Very nice Steve...
You must have some free time on your hands to be starting these threads
I actually find the houses interesting to look at (though that yellow house next door is not so aesthetic, to my eyes) - interesting because in New Zealand we live mostly in single-level dwellings. Some people here (usually on a hill) have a house with two levels, but houses over there appear to be three or more storey - with external steps, so you must have a lot of space inside.
I like the patriotic flying of flags too - don't know why people never do that here. And that's an interesting lantern with a 'barber pole' - hard to miss that when reversing?
The silver 164 is especially elegant, isn't it. The lower body colour co-ordinates really well with the silver, and also I notice it's quite a warm silver, not the usual blue-ish silver of other executive cars.
