List - here is the article and accompanying photos. It's another
discouraging situation where neighbors are deciding what a private person
may or may not park in their own driveway. Here some neighbor decided that
they didn't like his Saracen and Ferret in the driveway, never mind that
he's donated their use for various charitable events. Read for yourselvs and
weep....
