You actually have to watch this video twice. First time to read translation and understand the story, and second to just watch and enjoy the footage itself. Thank you

+Maxence Massaro.....I have watched many of the Petrolicious videos and generally love them all. But I honestly believe that your video is the most stunning and beautiful I have ever watched. It combines a poignantly told story about a lovely 1957 Lambretta and how it is inextricably intertwined with a French family's lives - right up to today and a young very much in love couple. Merci.

"We" are just as sentimental in America over our 'family heirloom' vehicles...there must be many, many thousands of families here who treasure 'an old relic' especially old scooters! (it's funny how so many people here are 'scooter fanatics' considering America is the 'Home of Power and Speed' ) Personally, I will never part from my immaculate '08 Honda "Metropolitan" in gloss-back & grey, and at almost 64 myself I intend for my 'scoot' to remain in my 'adopted family' for generations to come.

a lovely story. i had one of these when i was a schoolboy. i bought it for £3 from another boy in an older year at school. it had no side panels and was used to ride around the fields of a friends dads small farm. in those days these old scooters and motorbikes were easy and cheap to obtain. i am talking early 1960s. i am now 73 and still enjoy anything with 2 wheels . i am in the u k . another memory is of a friend who had a new Lambretta in 1962 an L I 125 brand new.he let me have a short ride on it up the lane and really smooth to ride.

This is the real sense of loving classic cars or classic bikes,this is more then a passion,more then a hobby...so many people think that this is just a waste of money.

I've had a Lambretta, Vespa, Piaggio even an Innocenti automobile but never did it go 225 miles without breaking down. I may not have been able to take it on road trips but it was fun when it did run smoothly. And I may not have had a beautiful Italian model on the back riding with me but I can say it was definitely a chick magnet. Great job again petrolicious! Way to mix it up!

I had a Lambretta scooter in college in 1965-6. On the U. of Oklahoma it caused a stir for sure, since all the Fret boys had muscle cars. The Lambretta wasn't a chick magnet either, but it got me where I needed to go. Nice memories.

In the 1970s my paternal grandparents bought a Lambretta from an Italian embassy employee who was going home, having served in Warsaw for several years. According to family stories my grandparents took the little scooter on several trips, including one to the seaside, several hundred kilometres away. I never found out what happened to the little scooter, I imagine it must've ended up parted out or scrapped - getting parts for Western vehicles wasn't easy in communist Poland. I now live across the street from the Italian embassy in Warsaw. Perhaps I should ask around if they have any Lambrettas for sale. Thank you Petrolicious, you're the only people that can give me tears of joy with a video about a humble scooter. Good luck Maxime!

I wish I knew French. but I understand the universal language of love; love for people, and most of all, love of machines. I rode Vespas and Bajajs for 25 years. On the odd occasion I rode Lambrettas, I was impressed with their precise handling even under wheel-lock braking. This video is one of the best I have seen for it not only tells a story but evokes one's sweetest memories. I thank you, and I wish you well, my friend.

Con una "motoneta", que en Argentina se llamaba SIAM-LAMBRETTA 125 cc, igual a la del vídeo (modelo 1954) que había sido de mis padres, yo transitaba los balnearios de la Costa Atlántica de la Provincia de Buenos Aires con mi novia durante los veranos a fines de la década del 60 y principios de los 70. El vídeo me ha traído muchos recuerdos y disfrutables recuerdos !!. Hoy, esa "motoneta", se encuentra guardada desde hace 43 años en un viejo galpón, esperando que en cualquier momento comience a restaurarla.y la "devuelva a la vida" (activa) !!!!

Questi piccoli mezzi hanno costruito le basi della nostra vita moderna. La loro semplicità ha portato una ventata di freschezza e felicità nelle nostre case. Venivano usati in tutti i modi: dal lavoro in campagna alle scampagnate al mare con la famiglia... Il loro fascino è immortale. In Italia, ogni famiglia ha avuto o ha tutt'ora una Lambretta o una Vespa. Io, da appassionato e da possessore di un P125X, capisco perfettamente le emozioni e la felicità di guidare mezzi del genere. Non è un semplice mezzo di metallo, ma un membro della famiglia che completa, a modo tutto suo, il significato di "vivere".
