best and coolest theme seen for a long time.
(a big positive contrast to the innovation-free and dead-boring promotion-scooters (castrol/nike/gucci/O2/F1/vodafone/citibank) or the top of the pops sidepanel-show with "my favourite rock-star")
...but have to admit even if it has a dead-boring theme i really like a lot the "adidas"-lambretta in the feb. scootering issue..cool work. very tasteful scooter also...
it was my idea soulpunk ............been a big fan of ed roth for years so decided to pay tribute to the great man
i seem to remember that it was our friend Stevie that first suggested this idea,then brought in his ed roth book in to show us........
wayne wanted it yellow with snakes on......which was his original idea for the scoot that became scooterotica..............

anyway, -cheers for the cultural input !
am going to the library next week and getting an ed roth book.
...and maybe sweeping the dust off that angle-grinder...
(no, won´t built a same themed scooter but am really playing now with the thought of
cutting sth (repairable) instead of "full-body-resto"..
)

This pic was taken the recent Vegas Rally by a member of New Forest SC, totally by accident and he didn't realise the connection.
