Scooter Nova magazines Scooter Expo 2 was on Sunday, the first show was cracking so was very exited for this. Once again they invited me to do a paint demo Pinstriping and Signwriting.
The emphasis of the show is bringing together old custom scooters with modern and restored examples. It's held at Alfreton Leisure Centre in Derby and is a cracking venue over two large rooms.

I feel this is going to become a great thread. My memories of Donny don't go back that far rattly 90s as a kid then early 2000s when the final shows were on. Fond memories of standing at the side of the road watching the cars coming out until that was put to an end.
Do you have any slides of the custom scooters from the early days?

the first event of any year always being Doncaster Custom Motor Show. Indoor shows had the added fun of building a club stand which with us included a back drop. I used to love club stands at The Doncaster shows. Everyone seemed to put so much effort into creating a scene, like full on stage set. I remember one that was a wild west town theme complete with club members dressed in costume (unless that was their regular clothes anyway). There was another club that made thier own beach with sand and palm trees. When I have the time I'll look through my shoebox of old photos to see if I've got any from there. Please do Jez, love the old Donny days memories 😎

Tenuous and controversial Thats a myth that one I may quote one of the many sources.... Contrary to popular belief, though, the Chevy Nova sold well in Latin America. In Venezuela, the Nova actually exceeded sales projections from Chevrolet.
If you can speak Spanish, you likely understand why the Chevy Nova “no go” story is a myth. For one, in Spanish, nova and no va don’t sound the same, and most people would not confuse them. It would be like saying “carpet” and “car pet.” They sound different and have different meanings. Also, no va would be a highly unusual way to describe a car that can’t drive or function. The more appropriate Spanish phrase to use is no funciona.
Furthermore, there’s a gasoline brand in Mexico that uses the nova name. If a Nova gasoline could be sold in a Latin American country like Mexico, the use of Nova for a car name would be an unlikely hindrance to car sales.Apparently the Mitsubishi Pajero has a humourous double meaning in Latin America as does the Mercury Caliente. I'll let someone else fact check those though. My Spanish is rusty. True but its the only slightly anti monarchy thing I could find 😁

Thanks akku , for this lesson. But I still don't get what nova has to do with royally themed names? Btw. for similar reasons the Audi E-tron caused some laughs in france, too, because etron is french for turd. Audi still didn't drop it. As in "doesn't work", monarchy or the fact non have actually done a decent days work. It was meant to be very tongue in cheek as didn't want it to turn into a political rant of my own views. But I always like to go against the grain 😁😁

And like most scooters. Pretty sure this was marketed as some Piaggio moped elsewhere. Reminds me of a Ciao. The 'Vesp' part of the badge is Vespa as is the handlebar set up off a Vespa 50 Special

Great replies, thanks for the input.
My idea is this. It was to start yesterday as it was 31 days till my 40th birthday. Basically building and document a full paint and rebuild of a custom scooter in that time frame as a big of a goal.
