Best car on your road

passatman86 · 01-12-2021 10:56pm #1

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 · 01-12-2021 11:46pm

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

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.

silver_sky · 02-12-2021 12:18am

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.

Atlantic Dawn · 02-12-2021 2:21am

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.

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

viewer · 02-12-2021 9:19am

A green Porsche taycan.

L1011 · 02-12-2021 9:27am

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

passatman86 · 02-12-2021 9:41am

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

ec_pc · 02-12-2021 9:19pm

212 Porsche 911

Ljmscooter · 02-12-2021 9:33pm

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

Larbre34 · 02-12-2021 9:47pm

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

Montage of Feck · 02-12-2021 10:11pm

Ford Fiesta

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

micah537 · 03-12-2021 8:46pm

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 · 03-12-2021 9:28pm

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 · 03-12-2021 9:40pm

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 · 03-12-2021 9:42pm

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

Larbre34 · 03-12-2021 10:08pm

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 · 04-12-2021 11:50am

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.

Best car on your road
