Love the basket - it turned out great and congrats to the winners. I'd love to have a scooter like that. 

The name I'm submitting for your scooter is "Blossom." I'm sure you can guess why. :-) Have a nice day.

Thank you Kim, we love it!

Email your address to digger.lizzie@gmail.com and this:

will be on its way. :-)

And for those of you who thought "Red Rocket" and "Blossom"  were new scooters,

I thank you so very much for the compliment, however;

 these scooters are several years old, purchased used and well loved, 

(albeit in good shape), from my boss last summer:

So we gussied them up like this: 

The seats were repainted with Rustoleum Spray Paint for vinyl

 in red and silver (the yellow seat was in good shape, so need for yellow paint

 but both silver sections had been loved by the sun, so they were painted.)

What a difference!

Then we "detailed" them.

A little spit and polish does wonders!

Get this, the NVO even had some kind of  a "shiny tire maker" foam spray.

Hmmmm...that was an unfamiliar product to me - hey, that could be a good Father's Day gift idea...

next year, next year. :-)

Just like new!

Purdy, huh?
