Don't even get me started on how much I don't get along with any of my neighbours.

[davej]

My nieghbours have never moaned at me even though the one`s at the top of the road I don`t get on with. My daily driver isn`t exactly quiet and I go to work at 5.30am but nobody has ever said anything. When I`m grinding on the mini I close the garage door to keep some of the noise in, once the mini is up and running it may be a different story

I hate Neighbours too.

Well just tell him that at his age he should be ashamed of recommending German cars.

Surely he's old enough to have remembered WW2?

Either way the New BEETLE uses good old Mini technology. i.e. a transverse mounted engine up front driving the front wheels.

I live on a small estate that is mostley inhabited by people fifty and over.I was dreading moving in a little we have 3 kids as well as my cars and thought we might shatter the peace a touch.

Coulsnt have been more wrong,they all think the kids are great and they always ask what im on with when im in the garage.I do a few noisy jobs in there as well and they never bat an eyelid.Even when my 4x4 is left out on the street occasionally and drops mud all over the place after its been offroad they are ok about it.

Only brought my latest mini back to the house today though so time will tell how they react to that lol.

[rozzer!]

i havnt had 1 complaint from my neighbours, well, there is an old git who threatens to call the police if i have a car backed out of the garage in the alley, but as its a private road there isn't anything he can do! plus the alley has multiple entrances and exits! havn't seen him in a while! he was rather old! my other neighbours ask how i am getting on, and what my plans are, or occasionally ask how i have broken it again!

[nurseholliday]

My neighbours are awesome, mostly because I hardly have any

On the left I have a family with 4 kids, on the right I have no-one because the house has been bought but is being very slowly renovated. Across the road they knocked down 3 gorgeous Georgian detached houses with massive gardens to build a cul-de-sac (bastards!), but the developers have serious cash shortages so it has been a leveled building site for the past year.

The kids next door refer to my car as the "loud, cute one, that makes fire sometimes and sometimes it bounces when it goes over the speedbumps and we like it."

At uni I live next to students and two elderly brothers who both own Harleys so it doesn't matter how loud my Mini is because their motorbikes are always louder.

I live in a terraced house with the typical parking issues, but always my neighbours leave the space outside my house empty for the mini I always get get compliments on it from them, even during carb set up

[biggles]

My neighbours are cool. I can pretty much get away with anything as the old lady next doors loves the fact I play with all sorts of old cars, though I think we got a bit close to the line when we put a straight pipe off the down pipe of my brother's old mini. The neighbour at the other side isn't worried so long as I be nice in return and not make too much noise when the footy is on the telly.

His son however can be a bit of a muppet and was treated to a barely silenced Rover V8 getting a tuning session after he started getting mouthy one weekend about the noise.... after he had been playing dance music all morning at stadium levels.
