[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?

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:

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 😕
