Lambretta… Restaurant?!?

Recently I ran into a photo titled Lambretta and it was what you see here. It appears to be Lammy rear ends used as lighting. Nice, though I can feel the groan of a thousand Lambretta owners as they stare on in horror at the misuse of these spare parts. The photographer known as mashimom on Flickr has this to say about the Lambretta photo:

It’s a restaurant, in Sao Paulo (Brazil). It’s called Lambretta, they serve salads and sandwiches, the bread is baked by order. All furniture and decoration uses pieced of lambrettas, benched, wheels, lights.

Cheers! ;)

Interesting. If you’d like to see more photos of Lambretta, click on the title link. Sounds like the place to eat if you need some parts, eh?

***UPDATE***
James, here in Austin, makes a good point… Even though the restaurant is called Lambretta… Further ogling shows those ARE Vespa tail lights. I guess since Cafe Vespa is already taken, they went for the “other” Italian scooter. But, now THAT’S outta the bag, I hate to think what they’ve made their fryer vats out of… Chinese transmission case? Ack!

    Those aren’t Lammy tail lights, though. They’re Vespa.

    Hey!
    Just went over there today!
    Unfortunately, I had no camera.
    They have put a big picture covering walls… Vespas I guess… Vespa is also “wasp” in Portuguese maybe that’s the reason.
    Thanks!
