Re getting down low to photograph the Bianchina:
I tried that at first and it just did not work. It is a very small car and low photos make it look smaller and fatter!
I have an Italian book on Bianchina and note that all the photos are taken from higher up. Works for me!
Re the jazz piano on my YouTube video:
I love jazz piano and the very best artist in that field is Beegie Adair......check her out!

Oh, and re a better background....I fully agree.
There is a reason for everything......the Bianchina has some engine oil leaks that I have to fix before I can move it from my driveway!

With Italian and British cars, when it stops leaking, you have a problem.

Yes indeed!
They should forget about the Keestone oil pipeline....just come to my driveway.....after many years of restoring British cars there is more oil there!

Peter...did anybody tell you that you could be the reincarnation of Byron Nelson? You should show up at the golf tournament dressed like him and go out to the range as the golfers are hitting balls.

I was a golfer and would have loved to have played like Byron Nelson. I was a slicer, but I got all that cured by getting RA........stopped me playing!

I've read a bit about Byron Nelson's ability. He was no slouch. He could hit an iron with pinpoint accuracy. I cured my slice by reading The Inside Path to Better Golf by Peter Kostis. I even picked up a slight draw. The exercises in the book were the key. Sorry to hear about your RA. I had bi-lateral carpal tunnel and after surgery had trouble closing my hands for a long time, and had pain. That killed my grip. I think I could try it again now, though.

For the last 4 years I have been restoring a 1960 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformable. It is just about ready to show at the Lakewood "Wooden Keels and Classic Wheels" show in May.
Here are the photos I took today for the show Program book.

Awesome restoration!!!!
