[Closed] Spot the (not deliberate) mistake?

I must be stupid.

me too 😐

me also.

(unless the deliberate mistake is making a hideous t-shirt)

delivery charge by any chance 😆

is it including the Haynes manual picture which suggests they've copied it from the front of a haynes manual?

George delivery charge £2.95.

so still 5p cheaper than buying in store

or was the mistake that you thought it looked anything other than a crap waste of finest Indian cloth?

Well its got haynes on it

Have a closer look at the scooter (click on the shirt for a close up).

Oooh, and get all you Gok Wan types having a dig...... 😀

front brake lever pointing upwards?

Brake hose too long??

Or its a lambretta??

Its a vesparetta

front brake lever pointing upwards?

is this the closest so far?

Or its a lambretta??

Step forward kinda666, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Series III Li, unless I'm very much mistaken.

Utter, utter schoolboy error, how the hell did that get to production without anyone noticing?

Its a vesparetta

Well it says "Vespa and Italian Scooters". And since Lambrettas are "Italian scooters" it isn't factually incorrect. But I get the point.

Maybe its got something to do with the fact that the Lambretta clothing company probably wouldn't be too happy with the lambretta name emblazened on a £3 t shirt @ Asda??

Jesus H christ, I thought computer people were anal.

THREAD FAIL

I know Ernie, but it's still a bit of a howler.

Does no one check this stuff?

THREAD FAIL

Nah, 'VESPA' is in larger type, I'm claiming a win on that one. 😀

All scooters are shit ,sound like hairdryers :lol:and ridden by fat old mods buy a motorbike instead like a nice oil leaking Triumph

Fair enough, seems like you need all the wins you can get.

So you are not going to buy a 6 quid t-shirt because the writing and picture are accurate. Just not the accurate you would like?
I thought I could be picky at times but now I realise I am quite normal 🙂

1 (lame) WIN on STW doesn't compensate for your FAIL in life I'm afraid.

You lose!

And why would that be Al?

Well, thanks for that, I'll certainly take your considered opinions on board when considering my options in the future.

it's just a bit of a lame thread. Might have worked if anyone here knew anything about mopeds. Or cared.

Do Vespas have a backpedal gear?

I'll expand if you like......

1) Nearly buying one in the first place
2) Noticing the mistake
3) Posting it on here
4) Expecting a valued response
5) Nearly buying one in the first place

That's right, I'm not. Just like I wouldn't wear a Moto-Guzzi T Shirt with a picture of a Laverda on it, or a Clash T shirt with a picture of the 'Pistols.

Jesus, you lot are hard work at times........

Personally I love wearing my Jedward tee......

Eggsaccerly!

Was gonna post something similar but involving Capri's and Cavaliers but the thought of being shot down in flames for wanting a T shirt with a capri on it was too much for be to take! 😳

*Loads gun*

Oh hang on, I've just found a T shirt with a the words 'TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR' and a picture of this:

[img] [/img]

Well, all seems fine with that one........ 😀

It's a generic Italian scooter on a "fashion" tee shirt. No one (apart from you, clearly) gives a shit

I don't know Spanner is getting stick over this....... pointing out that a picture of a Vespa would have been more appropriate is perfectly reasonable comment imo. And I'm not sure that he deserves to be accused of having 'failed in life' because of it....sounds a bit of an over reaction to me.

Having said that, I agree that it's a crap tee shirt - not because of the association with scooters, but because as a general rule, I don't like to advertise stuff on my clothes.

Taking anyone's (let alone mine) comments too seriously at ten past one on a Sunday morning could be classed as a mild over-reaction too I suppose 🙄

If you saw someone walking down the street with a Santa Cruz T shirt on, but said shirt was emblazoned with a picture of, say, an Intense, wouldn't it strike you as a bit odd?

In that case, the majority of the general public would no doubt think the same of you.

Some of us like other things as well as MTB's.
I like scooters and motorbikes.

And a Vespa still isn't a Lambretta, whether you know the difference or not. 🙂

Jesus, so much vitriol about a T shirt. Did everyone have money on Scheck?

Tee shirt designer in "not paying attention" shocker. Shit happens. If you're that bothered, write to Asda.

Hahaha.......it was all just a joke - and I fell for it !

Why the "rolling eyes" btw .......are you perhaps taking my post a tad too seriously ?

i thought the point of the thread was that it was out of stock......if you're that anal about a shirt that clearly states "Vespa's and other italian scooters" having a picture of a Lambretta on it then you need to get out more

Could of been worse, coulda been a Zundapp bella! My dad used to have one many moons ago, when i googled it I was nearly sick!

