The same everywhere, Mister Towed (I love the automotive moniker, and wonder if its intent is to recall Grahame's The Wind In The Willows or Milne's Toad of Toad Hall?), since the day that Eve said to Adam, "put down that vile spanner and have a bite of this apple." You can, if you've a mind to, count six bays here:

and if one accidentally leaves the lights burning in several buildings at once, one's whereabouts can never be easily guessed. If one "forgets" to carry one's mobile out into the garage, the barn, the shop, the carriage house, or the woods, why... it's almost as if one were wearing pool old Bilbo's Ring.
By the way, I likewise love your resurrection of Alberto Ascari's Lancia D24, and have wondered often - if I don't seem to be prying - why you chose silver over red? The red ones go faster, you know....
