The plan is to sell the car that's for sale, my bike should be going in the next week or so and then 1 of the cars will go in the garage to be worked on thus solving all problems (apart from the problem of my Skyline grinding it's nose on it's way up the drive )

I think a few people on this thread are failing to realise that this is a temporary problem. I parked there for about 3 weeks in November and started parking there again a couple of weeks ago.

Wait until I build a dyno cell in my garage. That'll really wind them up

That is infact a rather good description of me.

Well so was yours, but that wasn't the point

I am a bit like the OP I must admit. When people knock on my door with an attitude or tell me to do something rather than ask me it makes me defiant. He's parking outside his own house ffs. A mate of mines neighbor bought a metro that never moved and used to park it outside his own house just so nobody else could park there.

I think your neighbours need to relax a bit.

Parking round here is a nightmare - it's a new estate and Government guidlines limit the number of private parking places for each house. The result is that pretty much everyone parks at least one car on the road. This does create a bit of a slalom course at times, but people shouldn't be tearing round corners on a housing estate anyway.

Provided there's enough room for a fire engine or ambulance to get through, I don't really have a problem...... People have to park their cars in different places from time to time, for example if people are visiting, or if you are in the process of acquiring / selling a car. I don't loose any sleep over it.

Ahh, good old parking disputes, my dad had a wonderful one of those.

It's a road kind of similar to the OPs only he lives in the round bit and there is a longer approach road, and his driveway only has room for 3 cars, fortunately they only had 3 cars, my dad's car, my stepmums car and his works Transit.

So, when my stepmum was working lates, he'd park the Transit on the road in a perfectly legal space that wasn't outside any particular house (it was next to a hedge that obscured a public footpath) until my stepmum got home an hour or so later, and then he'd block my stepmum's car in with his van on the driveway since he was out at 8AM every morning.

Apparently his next door neighbour took offence to this, both her cars (she lived alone) were on her drive way and that space was for HER visitors (which seemed to be one car at a time, each driven by a different bloke, for an hour or so in repeated succession over the course of a Saturday night) so he shouldn't park his van there (and I shouldn't park my car there etc. etc.), he originally began trying to explain the situation, but eventually ended up getting fed up and told her to get stuffed. She responded by giving them hassle over his planning application to build a double garage (giving him capacity for 5 cars, and solving the problem, duh!)

Eventually this dispute culminated in her buying some tiny ancient clapped out shed that could just about squeeze on her driveway behind the two BMWs but instead was kept in the disputed space.
Apparently someone else in the street hated her, because when he got home from work, she popped around and was all "ha! how do you like that then" only for her to notice the big red sticker the council had put on it for the car having no tax. My dad found it rather hard to keep a straight face and thus got the blame for that one for a long time until finally the stupid bitch moved out.

I only saw her once, but put it this way, you'd have to pay me to **** her, not the other way around.

Maybe the parking space was reserved for Wayne Rooney?
