Am I about to shatter a mod taboo, by perhaps devaluing an iconic mod symbol? Scooters, yes the Vespa the Lambretta as mod as a parka and a three buttoned suit; but only by default. Mods chose scooters as a practical solution to there travel issues; quite simply they couldnt afford a flash motor and motor bikes were far too oily to risk your brand new suit and so the mod scooter was born. However, in the virtual world mods can afford a nice flash motor, so it might be time to park that retro classic next your vintage scooter.
One of the leading creators of cool retro cars on the grid is Sandi Omlet, and her range of Omlet motors marry fantastic looks with great performance. Her cars scriptings are tested by some of the finest drivers on the grid at a variety of tracks. These cars will not send you spiralling off into the sky at 700 miles per hour, they are scripted to have a more realistic performance and stick into the corners like glue. During my virtual car obsession [resulting in an inventory folder in excess of a hundred vehicles, no worries I'm in virtual rehab now] I bought most of these cars and many others besides and can say they never let me down on the track and besides that they look beautiful, especially next to the twentieth ferrari, lambo build on the grid that day. If the original mods had enough cash they'd be buying flash motors, sorry to break your heart, but the scooter whilst symbolic of modernism was often viewed merely as a tool, a treasured too nonetheless but if they could have upgraded to an Austin Healey believe me they would.Take a look at the cars across the grid, not only are they beautifully crafted creations but they can also be a lot of fun, crash all day long no cuts and bruises and no massive garage fees. its a racers paradise.
