One of the best things about being a Lambrettista is that you are always learning… I’ve never even heard of a “Lambretta Willam Microcar” before, but there’s one for sale on eBay…

Apparently Monseuir Willam was president of Lambretta France in the late 1960’s and he created  microcars from 1967-72. Powered by a 125cc Lambretta engine, it’s not going to be beating any Ferrari’s away from the lights, but it’s kinda cute in a “Postman Pat” way. Somebody else has obviously made that link too… check out the (non legal, I’m assuming) numberplate.
Check it out on eBay here.

From the “in case you missed it” department, a classic bit of advertising from Lucozade. Nicely done. 

Thanks to my mate Tony for reminding me about this one.

Japanese engineers unbelievably fix earthquake road

Six days after the earthquake and Tsunami hit Japan, construction crews started to repair this stretch of the Great Kanto Highway, in Naka, Japan.
Six days after they started, the road looked like new. MONTHS after a bit of ice and snow in the UK, I’m still coming round corners and hitting bloody big potholes.
And when you’re on two wheels, it’s more than a minor inconvenience or a suspension repair. It’s ‘kin SCARY. I know there’s a credit crunch, but if we’re going to get the country moving again we need decent roads!
