You said whilst going "as fast as you can" in 3rd, change down to second. This will NOT make you accelerate dramatically!

Drive down again, this time take a video camera with you and show us all. Don't forget the bread loaf.
Posh area my foot...
Sounds like nouveau riche paradise. That behaviour is tasteless and classless and reeks of the Sun reading, Marbella going, got-rich-like, new money that can be seen on Danny Dyer Essex gangster films.
If it's a private estate however, you shouldn't really be driving round there in the dead of night as I imagine the residents are wary of burglars who drive round in the manner that you did. In spite of this you could have just gone in the day time.
Worst we're getting a new 'posh' house thread ever.
Leave the house hunting to your parents, or go with them.... or even just don't go in the middle of the night.

My thoughts, sounds like a lovely area where a neighbour has a lawn full of 205s and comes steaming after people who dare drive up the road at night.
What if it was a friend dropping someone off, what if you actually wanted to check a house out before buying it, you'd want to go see it, and the road a few times.
Obviously we've not been given the full story but still.
But most importantly it is in Plymouth, this should be enough of a reason not to buy it.
(I don't mean that really, well, just a little bit
)You have been given the full story. I stopped when he blatently wanted me to, and he just stared at me, was weird.
You cant spend £600k in cash on a house without knowing things like how noisy the area is at night, for all we know some houses could be owned by rich 20 year olds and throw parties every night, you cant gauge these things by looking on google maps.

Silly thing to be going into a private estate at that time of night, but on the same token I feel that the X5 chap over reacted slightly, for all he knew you could have actually been two dangerous 'youths' so I find his behaviour a little extreme tbh.

Two lads sat in a scruffy Passat looking at houses.
How about you think about what yourselves would look like which would be BURGLARS.
I reckon you were trying to stalk Fox. Doesn't he live down a road like that?

Looking at the house in your first link then it will be this house...
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...7406,-4.086531&spn=0.000642,0.001742&t=h&z=20
It has the same dormer windows, patio arrangement and footprint as the house in the photos.
I'm also surprised that's the most threatened you've ever been considering you live in Plymouth

It'll make the engine scream its *******s off but it won't make it go any quicker.
Do you even understand how gears work?

Overreaction on the X5 guy's part, but what the hell are you doing driving round in private roads with mates after midnight? You don't think that looks a little odd, or that you're up to something other than checking noise levels before buying?
Oh, and why did you mention it's £600k in cash? What difference does that make?
Or was it just to brag?

I'd just leave it. He's talking **** as usual.
+1, I'm sure twoblacklines can sort this out.
After all he has been in more fights than we have had hot dinners.
Any excuse to have a go at my car eh.
No idea where fox lives. Dont care either.
