I have a sudden and strange urge to buy one of these...

[Melvil]

Buy it - or MarkF's suggestion - looks fab and fun!

How can a Brompton be below a MTB with Nobblies? That puts a Brompton owner below every CHAV in Britain ffs. Seriously needs re-drafting. Or needs serious re-drafting. Or in serious need of a re-draft......

Fab, buy the real deal, there are still plenty about. I am going to buy another from Spain (Spring/Summer) where prices are a fair bit lower, the Madrid Vespa's have an excellent reputation. If you want a link pm me.

Mine, bought last year for £1200, fully functional

I didn't like the silver wheels, so another £1200 and 6 months later I have this....

I am in too far to stop now, a beautiful, like new, bright orange scooter should make it's appearance in March.........hopefully.

Man... that looks ace! I certainly like the link to have a look.
I just love the thought of bimbling rounsd on a Vespa/Lambretta or similar like the LML... a proper scooter, with gears and a spare wheel!

Mrs FF's just not going to go for it though... unless....

Tell her that insurance is £80 a year, road tax is NOTHING and you get 100mpg Running costs are peanuts and if you buy a Vespa, not an LML, you won't lose any money if you sell, you'll probably make some.

FF, I followed the link and thought they looked good, then clicked on the Vespa link from the same place:

They look even better IMO.

I'm cycling in Musselburgh next weekend if you want me to pick one up for you I might have to have a trip past just to press my nose against their window...

I have occasionally thought about getting a scooter - not sure how a middle aged greying bloke would look on a Vespa in rural Scotland.

Noodley they would think you are having a mid life crisis.

 

[MarkF]

You mean lie? Sounds reasonable to me.

Sorry, you lost me. The scooter is my 3rd, the previous 2, I made money on, without trying, better investment than gold at the mo', are Vespas.

Noodley, I nearly bought a Vivo scooter till I found out that they were Indian, hard to tell from the site isn't it? You'd think you were buying "Roman Holiday" but in fact, you get a "Chicken Tikka".

... much the same as I would in rural Oxfordshire...
