You can also set up a web gallery through something like Picasa or Image Shack and link a photo from there.
Hope this helps,
Don

Yes it IS Italian... but its just a joke...... the car is a 1973 GTV... but "di Giorgio" means "belongiong to George" in Italian.... and since my name is George and I lived in Italy for 3 years ...I thought i'd give it a bit of an exotic sounding moniker.....which sort of goes with the bright fusia color.
I'll tell you a funny story. When I lived in Italy, I actually went to buy the car at the factory in milano...but because I needed the USA specs, they required that I order it by telex (remember this was back in 1972) from their USA office in New York. After arranging for payment I then had to pick it up outside Italy...otherwise I'd get stuck for a hoard of italian taxes...so they shipped the car to their distributin center in Frankfurt, Germany where I ended up picking it up and driving around Europe (with a baby in the back seat) for a month or so....such that when I had it shipped to San Francisco from Amsterdam, it was classified as a "used" car...thus getting me out of addtional taxes, etc.
In fact I drove it around California for a full year on the German Tourist license plates before I had to eventually register it in Calif....... by that time I had collected so many unpaid parking tickets that the meter maids threatened to have me towed away unless I got California plates...... I guess I was too used to living by the loose laws of life in Italia.
My Alfa Romeo di Giorgio currently has 216,000 miles on it and still runs strong...all it seems to need is gas and oil. As a consolation to comfort and safety, i have had all teh bushings and suspension redone....other than that everything else is pretty much original.
I really wish I could have brought back the Fiat 500 that I drove for the 3 years I lived in Italy....now THAT would be a unique car to have in California today....great mileage...but needless to say could not meet ANY of the safety requirtements of the state of California.
By the way, do you have any neat photos of your Bertone?
Giorgio

Capt. Paco; that is a great story!
I am looking forward to getting into my 'new' Alfasud, which I have purchased from it's first owner a month ago. Being 16,000 km. away from your Alfa is nothing I recommend 
I also intend to bring it our on the roads of Europe this year (going to England with my cousin) and I hope one day to have a story like Paco's to tell about my little car
