So I got my Christmas bonus from my boss today, $400! I consider it a gift (and I think all people who get bonuses...boni? whatever...should.). Because of that, I plan to use it on something frivolous, like a Lambretta! Yay.
I've also found a gent who owns a shop called Scooters Bellissimo. Take a second to check out his site, and look at the link called "Wildcat". ME-OW.
Anyways, he has a bridge piece for me that is currently in transit. Hopefully it will be here soon!
Slowly things are coming together. :)
A simple blog about my attempt to learn more about scooters through working on a Lambretta Series 2 TV 175. Like all good blogs, it runs bottom to top.

Lambrettamas part 3!
Today is a day full of yay. Here's why: I came into some Christmas money, all of which I plan on spending on the Lammy. I also had two LCUSA members contact me today, one has a potential bridge piece and the other has a -cues drumroll- A POTENTIAL HORNCAST. That would mean I would have all the body pieces, except for trim and lights and stuff.
Lambrettamas part 3 has come. Sweet.

Not a lot goin' on.
So the blog has been dead, I know... Not a lot has really been going on with the lammy, though. I'm still searching high and low for a horncast. There seem to be some half decent repros out there, but of course I would much prefer something original. There is still the one in Italy on eBay, but I'm just not sure it's worth what the final price with shipping would be.
I did get my headset bottom from the gent in Oregon. It looks really good... it doesn't *quite* match up with the top perfectly...I'm not sure how big a deal that's going to be. I seem to remember this being a common theme, though. I like to keep faith that everything will work out somehow eventually. :D
The people on the LCUSA forums are super friendly though, so that's a plus.
Nothing much else goin' on...
