:roll: :roll: :roll: yep! and I can go out and by a 89 honda civic for 500 bucks but then I might look better in a 67 GTO with matching Vin numbers and block with cool redlines and in english racing green!  but hey that would set me back about 45k ......and I couldn't make it from one end of 30A to the other without filling up.......oh well!  Go Old school or go home!:biggrin: :biggrin:

I hear you regarding the vintage part. I have a car which is 41 years old, but I don't drive it regularly. Like the thought of flying in an airplane which is 40 years old, I would feel less worried if it were 3 years old, if I were relying upon it daily. My friend bought a purple restored Vespa, not sure of the model year, and she loves it. She bought a purple helmet to match. I like the Vespas, but like the BMW motorcycles, I just cannot afford them. 

Got any pics of this Vespa? Has it been restored? What is the low down on it?

[quote="RiverOtter, post: 225184"]Got any  pix :biggrin:[/quote]No, it was pre-camera, but she is one hot 6ft tall lesbian. :bang: If I could get her to come down here and pose for a few pics on Swantree's Vespa, the scooter would be sold to the first male or lesbian who sees the photo. She is just that hot. Maybe an even better pose would be her on the purple scooter wearing the purple helmet and holding a silver helmet, beside Swantree's silver scooter, with a caption reading, "missing you."
