It's Friday: Ever wonder what's really powering your Lambretta?


Click on the image above to watch the video

While you may be familiar with the tiger underhood of the classic Pontiac GTO, have you ever wondered what animal may be powering your vintage Lambretta scooter? Wonder no more! As the video pasted after the break clearly shows, there's none other than a nice little bear turning the crankshaft for you. While this is a pretty cool German commercial, it really pales in comparison to the Lambrettwist commercial from the sixties, which we've also kindly pasted after the break. Enjoy!
