Wooden Vespa = Pure genius

This came to me from my wife while I was on the road, then over the course of the next 24 hours I received a flood of emails, IMs, text messages, and twits telling me to check out this wooden Vespa. I finally got to see it this morning and now I see what all the excitement is about. ‘Nuf respect to Portuguese craftsman Carlos Alberto for this handbuilt beauty. She is incredible.

And if that’s not jaw dropping enough… She runs.

Go here for some behind the scene shots (thanks for that link Tim!) and thanks to all the other scoopers who were turned on by this work of art.

    I wonder who will be the first to make transparent plastic body panels for the xray vision vespa.
