We’re so sick of millionaire neighbour over his man cave we want to key his cars – he’s making our lives miserable
A MILLIONAIRE has sparked neighbours' fury after parking his fleet of classic cars in a residential street when he was ordered to tear down "Britain's best man cave" .
Locals living in the same road as Graham Wildin, 69, say they're tempted to key the luxury vehicles as the feud heats up.
The pensioner has faced a lengthy legal battle over the 10,000sq ft leisure complex at the back of his home.
He has been told the complex, which contains a cinema, squash court and a bowling alley, is illegal and must be demolished.
But instead of tearing it down as ordered, Mr Wildin has allegedly protected it by building a fortress around the building in Cinderford, Gloucestershire.
Now he's moved his cars onto the street - and he's allegedly told his neighbours he has "50 years of free parking" to catch up on.

Mr Wildin had previously stored his collection of around 20 prestige cars, including vintage Bentleys, Porsches and a bright yellow Jensen Healey, in garages on his property.
But as the row over his complex rages on, he's moved most into the narrow residential street - apparently to annoy neighbours into complaining.
And if that's his intention, it's certainly working.
Locals believe he wants them to bombard Forest of Dean District Council with complaints so they'll backtrack on their order to tear down the complex, which was built without planning permission in 2014.

Mr Wildin began parking the top-end collectible cars on the street in the New Year.
A visit to the road yesterday appears to show they've been parked all the way down the little street outside houses.
One neighbour said: "I'd consider running a key down his paintwork, but he's got CCTV cameras pointing at almost every house in the neighbourhood."
They accused Mr Wildin of behaving like a "bully".
Another said the protective silver covers used to protect the vehicles' bodywork rustles in the wind, keeping them awake at night.
"The covers make a hell of a racket in the slightest breeze," they said.
"He's parked one of his cars right outside our bedroom. When the cover gets any wind on it, it's impossible to sleep."
It's alleged Mr Wildin told locals he'd leave his cars in the road to "teach the sodding council a lesson".
And it's claimed he has protected his whopping man cave by buying land to the front and side of it and transferring it to a company owned by members of his family.
Many of us are elderly and just want to enjoy our retirements in peace... he's making our lives a misery
It's understood relatives or neighbours would now have to give permission for the bulldozers to pass over their land to reach his man cave to forcibly take it down.
One local said: "He's a slippery, crafty sod."
Tom Worley, 77, a retired lorry driver, told The Sun: "Wildin told my wife that if she couldn't get her car through the gap between his cars, she shouldn't be driving."
He said locals are distressed at the ongoing row.
"It's making everyone in the area completely stressed out," he said.
