Think my new neighbour is selling cars from his drive. Can he do this?

    Thank you. I tend to agree. I want nothing to do with it so am trying to keep a low profile and just go about my usual day. Anyway, every time one of us comes out or goes into our house and it's mainly him who is out doing something to one of the latest cars he jumps up, rushes inside until we are gone then comes back out. But, then again it isn't just when he is sorting the cars. On Thursday we were going out for the evening and he was outside doing something with the doorstep and didn't notice us until l said something to my OH, (nothing about the neighbour - think it was about the time or something trivial). In fact l hadn't seen him as l was locking the door but  spoke as l turned around, so just caught sight of him as he looked round, saw us, jumped up and almost ran inside and didn't come back out until we had crossed the road. 
    Bless - he's shy.

    Do you know if any other neighbours have noticed what's going on, or have expressed concern? If you can coordinate a simultaneous complaint to the council, it should help take the weight of all.

    Nice weather at the moment, I'd take a deckchair out and sit on the drive in the sun with a book (sunhat probably advised as well) while he has people round looking at the car.

    Or just have a bucket and sponge ready for when a prospective buyer comes, and go out to wash your car while the "customer" is there...  ;)
