Welcome to the first in a series of rambling stories about scooter cities of the globe. Today we look at Madrid, the capital of Spain. A city of approximately 3 million scooter mad Spaniards, both new and imported.  Our intrepid travel photographer Peter Sterling recently stumbled into Madrid and began snapping pictures. No matter where he pointed his lens it was filled with every size, shape and color of scooter. Ancient Vespas and Lambrettas, modified late model Japanese machines, modern sports scooters from the likes of Gilera and Aprilia right down to rusted, unidentifiable hulks left to return to nature.

Ciao, I am Enzo Stoini but my friends call me Del Fuego (you included now) this simply means “of fire”, or more incorrectly but in the context it is intended “On Fire” and comes from a phrase that I shall not repeat here, actually you can try to guess if you like it goes along the lines of “My _______ is the ________ of fire!”.

Hey, I'm Ant 'Spanner' Stead one of the founding members of The Scooter Review. I’m currently working in graphic design, mixed in with some IT and spins spanners for fun. I guess you could call me a ‘tinkerer’. As I always tinker with stuff, we all know some one like that, he is the guy with the side of his computer permanently open, and bits hanging out of it, maybe a few dead hard drives piled up next to it. The one who has taken their car to bits just to see if it works. I guess, I loosely fall into that category of person. I’ve taken my 50cc scooter to bits more times than I can remember and changed almost every part of it, just for fun.

Who am I? Well I'm still trying to find out to be honest. I'm most well known for my series of performance car DVDs called High Octane which I directed and presented from 2000-2006. Recently I directed and starred in my first feature film called You Move You Die which was released in the USA in March 2008 and will be released in other countries during 2008/2009. This is how I've garnered the aka "Hollywood". Film making is very much my passion and I'm set to begin shooting my next feature film in March 2009.
