Never had an issue parking on the street and I have a pretty expensive car.
I've been and gone now so it was all good - report to follow - it was a putrid coloured Conti GT with bin lids for wheels. I've named it the Austin Tacious. My own car is *considerably* cheaper, and slightly less like an aircraft carrier. I have to say that in hindsight, I wouldn't have been worried - Streetview can make places look worse if you want it to, but it felt quite pleasant when I got there.
Report to follow at some point, not that Sofia needs it. But a very pleasant afternoon with the mother of all tit wanks.
Thanks to everyone's input as I wouldn't have known about her otherwise.
