I love the idea of a Vespa riding around a California road. Thanks for your words!

I used to collect Vespas in the early 80s. My buddies and I would find classics with similar paint conditions as the Fiat above, fix them up and sell them. I still own my Vespa and take it out for a spin down Colorado Blvd., along the Rose Parade route. Now all I need is a "ROMA" license plate to make the experience complete!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070779113552428820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595552101752568387.post-68511362968790966282009-12-30T23:16:45.424+01:002009-12-30T23:16:45.424+01:00Chuck P~ I must have missed you in the above comme...Chuck P~ I must have missed you in the above comment.
