I bought a 1967 Vespa Sprint on eBay in 2005. I picked it up from a nice lad in the Midlands, brought it home to Cheshire in the back of a van, tweaked it through its MOT and ran it without a problem for a couple of years. Then one genius day, I decided to restore it. Three years in, the bluesmoke is as thick as ever and my un-restored scooter is driving me batshit.

Why am I telling you all this? Well, I am hoping that the discipline of posting photos of my Scooter resoration project to Blipfoto every day will inspire me get on with it and get my vintage Vespa back on the road where it belongs.
