Vespa World Days/Euro Lambretta – A tour of Hungary and Poland: Part 2 | FEATURE
In part one of this road trip, Shaun slept rough in a barn, also in a car wash and he camped outside a scooter shop whilst waiting for some carb parts for the brand new Casa Touring engine he was running in across Europe. Meanwhile, Wookie broke his Lambretta and jumped on a hastily […]
Shed built 536cc Lambretta streamliner – part 1 | FEATURE
When I first received a video of what looks like the basis for a Lambretta streamliner I was intrigued. This wasn’t built by some big budget heavily sponsored scooter business flexing their corporate muscles, this was a 12ft long shed built sparkling silver dream racer. I’m always surprised at the lengths some people […]
Vespa World Days/Euro Lambretta – A tour of Hungary and Poland: Part 1 | FEATURE

Part 1: Nosferatu – 1980s classic recreated on a budget | FEATURE
Much like Col’s recent recollection of 90s scootering, I too started scootering in the 1980s. I’d be building scooters in the back garden with school chums. We’d experiment with paint by blowing global flake onto brush painted furniture lacquer – and creating some kind of coloured sandpaper effect worthy of a death […]
