Looked like a nice morning. For the cars, I can't figure out the last three. Which Alfa is that? For the black convertible: Intermeccanica? And which Honda is that? Looks tiny -- especially with the trucks, but even without the trucks.

1.) The Alfa is not a US model. First off, it's right-hand drive. Secondly, it has an embassy staff plate. (I looked it up, and do not find what country is assigned 'MG'...) The badge on the right-rear says GTA. (I love shooting brakes!) 2.) Good guess! Intermeccanica Italia, with a Ford 351 V8. A beautiful, simple shape. 3.) Honda Beat hardtop. One odd detail on this cute little car -- the rear wheels are staggered -- one is a couple of inches further rearward than the other. I have been interested in Kei cars for a while - Japanese home-market cars, made extra-small for urban parking. I especially like the Autozam AZ-1, a mid-engine, gull-winged Mazda product. Currently, Debbie and I are maximizing our 2-car garage space, since we can fit her Smart behind our Seven, with the Elise on the other side. When her Smart expires, we will need to find a way to make everything fit. Unfortunately, even tiny Japanese Kei cars are about 1.5ft too long! --Bob Collum