No ta, but thanks for the advice!

Maybe I'll stay in and post a fascinating thread about my shaving routine Bobba, or one about the vastly underrated topic of colour matching my calipers, eh Nick?

Hmmn, the Germans didn't really get the whole aesthetic thing with scooters did they? The British ones were even uglier TBH 😀

I think Lambrettas are a beautiful piece of design:

Series II's especially:

and some Vespas aren't bad either:

I'm obviously in a minority on here though!
What a strange evening.

How can it be a mistake, when it says Vespa and Italian Scooters, isn't it a picture of an Italian Scooter on it?

and how can you buy something that is out of stock anyway 😕

OP - surely this would just cut to the chase?
[img] [/img]

I can't believe the op is defending himself about this.

Jesus, so much vitriol about a T shirt.

no it's Not vitriol, and it's about a really dull thread.

If you saw someone walking down the street with a Santa Cruz T shirt on, but said shirt was emblazoned with a picture of, say, an Intense, wouldn't it strike you as a bit odd?

Not if it said "Santa Cruz and VPP American Bikes" 😆

I love loggin on, on sunday mornings and seeing whats gone on.

Scooters are great around London, Paris or Rome.

Rotherham, Bury or Doncaster = you cant pass your Direct access but pretend to be niche

I can believe that no one's spotted that the fern green and flame red of the Italian flag haven't been printed with the correct Pantone colours!
I have a suspicion that they might have used the Mexican flag colours rather than the Italian ones, and if a fat person were to wear it the aspect ration might change enough for it to be a more accurate rendition of the Mexican flag than the Italian one!!!!!!
I like flags, and flags are very important and nice, and you're all sad losers for not realising this.

Philistines the lot of you!

And yes, I know it says 'out of stock' on the website, but they still have some left at the Radcliffe branch if anyone wants one?!?

Thanks for the T shirt suggestion Hora, a valid contribution as usual. 😀

I've owned 2 Vespas and a Lambretta, so I'm qualified to inform you that T shirt is shit.

I'm thinking along IanMunro's lines here - if that red in the flag were any worse, it should be saying "O'Vespas and udder Oirish Shcooters" 🙂

Seeing as that one is OOS, here's an alternative for you RS

I'm sure these guys would back you up Rustyspanner..
I found the thread at least as interesting as 57% of OT threads started on here..

Maybe I'll stay in and post a fascinating thread about my shaving routine Bobba, or one about the vastly underrated topic of colour matching my calipers, eh Nick?

ooh the irony of pointing out other peoples pointless threads while spraffing on about a t-shirt from a supermarket, I am truly burned and will give up my membership of this internet forum.

probably a good bet to get that t-shirt to cover up your shame

[img] [/img]

So Spanner has gone from being accused of having 'failed in life' to now being accused of being 'an attention seeking whore' ...........and all because he pointed out the irony of a tee shirt with the word "Vespa" having a picture of a Lambretta on it ! LOL ! 😀

I have say though Spanner, you do have a tendency to overreact a tad......I reckon I would have probably shrugged off the comments from the onset. I guess your apparent inability to do so probably contributed to the level of ridicule you received. After all, infantile playground taunting is fairly popular with some on here - if you weren't already aware of that.

Oh ffs, have a word with yerself ernie.

[img] [/img]

Maybe they should have used one of these for the image?

Oh ffs, have a word with yerself ernie.

You sound as if you might be taking this thread rather seriously TheArtist 😀

And from your obvious inability to ignore it, apparently also finding it rather interesting 😀

I want a t-shirt that says 'Belgians and other people', with a picture of a Spaniard on it.

[img] [/img]

I reckon I would have probably shrugged off the comments from the onset.

The downfall of many...it's best to make like a duck's back. I was enjoying it myself.

Saw a bloke wearing one of these at a petrol station in Keighley today (near the roundabout for the bypass, by the MaccyD's by the leisure centre).

I was going to have a word and get his thoughts on it, but I was in a queue of traffic and didn't want to get out of the van.

hth

I reckon you should get some Mountain Cycle ones with a Kona on the front made up for you and Elbry

Well, thanks for all the comments!

I've never been called a life-failing attention whore before, another one to tick off the list.......... 😀

I actually saw someone wearing this t-shirt today! Didn't have the heart to tell him what a mistake he had made. 🙂

This was at a meet of about 300 scooter riders too - imagine the shame!

I believe someone spotted it just after you left:
