I'm thoroughly in awe of your creation Steff.

It makes those 'horrible custom chopper things look like the Meccano sets they are.

I took the liberty of editing your post (I have magic powers) so that people can be gobsmacked immediately, rather than having only those nasty little link things.

I stand corrected, though I am now blind with a horrible red after image burned onto my retina.

The humanity!

[skidMark]

holy crap thats one hell of a paintjob.

[MisterD]

Thanks for that Steff....all this engraving has got to stop though, us ex-pats cop sooo much crap from the natives about it!

I expect we'll be seeing a feature on that in Scootering at some point, about two months after it hits the shelves back home.

Here's another IoW related photo (borrowed from the LCGB site), the ferry on the way over

Love that paint job. And I suppose the war veteran's photos are family members. Very nice touch.

Erm Steff...don't want to come across all trainspotter on you, but GP production ran from '69 to '71...

[ManDownUnder]

I'm not a scooter fan myself - but credit where it's due... that's absolutely brilliant!

Hey MisterD,

The engraving is still going strong but at least the they have stopped chopping the Scoots down *Phew* that is sacralige - OK it's fine on Vespa's but not on Lammy's :o)

This Scoot was profiled in June's edition of Scootering.

Yep your right, my mistake I podged the wrong key - it is a '69 Lammy (Completely Italian - apart from a little peice of the engine casing where my chain went through - so had to bastardise an old Indian one :) )

[Gareth123]

OH MY GOD!!! I think i just got a hard on for this scooter!
