That's awesome, thanks for the offer! If you need any help with chemistry-related things, just ask!Go for it. If you need any help or advice, simply give me a shout.
I am working towards a Level 6 Diploma in Applied Health and Safety. Not sure what will be next, probably the Environmental Diploma.
Good for you. Totally agree.I've recently got into my coffee. Never used to like the stuff but started drinking it white and now go for black, one sugar. Top that off with an espresso machine for Christmas and you have yourself one happy chappy (me). A good coffee makes all the difference!
Wow. That is a thing of beauty. I've got a delonghi somethingorother which does the job well! It's been set at a lower temperature so as to not burn the coffee and I top up with slightly cooled water from the kettle! When I can justify dropping big money on something like that, I almost certainly will!Good for you. Totally agree.
If you are adventuresome and want the wet shaving equivalent to making espresso take a look at a la Pavoni Europiccola espresso machine. It's chrome and beautiful and looks like something right out of the 19th Century. Other then electricity used to heat the boiler water, it's totally manual. It uses a lever to manually apply the pressure needed to produce the espresso. You control everything and once you get the hang of it it make superp coffee.
You probably are aware though others may not be, Loewy's firm did two designs for Schick, the Flyer electric and the Christmas gold edition G2 injector.The Loewy coupe was an amazing car. Wow!
Oddly enough I have a degree in Industrial Design and the Raymond Loewy Design Studio was a giant and revered at the time. Most of the things coming out of his studio were amazing.
As far as Tommy's Studebaker my guess it was a Champion. It had a bullet nose and started best being pushed down a hill with a jump start. If I remember correctly it also leaked a lot of oil.
Thanks for the great pictures.
Well done, I bet you're well chuffedAs a 16 year old I was massively into the scooter scene and northern soul thanks To my old man, when I turned 20 I sold my beloved Vespa 90 for reasons that are still unknown to me now. The passion for northern soul never went thankfully and I've amassed a small honest collection of records.
After reading this thread I thought about my old Vespa and went on a hunt to find the guy I sold it to, luckily for me he's quite a prominent scooter racer so wasn't to hard to track down, after 20 minutes of chatting I've managed to get my pride and joy back and will be giving it a respray and fixing it up, hopefully before the end of summer.
Until that time comes here's a picture of me as a fresh faced, 16 year old on my way to a rally with my old man in the background. Clearly I loved the colour black, perhaps I was aiming to be a mix of johnny cash and Paul weller haha

Will it be like an old girlfriend though....knowing someone else has had his hands all over her?Over the moon matey can't wait to have the old girl back.
When I was 16 it was 1979... A year or two later there was that whole Mod revival thing, the film Quadrophenia and Madness, the Jam and other bands. I was into rock music, ELO, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and the like. I had a mate called Keith Harrison, he had a scooter and was into the Mod music, not sure whether it was a Vespa or Lambretta but he kept it for a few years, we did City & Guilds engineering, he worked at Rolls Royce Hucknall, happy daysAs a 16 year old I was massively into the scooter scene and northern soul thanks To my old man, when I turned 20 I sold my beloved Vespa 90 for reasons that are still unknown to me now.

I can't see myself having a holiday for the next few years now I've opened a can of worms with this project.Will it be like an old girlfriend though....knowing someone else has had his hands all over her?Only pulling your leg
Yes, that's a far better way to look at it, good man.I think it'll be like when someone looks after your pet when you go on holiday haha. I can't see myself having a holiday for the next few years now I've opened a can of worms with this project.
