Not British but certainly a Classic...

I rather enjoyed this little Vespa P50 from Hama's stable:-

Absolutely wonderful. Hama's got such a sense of humour with his choice of vehicles, yet they're built to perfection. I like your new technique of bringing your illustrations to life with video clips, Peter. Do you use fraps and convert the resulting file to wmv?

BTW. In the last frames, the lady appears to be polishing something that's not there. Do you think there's another hidden button that brings a flap down at the back?

Yes.. and not a flake in sight! :worried:

When Peter said a Vespa.. I was expecting the 2 wheeled variety. I should have known better :lol:

Yes Ian,

I just use fraps and try to keep the clips brief so that the finished video will stream. I join clips if necessary with VideoStudio 11.5 and also use it to make it into an HD 720 WMV, which seems to work well.

I have not found a key or button that lowers a flap or a table for her to work on and there is no text file to consult :think:

I really started doing this video clip thing to show the Georender animations (see the Auster LoSlo Cruise thread) but the technique has possibilities as long as the clips are short enough to stream :flying:

Dave this Vespa is called a Vespa P50 and the P stands for Piaggio...BTW, in the cab is the conventional scooter handle bars and speedo...Reminds me of a time when I drove my father's Messerschmitt bubble car but that had the two wheels at the front and one at the back :lol:

Ah......a 99, that's the one. I wondered why she gave me a look and slapped me when I asked her for a 69 :$ :doho:
