mines outside at the moment, but its on the drive. we only have one parking space, so one gets to go in the garage and the other on the drive.

all mine & Sassy's cossies used to live on the street, the main 4x4 saff lived out there for 2 years, we then had both 4x4's out there, then a 4x4 & a 2wd, then a 4x4 & a 3 door, then at one point we had the 4x4, the 3 door & the escos all on the road!!
Left the fiesta there for a couple of nights & some fooker smashed into it

to be honest i dont think i would have bought a cossie if i had to leave it on the street, every night you went to bed it would be a lottery of what you would wake up to in the morning

It's not always the local chav's you have to worry about it's the people from outside the area looking for cossie's

Yeah very true but the are also good for keeping an eye out on it for you...dont get me wrong i do live in a private cul de sac but in some people case you dont have a choice were to put it....but Sassy you can have a car outside if you live in a nice area, although if i didnt have a garage at my house there is no way i would leave at somewhere away from if as its even easier to come back at 3am and do it when there is no light etc, at least on th street you have a bit of protection dont ya????

i used to park my saff on the street sometimes - never had a problem. alarm/immob didn't work so all it had was the ford door locks keeping it safe
