Hi friends, my local dealer NTB Racing is running a competition on Facebook for a Vespa tin sign. We have had to put a photo in the comments. Currently I am running a close second and would appreciate some international help. My closest rival sells cars for a living and has an immense (for NZ) database to work from, I'm a retired gentleman who would appreciate any help I can get. Here's the link, just like 👍🏻 the photo of Gabriella at a small church near Lake Ferry. https://www.facebook.com/174303415935225/posts/4279312762100916/?d=n
Any votes will be acknowledged if I can.

Thanks. I saw the church when we headed out to the coast for lunch at a place called Ngawi. Had to stop on the way back and capture it.

Znomit's paying $10 for votes for a different Vespa. I've got 10,000 facebook accounts that got laid off from sowing discord and unrest, so what's it worth in your local curreenncy to win the replica tin sign of vespa? How does the exchange rate of this local currency compare to rouble value of two weeks ago?

There's some trypanophobians in NZ who might be interested in your services.

Hey guys and girls, thanks so much for your wonderful votes. Of course, your real names show on the Facebook likes and I haven't done the backward reference to be able to personally thank each of you - yet.

Znomit - thanks for the big recommendation to beat my main opposition (and a local club member) because they are certainly about twice the weight of a standard scoot with all the accessories on. Also, thanks for the vote.

Carl, I picked you were in there, thank you.

Guzzi Gal, thanks for Loving the picture. I don't know if loves are better, but I will suggest it is to the NTB team.

Adri, thanks for the link, and also for the vote. Canada needs to support me, I have family in Winnipeg. (Similarly Kansas City in the States).

Fledermaus, thanks for the vote. I think no explanation is the best explanation. Remind her that there's no harm at looking at the menu so long as one eats at home.

Motovista; where do I start? With New Zealand being ahead of Russia in time when exactly was 2 weeks ago for determining the value of a rouble? As for money, well a poor old pensioner here doesn't have spare $10 notes to throw around. In fact, I have forgotten what real money looks like as I use my phone to pay for most things. Now, how about I look at your catalogue, find something to buy and we call it quits because of the cost of postage to our little Hermit Kingdom.

And to the many others who I haven't identified personally yet, thanks so much for your support. We have until Friday New Zealand time. So, assuming midday Friday 11th March as cut off, the time will be 10:00am east side of Australia, 7:00am on the west coast of Australia, Singapore etc., 1:00am in Cyprus all the way down to South Africa, Midnight Thursday in Italy, 11:00pm Thursday night in Britain, 6:00pm in New York etc., 5:00pm Thursday in Winnipeg/Kansas City (for my relatives) and 3:00pm on the west coast of the USA.

Look forward to sharing the outcome next week.

On Friday (NZ time) I got a call from the Scooter shop to come and pick up my prize. As a direct result of about 15 - 20 members here I won the competition by 20 votes. Can't thank you all enough, it was a great bit of fun. I need to deliver a small prize to the 2nd place getter, and may just make him an OVERSIZE LOAD sign for fun.
I will work out who voted for me and DM everyone I can sort out.
Thanks again.
The winnings, a lovely pressed tin sign.

Thanks so much. I really do appreciate everyone's help. I haven't figured out how to find out who each of you are, some I know from our annual gift exchange, others are currently secret friends.
