Although there isn't any snow yet, it is still damn cold. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to start writing on this blog again. A few things have changed since I wrote on here in May 2005. I traded my green smallframe Vespa for a Lambretta Cento. I got the Cento running and drove it around a little bit, but there was a terrible noise from the transmission when the clutch was pulled in so I decided to rebuild the engine. I am still in that process.
I also found a couple of Vespa 400 cars that I bought and have been slowly working on. I have had them for almost a year now and there has been some progresss. The engines have both been removed from both of the cars and I will be able to make one good one out of the two. I wrote about the restoration process a little bit on a free blog, but I think that I will transfer all of those posts over here just to make it a bit easier.
