Gang Girls video

Great vid by Vintage Hair Lounge shot on the streets of Southampton, featuring local scooter clubs, classic cars and burlesque performers! The song is a rather good version of Bang Bang by Miss Annie. Found Via Zeno’s Scooters website… a recently established up Lambretta and Vespa specialist also down Southampton way.

Great period promo film for the Lambretta LD

Starbucks Ad

Lovely ad for Starbuck Dark Italian Roast coffee… more of an ad for riding a classic scoot though really. Nicely done. 

Found via the  Basque Radical Mods blog

A Love Song to the Lambretta

Unfortunately my Italian is limited to Ciao, espresso and tagliattelle, because I’s love to know what these guys are singing about. One thing that comes across is it is a musical tribute to the worlds finest motor scooter! 
Any Italian speakers want to send me a translation of the lyric?

Lambretta Club de’España – Jet Set Rally 2011 in Marbella

Some lovely Spanish Lambretta’s at this rally on the Costa del Sol.

Lambretta LN… at least it’s not a Pato!

The kindest way to describe the Lambretta LN’s reception in the UK is to say it has been mixed. A lot of people, mainly those of us with ‘proper’ Lambretta scooters simply don’t like it.

Well, here’s the good news… at least it’s not a Pato… the “Lambretta” they have had to put up with in the states for the last couple of years.

Back in Vogue

Mod photoshoot Video for Italian Vogue. All the credits are at the end of the video, apart from, strangely, the music. Which is by The Eyes… I’m rowed out.

Get into the right gear! Shame you can’t still get those deerstalker helmets!

Scooters at the Peterson Automotive Museum

There’s some beautiful scooters over at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, where alongside the Americana, historic vehicles and supercars they are running a special Scooters Exhibit until May next year. Here’s a video of what you can expect to see if you go.

There’s a lot here that fits into my own person category of “oddball”, which basically means anything that isn’t a Lambretta or V*spa… please note that is not a derogatory term, I would love to own a Moto Rumi for example… I’m even starting to see the charm of those Cushmans and Salisburys these days!
If you’re in the LA locale, it’s worth a visit.

Video, and heads up from JohnnyScoots

In Italian, but hey that just adds to the authenticity, right?
