Cool road names

#1

Post by XJ Junkie »

I drove through an area earlier & noticed that all the street names were named after some well known & historic car brands

Apparently there was initially a street named after Toyota, but the street signs kept getting stolen.

It’s there Neil, it’s just the most boring street in the country so they don’t put it on the map.

Amazingly the houses have high resale value despite being rubbish , and none of them ever need any maintenance .

Wrangler street is very quiet.
Nothing has sold there in years.
It only has 5 houses.
One is occupied Cecil a Pilates instructor.
One is the B&B run by David and his very special friend Pieter.
The other is a hairdresser called Michael who has a man bun and likes kale.
Then there is the guy with an XJ used as a Chicken Coop parked in the back yard.
The last house we are not sure - he still needs to come out...

Such a list would be much much longer than that. I could probably list well over 100 just on American, British & European brands that no longer exist.
