I noticed that too. Can't be his car. Not much Texas about Mark. It also looks like a Chrysler Jeep. Don't think he drives American cars :)

But a BMW motorcycle? Had expeceted something a bit more vintage, or at least soulful, from Mark.

Hasn't MK been driving BMW as a daily beater in the past years? Anyhow I assume that he has a substantial collection of vintage cars as well, sometimes one could get the impression that there is (or was?) a Porsche 356, Ferrari 275GTB, Maserati 300S, AC Ace, Austin Healey 100S  and an Invicta low chassis.

There is a documentary about his collection at  youtube:

Maybe, I thought the motorbike was from the interviewer by something I read, cant remember what.

And yes, that looks like the back garden. I heard that where Mk lives has a private garden behind every house and a private path to come in and out with the cars (so no need of parking at the streets).
You might get lucky, now and then

Unfortunately I don't have the video, but in 2009 MK appeared on a car show called "auto mobil" (this thread: http://www.amarkintime.org/forum/index.php/topic,693.msg17182.html#msg17182), and I remember him complaining that he could get only one parking permission for on-street parking at his London home. It's a pity that the video isn't there anymore, guess it was filmed during the corporate presentation of the (hideous) Porsche Panamera, he was talking about his Porsche 356, driving it on a track and afterwards driving that ugly new car.

Yeah, sorry - in my memory there was more talk about his cars, but it's a nice film anyway and a good reason to postpone meetings and all the other work ;-)
