The World’s Top 10 Best Modified Vespa Scooters

The World’s Top 10 Best Modified Vespa Scooters.

The Vespa motorised scooter has come a long way since it days of the Mod gang and general Quadrophenia inspired shenanigans. It was originally manufactured in 1946 in Italy and believe it or not still is! But the classic ones are the ones that their fans modify the most. So without further ado I bring you…
As you can see in the comments below it seems that not all of these are in fact Vespas but are other makes of Scooters. I will leave them in this list that is more of a top 10 modified scooters rather than the “Vespa” brand. Sadly I am no scooter expert but I do promise to do much better with my facts in the future.

10 – Back to basics < Vespa 150 TAP > (source)
Commonly said to be from the Indian army the Vespa 150 T.A.P. was actually used by the French army and was designed to be parachuted into action and was fitted with a 75mm recoilless cannon! And the best bit? This is the ORIGINAL Vespa it all started from this!

9 – Family of 4? No problems. < Vespa Quattro Posti > (source)
Why should you enjoy the pleasure of riding that Vespa on your own when you could ride this fully road legal 4 seater version that was self modified by a fan of the original scooters meaning, not just fun for you but fun for the whole family!

8 – The perfect ride for a woodworm! < Vespa Daniela > (source)
Carlos Alberto loved his Vespa but when it broke down and could no longer be repaired he used his master wood-crafting skills to make the “Vespa Daniela” and while the original engine is all there the entire frame is made from wood! No screws, no metal, just 100% wood!

7 – A rolling Vespa gathers no moss. <vespa naturale > (source)
Believe it or not that is real grass growing over that Vespa and it is also completely road legal! Seen at a Vespa gathering in Germany not a lot is known about this amazing machine other than the fact that the fan won best Vespa modification 1995.

6 – The perfect ride for Peter Parker <Vespa 200 Rally > (source)
Seen at a Vespa show in Brighton back in 2002 (yes they are still going) is this amazing Spiderman custom painted 200 Rally Vespa, and what an incredible paint job it is.

5 – 2 Classic of the motor industry collide! <Vespa 946 with sidecar mod > (source)
Created by Jap Dyer this rather impressive custom-built Vespa and it’s amazing VW camper sidecar was created for his 11-year-old son Kaine to sit in while they drive around the country and officially makes him not only a cool Vespa owner but also a great dad.

4 – “Have you ever danced with the devil?”< 1959 VNA Vespa > (source)
This incredible scooter is called “GO BATS” and has won just about every award going, from Best Of Show – Mile High Mayhem 2003 to Best Custom – Mile High Mayhem 2005 and to be fair to it’s designer (see comments below) you can kind of see why!

3 – Manga Style < Vespa Super Sport 180 > (source)
One for us Manga fans this rather impressive Vespa Sport is inspired by 2000 anime FLCL from Gainax. While it might not look much to a non fan of the series this is in fact an EXACT replica of it and it is also 100% street legal! Nerdy and super cool all in one Scooter.

2 – Recycled Robots?!? < Vespa S 150 > (source)
Made by some amazingly skilled nerd called “Morgan” this amazing scooter images when absolutely viral only last year!, (2012) and what a mind-blowing mod on a basic Vespa it is. I always find it funny when someone does a relatively simple paint job on something and turns it is something that is not only amazing to look at but also highly desirable. Let the copy cat Vespa’s commence!

1 - Tony Starks new weapon: The nerd magnet! < Vespa PX200E > (source)
Now you are probably wondering why I rated this over the incredible R2-D2 one. Well the truth is that this Ironman inspired Vespa is in fact a brand new 2011 Vespa model! Sure the lights and paint job are not original but the scooter underneath them is! So I gave this the number 1 because all you would need to replicate it is a new Vespa, some LEDS and some paint!

I need to add nothing more than what the website says: “Getting ready for your next employment, or let’s say adoption agency, interview?  Break out our Bacon Tie because it says, “I’m a whimsical bacon lover and not a stick in the mud” and it’s an instant conversation starter!” What more needs to be said?!?

The World’s Top 10 Best Ties for Nerds

4 – Made of the good stuff. (£11.66)–(source)
For me it was the higher quality of the Matte finish on this tie. It looks incredible and says “NERD” as loud as anything I have ever seen! Inspired on a motherboard it will be a great talking point as well as making all other nerds envious.

3 – 404 Error, Tie not found. (£24.26)–(source)
The 404 or “Not Found” error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested. And it that is exactly why this is a super cool tie for a nerd.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you are so much as a bit of a nerd you will know why this is my number 1. It’s not only amazing, it turns the person wearing it into an instant talking point! Having trouble meeting the ladies? (or men!) then stick this around your neck and become the centre of attention. Sadly the maker only ever made 2 of these but ask super nicely and they just might do another, very similar one for the right price (the other 2 went for about £100 each on EBAY as a guide price)

The World’s Top 10 Best Scarves for Nerds

As far as I am concerned it is still quite cold here in the UK and if I had a scarf as a Christmas gift I would have been quite happy indeed (sadly I didn’t.) But then again if I had one of these I would have been doing back flips down the street!  So without further ado I bring you…

Nyan Cat is the name of a YouTube video which became an Internet meme.  But I have no idea why I am telling you that because if you are a nerd like me you already knew! Anyway it makes a great looking scarf and well worth including in this top 10.

