If i buy tix will you ship it overseas?

There's no golden specials on this side of the pond ( that i'm aware of ).

What a beaut, and what a deal on the raffle tickets. I've recently had a run of luck with raffle tickets. After winning my Vespa S 50, I then won a $200 gift certificate for laser hair removal. If you've ever seen me you'd know that that would be a useless prize for me. But nonetheless, I have been lucky of late.

if you could just spit on my palm i'd appreciate it as i've just purchased £30 worth of raffle tickets

I could spit into a container and mail it to the UK if you like.

As long as it comes back with the scooter in it.


Congrats on the S50 and the Laser Removal, Benny. It's a shame you asians are not a more swarthy folk. Perhaps find a Greek woman who'll trade you for some agreed on cash equivalent.

I'll take the laser removal if you want to pass on some good fortune Benito being over 30 and of Middle Eastern heritage, I could use some!

Then, with this blessing, I might have a better chance of winning that Lambretta 8)

And Benny could spend the Laser hair money on Golden Special raffle tickets!

Everyone wins! ( except the hair, of course )

I have enough hair on my head and face...the weird ones on my shoulders deserve to lose.

If Benny won another scooter I would of course offer to transport it for him...to my house

You guys are so kind to offer to store my winning scooter for me. I guess I'd better buy some raffle tickets to win it first then.

i'm just imagining the moans of horror/disgust/anguish/etc. from the Lammy crowd if a member of 'Modern Vespa' walks off with that scooter. oh, the irony.

I'd be over the moon if that was me and to express my joy I'd make sure I had lots of vespa stuff on when I collected it The only Vespa thing I own is the scooter itself, but if I won the Lambretta, I'd make the effort

Well, you're in luck. The Lambretta trademark, as it applies to scooters, is licensed out to that crappy Adly company, who are rebadging chinese scooters with them.

HOWEVER, if it's swag you want, the Lambretta trademark for everything BUT scooters is owned by a company who produce all sorts of clothing. I have a lambretta belt and a lambretta watch from the Lambretta clothing store in the UK... they make all sorts of t-shirts and gear. It's sorta ben sherman-esque, in that a fraction of the lineup is cool and vintage looking ...and the rest of it is garbage.

Very nice and good luck to all those who enter.

Since the Vespa is regularly raped by London car drivers, chavs and other pond scum, a garage would be needed.

Buying a shitty PX instead, which will be kept looking like shit in order that no one gives a crap about it.

True! There was a clothing shop near me in the UK that sold the Lambretta stuff - my mate used to plaster himself in it Like yourself, I'm a bit more discerning, and just got a T-shirt. Good quality, but a lot of the stuff I just couldn't wear. The T-shirt is still going strong after a couple of years 8)

Great cause...Seems the Raffle is only open to UK Residents...Bummer!

*person who has British passport and the address of a friend...cheats*

Good luck UKMV. I hope you win.

Sigh...look at the size of that carb venturi. A seagull could get sucked into that thing.

And they've got a welded up steel long range tank, too. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's what you've gotta run when you've got a gas guzzling TS1 kit.

Too pretty.
