Far more. In fact it's due to the town hall anti car policy. People switched to scooters (like I did, almost 20 years ago).<br /><br />How did I find these two scooters side by side? Eh eh, that is my secret.

Grea...Just been catching up on weekend's posts.<br />Great calendar selection. The colour and black and white have quite different themes. (and my fave pic made it!)<br /><br />I remember from my youth that the main rival to Vespa scooters was Lambretta, also originally an Italian company. I also understand that 'lambreta' is a generic name for a scooter in Brazil - Monica?<br /><br />Also the idea for the scooter was originally an American one, the designer being influenced by similar vehicles used by the US military during WW2.<br /><br />Isn't Wikipedia wonderful?Drummondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-16612679982806430312009-11-16T22:58:35.457+01:002009-11-16T22:58:35.457+01:00They do look like old friends.

I was thinking they were new since they had much nicer paint, and beauiful leather seats on them which I don't recall the originals having. <br /><br />That being said, the weather was cool and the newer scooters people were driving had these sort of "lap blanket" looking things that went up to the handlebars.....pretty cool idea to keep warm while driving!<br /><br />There were somce new, modern looking ones we saw by Vespa as well....<br /><br /><br /><br />SeanEuroStylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-21411744694580722522009-11-16T20:25:08.585+01:002009-11-16T20:25:08.585+01:00Monica's remark cracks me up!
