Do you Love Vespa?

If you'd read through the log, you'll probably noticed that this blog is handle by 2 person. Me (CY) and also Hee.
I'm the owner of a Classic Vespa, and a Classic Beetle; while Hee is the owner of a Modern DSLR and a Classic Authentic Lomo Camera. Both of us had same interest in common, Classics and Photography. Funny that either of us invested in different areas~ So i got to own the classics while paying with his gadget sometimes, and he get's to snap plentiful pictures and following me around for classics event.

Sadly, neither of my classics were moving alot lately, my beetle has major problems on the tuning, while my Vespa has the braking problem. Sometimes it feels wasted seeing these beauty laying in the porch untouch.

Many times the idea of selling them off came across my mind, i just couldn't fork out the money for repairs. But deep down i couldn't let them go. Recently i've met a friend who'd drive a VW for 9 years in bad condition. He told me to go slow, if he could do it, so can i. he uses 7 years to collect his parts and money, and recently spent 2 years for complete overmaking. The results? Astonishing.

Seeing his classic makes my well covered passion re-burns.

I remember how i ignore those irritative problems and kept driving my classic. I remember how i ride the Vespa across the busy district all the way back to where it is now without a proper brake. I remember how i used to roam around looking for unwanted scraps just to get the alternative parts. I'm gonna do something to make this feeling revive again!

First, i will repair my Vespa, and drive it to school. Everyday. Next, i will send my beetle for cheap wiring and then tuning.

So, do you have any stories about your Vespa or other classics? I would like to hear them!
