Only moved in in august, get on extreamly well with my neighbour. Like we have lived there for years.
The garage was supposed to have been replaced with a 4x7m one by now... But I have been lax in getting my builder down to check the site...

Yes moved, but to Stanwix. Taken 9 years to be where we wanted. I was driving home from wigton on Sunday, ended up heading towords Botchergate when this little voice piped up from the back.. "Wrong way Daddy, we live that way!" It says something when a 3.5yr old knows the way home and you have forgotten!!

My neighbor across the road does not mind the cars either.. He has the little white Clio, a Clio that he got for £50 with a blown lump ( it's moved knowhere in at least 3 months... ) a MGBGT and a Cav MK1 in the garage that he's had for 18 years but has not been out in a long time!

Nice collection of motors you have - was thinking only the other day about Sierras and Sapphires - once a very common sight on our roads but now sadly quite rare in such a short space of time. Hope to get my XR4I running again in the spring.

Star sign is Scorpio !
Sierra XR4i's are great...especially when fitted with 4WD

my mate got a sierra in his breakers yard a few months ago. It was a K reg ghia in the light green metallic and it was absolutely immaculate except the engine had gone bang. I was thinking about taking it off him but he flattened it before i got chance to ask!

That's a shame, they still make fun runabouts. Engine is a doddle to change on them... Or plonk in a 24V inand they fly

Mmmm 412, One of my fave Ferraris. 308 and early 512's too... Not so keen on any of the rest of them...
As I say, I get on very well with my neighbour, in fact she even said we can put the wifes MK1 golf on her drive whilst it's not in use... And we used her drive as overflow parking when we had a houswarming a few weeks ago...

Im jelous m8.My neighbours are Ar*****es.In may i did a coolent change on my old scorpio & accidently spilt a drop (about a cup full).Immediatly i cover it up with a cat litter/washing powder combo & cleaned it away.Two days later i get an envoiroment officer knocking on my door giving me a £80 fine.The neighbour said i was pouring it down the storm drain  .The best bit is though,when there alcoholic kids (33 + 29 y/o),come home ,vomitting everywhere ,shouting abuse,fighting & playing music till 5am ,im the awquard neighbour for "grassing" them to the authorities.  Enjoy your neighbours m8.(you lucky bu**er)
