proceeds of crime I'm sure.

Can't see Volkswagen Bank offering a PCP on an RS4

The J Stands for Jay

I used to have a neighbor who worked with classic cars in some capacity. Rally spec Mini Cooper, Ferrari Dino, old 911, all just casually parked on the kerb.

I also have the nicest on my street. Only about 20 cars, all white goods type. I'd sooner walk

Maserati Quattroporte is the winner by a country mile in our area. Aside from that, it's all very regular Toyota, Skoda and Volkswagen metal.

passatman86

Any new additions on your roads since the new year ?

CianRyan

Best is subjective, my car brings me the most joy but I guess it's probably the Tesla Model S, Audi S3 (or the 10 or so other such Audis), the pile of Mercs, Volvo XC90 or the noisy Corsa OPC.

Saw a black over white NA MX5 around the other day, hoping it comes back.

Nothing really. No PCPers on my road

Best would be my wife's 2014 Volvo D5 V70!

Neighbour just got a new Focus. My 8 year old Volvo is still the best 😁

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118599386#Comment_118599386

My 2014 S80 D4 would be second best 😅

Every Qatari I know (which was a few, all doctors/doctors wives - from an old job) drove G Wagens.

Bentley bentaga two doors down and hubby has a silver cloud Ferrari and some other exotics.

next door have a lovely jeep trail hawk and an impala.

me just a Range Rover and a few others.

other side have ram 1500 and some loud fecking lambo thing and a few others….

In the estate…..lots and lots of expensive cars…..but speed limit is 45mph :)

AMKC

One of my neighbours a Woman at that has a mighty fine Mazda MX5 another has a huge big Ford Ranger. Another has the ugly square eyed Mercedes E class as well as a Mercedes Coupe and a Leaf.

I would take the MX5 on a fine day or the Ranger on a miserable day.

ILikeBoats

I'd go with my own Golf R, nothing too exciting otherwise.

There is a nice e-tron 50 and 740 around the corner

Been a year and a half so bump it up

We don't need road names 😂

Standards on my road are pretty low, but there is a nice CLS beside me that sometimes makes me think - but I'd want the 3L variant rather than the 2.1 their one is.
