Zamba in Zambales on Caramel

Last weekend, I was very fortunate to be invited by Ron Soriano, collector of all things vintage, including of course scooters, to a unigue ride up north to his beautiful rest house in San Antonio, Zambales. Realizing it was good opportunity to test my newly rebuilt Vespa, hence I happilly complied.

Ron's backyard. One has to see this house up-close to fully appreciate the work done to build it to his specs. The details and history of every post, beam, grill, etc came from different old houses in the vicinity...

Limay, Bataan. Kahit mainit pose pa rin para sa camera. :)



En route to Mount Samat Shrine, our "detour educational stop". Lambrettas are fantastic specially when they are running and being used in rides like these.

But the best one is this genuine vintage 1961 LI150 Lambretta with a PM tune pipe and a new carb. Rusty, as we call it, is as authentic as a lammy can get.

Thank you very much to Kap Bobby and Charly Gaw for the pictures. To see more of Kap's outstanding quality pics, click here. For pictures of our ride and Ron's house click here. Best to see the pics in slideshow. Cheers!
