Old Vespa TV Ad for SS 180

Oh, the things you find on YouTube… The Vespa doesn’t show up until the last seconds of the video, but you can see some cool barrel jumping!

***UPDATE***
My Italian leaves MUCH to be desired but after reviewing the video with the sound on, it looks like an instructor (who’s an Italian blend of Joaquin Phoenix and Tom Welling) is asking the class what defines a “Diva”, then he breaks into a little song and comes back for more input before he finally reveals that it’s Kristin Kreuk the Vespa Super Sport that embodies all of those qualities of a Diva.

    I guess those old British scooter films don’t have a monopoly on male chauvinism: about fifteen boys in that class speak up, and not one of the girls.

    The SS makes quite a pretty “diva” nevertheless.

    As if I didn’t want an SS180 enough already.

    That barrel jumping is pretty sweet.

    I guess it’s great the women didn’t speak up, as the guy did ask, “boys, what qualities do you like in a diva, blond, brunette, etc (lolita??), and her characteristics- playful, sexy, mysterious – can all be found in the new ss180. I guess it would have spiced up the ad a bit if one of the women voted for “butch”.
