scenes from ground zero: Vespa Attack 4 (Bombshell)
Bryan Bedell of 2stokeBuzz.com gave a shoutout: “Have fun, I promise I’ll be there someday!” Meanwhile, Orin O’Neill of Scootin ‘Old School added it as one of the “items on my list of things to do before i die.”
Exactly what are they talking about? They are referring to the VESPA ATTACK, baby!
Now on it’s fourth incarnation, the rally is attracting interest not just with fellow Vespa enthusiasts within the Philippines, but from outside the country as well. Proof that the Vespa scene in the country is alive and kickin’!
Here are some images I’ve snitched from Bob ‘Minggoy’ Fortuno, (read his VA4 account here) a fellow Vespa Club member and a very good photo enthusiast. All the following images were taken by him except when indicated.

Total scooter count is 170 — the biggest turnout by far for any local Vespa Event

Sabroso Lechon roasted four pigs on-the-spot that night. One is sponsored by the lechon company, the other three were sponsored by the three different scooter clubs, namely, EuroScoot, Scoot66 and Vespa Club of the Philippines.

Bing Austria and the rest of his band in Juan Pablo Dream, brought the house down that night. Other bands that night were Rubadub, Earthlings and Dead Pop Stars.
Me and the rest of the Vespa Club officers (from left: VP Mon, Zaldy & Adrian) who handled the assignments I gave them pretty well. Job well done, guys! [photo by Tonito using Mon's cam]
