(Sorry for the double post):


Live near Aberdeen Road in Bristol (girlfriend lives there), and in the last few months have seen parked outside a house there:

'80s 911 SC
Lotus Elan M100 (last night)
A Weird Ginetta thing
8-series BMW
H-reg TVR (that average looking one)
and others I can't remember


Each is there a few days, and that's it, apart from the TVR.

I get the feeling there might be some pistonheaders living there, even if they don't know it....

Glen - yes I think I am, 5 minutes to the Berkeley for me!

pdV6 - where do you work, Zurich? Don't remember seeing many other PH-esque cars parked around this area, except the usual SLs etc outside bars...

Given that its 1 hour parking on Whiteladies and the council seems very keen on towing (in lieu of the failed parking permits scam, er I mean, scheme) the nice cars outside bars are usually there 'cos their owners are sat in the bars keeping an eye on them! Mine (see profile) is usually tucked away on a side street somewhere...

In the last few days there's been:

Mas 3200 GT
Yellow/black wheels Cerbera
Grey Chimaera

These guys are seriously up to some kind of gone-in-60-seconds style racket...

'95 Esprit S4
C36 AMG
Ferrari 328

These people must be having fun..

'my' room now directly overlooks their driveway and I can't help noticing all these cars. Where are they coming from?!! Is there some performance car garage near Bristol?

Just a thought but perhaps they're a member of the Classic Car Club or something similar? Are they any common stickers in the windows?
