In my carpark now are:

My car
The '07 Audi TT that was there before, no idea on the engine though.
Sometimes there's a Alpina B30 (I think that's model) convertible
An Audi S3 which I *think* has just been replaced by a Merc C250CDi (which I presume is pretty nippy)

And there's T16Dave's Rover 45 which is dented on most panels, rusted as a result, covered in bird crap and is very loud in a bad way as he's running it on used engine oil and chip fat... sounds properly horrible and really stinks.

That's a well-paid bunch of teachers...
Should've made it clearer, that's the parents, not the teachers. The Continental belongs to some self made business man and the DB7's owned by a Lotto winner.

The teacher's all drive boring, bland, forgetable cars, though one of them's got quite a tidy Mk 2 200 on a K plate, no visible tin worm on the arches, so it must be reasonably well cared for.

Doesn't sound horrible any more, doesn't sound like someone is trying to drive a tractor into the warehouse when he comes to work now... but still has the dents and smells of chips...
