An Object of My Affection

I suppose I've wanted an aqua colored Vespa for quite a few years now. I'm not sure, in a city of 5 million, exactly where I would drive it, as the traffic can be ridiculous here. But still, I've always thought that was just what I wanted.

Until I found this little beauty made by Italian artist Carlos Alberto. Apparently his use of old world techniques and amazing attention to detail to construct it makes it one of my current objects of affection. *sigh* It is an outstanding functional piece of art, in my mind.
