Try to find the lowest point (where water settles) of your driveway - Use a basket ball when/where it stops rolling marks the spot. looks to me like the white circle on the asphalt.
Start at the lowest point dig a hole about 2' deep & 6" wide then a gutter/trench with gradual downward slope 1" for every 6' all the way to the outlet at the side of the house.
Use 4" PVC pipe(easier to work with than cast iron). run about a 2' peice straight down into the hole then an 90 degree elbow then length of pipe all the way to the outlet in the side of the house.
Test it by pouring water into the pipe and checking to see that it runs freely out the exit at side of the house. Get a 9"x9"x3" no hub bell trap in cast iron (plumbing dept near access panels at Home depot) to fit into the extruding pipe make sure it has a flap to open for cleaning out muk build up and a ledge to trap gravel & dirt (muk) from getting into the pipe (clean out regularly) try to fit it flush with the asphalt so water flows into pipe undisturbed.
Fill hole with dirt, asphalt sealer & roll until flush with rest of surrounding asphalt.
As a precaution or back up you can aslo install a saddle/threshhold kit for you garage 1 peice fits on the floor across the entrance and the other gets attached to the bottom of the garage door. It provides a water & air tight seal for your garage so you can comforably work on you VX in the comfort of you garage without freezing your ***** off.
Too bad don't live nearby, easier done/shown than written/typed.
