Whole family in driveway today
Just happened to have all 5 of our 164's in driveway along with our truck and SUV as daughter and bride were over with their 164 and SUV. All seven of our vehicles in driveway is a rare event even if only 5 are daily drivers.
Non-Quik Silver got her gas tank installed and tested today and radiator flushed so had her out of garage to flush radiator.
Had to rob gas filler recall set up from Old Nero as Non-QS still had original filler neck even though I had replaced bad clamp on it before when you have spare parts why not use them.
I will post pictures later.

What I find intriguing is the SIZE of the driveway - makes the 164s look like small cars! 
Generally when the 164 is on my driveway, there's just room to squeeze another big car beside it.
In England on the other hand, a couple of small hatchbacks generally fill the driveway space.

Now you know why I bought a driveway with house and garage attached. My friend installed that driveway years ago. When he bought the house it had a normal narrow two car wide driveway. He had 4 teenage kids who drove as did he and his wife. Now if only the garage was bigger as it gets pretty full will two Alfa 164's in it and all their spare parts.
I bought the house when he retired and moved out of town.
We bought house one week before a major hurricane in 2003 and had to evacuate to it from our beach house so had some friends move in too for storm and we had 10 cars in driveway. We had over a week without power but we had friends to visit with anyway so "camping" out and cooking on the barbee in the backyard not to bad.
