Standard is the new black

So, my bog standard Lambretta DL200 and I attended the Modrapheniacs rally in March, and the worlds finest made it there and back. However she did soft seize on the A3 on way down (in snow, just before Petersfield!) 

Later in late March/early April she fairly catastrophically blew up coming through Dorking (in the rain!) Had to be recovered and have literally just got her back on the road again. 

Twas merely a scratch so it seems with just the crank, piston, barrel, head, bearings, seals, chain, exhaust and clutch needing to be replaced!

However she's finally running again and I'm off to a rally in Guernsey this weekend.

FUCKING THING!!!! Engine back in but another 8-10 hours dicking about to get her running sweet and sorted (I kid you not!)
