70 year anniversary of the Vespa celebration at the Nicolis Museum in Verona Italy runs through the end of October

The Vespa 98 launched by Piaggio in 1946 is one of the most recognizable icons of Italian design, the Vespa 125 introduced in 1951, plus the sporty versions such as 98 from the 1947 race and the 125 Sport 6 , through the small body 50 Special of 1969. They continued to change and evolve with the
Vespa Sidecar, the GT 150, the military versions, the Vespa tractors, some specimens of Ape and Vespa 400 small four-wheel vehicles.

A Commodore 64 has helped run an auto shop for 25 years

Why? Because one of the computers they’re using on a day-to-day basis is a Commodore 64, and I don’t mean one of the slick nostalgic remakes. I’m talking about a classically beautiful beige C64 and its whirring, clunking 5.25″ floppy disk drive.

It’s been there for more than 25 years. See, not everyone finds the idea of using an old computer sad. Some, like the mechanics at this shop in Gdansk, treat their hardware like a trusted member of their team. Clearly this Commodore 64 has been pulling its weight for the past 25 years, or the shop would’ve found a different system to help them balance driveshafts.

As the old saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — and this C64 seems determined to not break.