The first appearance of Piranha Plants was in World 1-2 of Super Mario Bros and they were semi-common enemies of Mario. Now days they are just into knitting scarves inspired by themselves.

7 – Lady gaga’s dress has nothing on this! (£45.77)–(source)
First off I will give you the fact that it is a little odd. But this is my top 10 and I think it is cool! What?… OK, OK, I admit it, I thought it was a little weird as well. But visually it is a real talk about scarf that is sure to turn heads!  Just as long as it is not worn at a Vegetarian Party.

6 – “Do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?” (£19.07)–(source)
These are a little too rude for a present for an elderly mum. (maybe I am a prude)  but in Japan these have gone viral! With it being gift of the year in 2010 there are literally thousands of them and you can have tattoos, piercing and every colour under the sun!

5 – No animals were harmed during the making of this scarf! (£38.14)–(source)
“The quick brown scarf wraps around the lazy dogs neck” is sadly not a phrase that contains all of the letters of the alphabet. But it does sum up this great looking scarf that doesn’t cost the earth but would be a real talking point, and is in fact still quite nerdy because it is inspired by the web browser Firefox!

The World’s Top 10 Best Scarves for Nerds

4 – The only scarf with its own ASBO! (£11.04)–(source)
The scarf with real attitude and maybe one for all the CSI nerds out there. It has a look like the crime scene tape found over many a murder scene and makes you stand out like a sore thumb. This is knitting, urban style!

3 – Now that really is a knockout! (£45)–(source)
A lovely nerdette who goes by the name “Beatboxtaun” knitted this incredible classic Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out scarf. While the link does go to a scarf that is already sold if you ask (or beg) nicely enough maybe Beatboxtaun could make one very similar for you.

2 – I like my Pizza like I like my neck. Nice and warm! (£28.61)–(source)
If fact this goes nicely with yesterday’s blog “The World’s Top 10 Best Pizza Cutters ” and while this tasty looking scarf didn’t quite make it to number one I think for us pizza lovers it would be a great gift to receive.

The World’s Top 10 Best Scarves for Nerds

1 – The scarf of happy memories.(£25.43)–(source)
Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros is the one that everyone remembers. The iconic monsters, coin blocks and of course Super Mario himself and it is all on this one epic scarf! And given the fact that it is just over £25 means it just had to be number 1.

10 – Not so much Pizza Cutters more Pizza Clippers! (£10.99)–(source)
The image above caused a right uproar when it first went viral back in 2002. The problem is people thought it was amazing and brought loads of them from a website that will forever be unnamed because what you see in the image was in fact just a blatant rip-off of the product in the link! And the worst part was the copy cost nearly 5x more than the original one did!

9 – Worth forking out for?!? (£3.68)–(source)
When I eat Pizza I revert back to a caveman. Just me, my hands and my pizza. I grab it eat it and then bang my chest to show appreciation to the pizza guy. But If you are a little bit posh you might want to avoid any hand to mouth contact and use this rather posh Pizza fork! It doesn’t cost the earth so you can get some serviettes to go with it !

I will let you into a little tiny secret…I’m a nerd! I love all things Starwars, Star trek, fringe you name it! If it has so much as been inspired by something nerdy then I love it! And it will come to no surprise to tell you, I think this is EPIC!!!

6 – Pizzrophenia! (£9.99)–(source)
Would you consider yourself a bit of a mod? Then why not combine two of Italy’s best exports Pizza and  Vespas in one great gadget! Not only does it look cool but it also stands on its own with the built-in kickstand!

4 – Jaws: The Anchovies Revenge (£9.20)–(source)
A little bit more manliness needed here because you need to go all Roy Scheider style on this one and grab onto the Pizza Shark and roll it across your favourite pizza!  OK it is not all that dangerous but could be worth a laugh at party’s!

The World’s Top 10 Best Pizza Cutters

3 – Pi for the Pie! (£60.33)–(source)
Here is one that many people don’t know: In America a piece of pizza is called a slice (as it is everywhere else) and a whole pizza is a ‘pizza pie’ Why am I telling you this? Because if you don’t know that you don’t get the “Pi” joke in the item above!

2 – Say “Hello!” to Mr Kitch! (£3.69)–(source)
Since when is pizza cutting time play time?!? I have to admit that this did indeed bring a smile to my face. But then I started to wonder if kids would be attracted to it! Sure it has a great look about it and would brighten up any kitchen surface but would it be a magnet to the little ones? Well for just £3.69 I am willing to find out!

1 - Edward Woodward would be happy to help. (£79.47)–(source)
This ladies and gruff men is the master of all pizza cutters. This is “The Equalizer” (Please tell me someone gets the opening line now!) and it is a multi-blade Rocking Knife.
Sure it is about 10 times more expensive than the others in this list, but if you want the best you have to pay that little bit more. Just place this destroyer of pizza on top of it and BOOM! Job done. (may require several minuets of rocking motion as the “rocking knife” part of the title suggest.
