Actually those are the other two cars I referenced above (barely visible in
the background in the garage) - my other Fiat 500L (white), and my red
Innocenti Mini Cooper.  The back of my Westy is also in one of the pics, and
not shown are my '76 Fiat 124 Spider, my '78 VW Crew Cab, and my wife's '99
Beetle.  Not surprisingly, I catch some flack from my wife for having too
many cars.  My defense is that most of them are so small that combined, they
actually take up less space than a single normal-sized car  :-)  Evon calls
them my "clown cars" and says I should wear big floppy shoes and a red nose
when I drive them.
