I think MORE downtown developers should do this sort of giveaway. It’s brilliant!

Hey Lester… I know YOU wouldn’t mind getting an order for a fleet -o-ETs, eh?

(Oh yeah… I’m guess here, but for our American English speakers, I think Cons is short for Conjuncts. Joint land owners. Here‘s my reference. I should double check with my neighbor.)

Scotsman.com News – Scotland – New flats with all mod cons..: “THEY are synonymous with Italian style and more commonly seen whizzing around the congested streets of Rome.

But a fleet of Vespas could soon be hitting the road in Edinburgh after a property developer offered a free scooter with every home.

Edinburgh-based Bett and Bryant says Jamie Oliver’s transport of choice is the perfect answer to beating the Capital’s rush-hour traffic.

Every new resident of the upmarket Strada development in Pilton Drive will be given a Vespa if they buy one of the £230,000 flats before December 16.

And a company spokeswoman said the giveaway had already proved popular.

‘Several people have already taken up the offer. There are allocated car parking spaces at the development, but driving a Vespa is the ideal way to nip into the city centre. It is also easier to park.’

She said the Vespa offer was also meant to tie in with the Italian style of the development.

‘The whole Strada development is Italian. We were inspired while watching the Italian film La Dolce Vita at the Edinburgh Film Festival and that’s where the whole idea came from. Vespas are iconic and this is an Italian-inspired development.’”
