Ska Junkie Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Loan them bugger all. Why improve them with our cast offs? Anybody BUT them please. Our cast offs are far too good to go there and would probably help them. NO deals with the scum please. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods were either Lambretta or Vespa fans. I had a Vespa Sportique which was a strange design as the engine was fitted on one side of the frame and not in the middle. Hardly ideal for stability, but it still got me (same as you) to Weymouth and Torquay many times. The misc chrome mirrors, crash bars and racks were probably worth more than the Vespa. This has nothing to do with Rovers, but it’s more fun than thinking about them and their tent based ground 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 13/60, which did the same. Brilliant motor, I loved it. Walnut dash, leather seats, wood and wire steering wheel.

Wish I kept the Cooper and the Fizz. @Mike Hunt-HertzI too started off with a green Triumph Herald. Cracking little motor. Then got a 1600E. Found out it was 2 cars welded together. Pulled away sharpish from the lights at the top of Winterstoke Road and the drivers seat fixing bolts came away and I ended up on the back seat, frantically scrambling back to try and stop the car from going into the boozer opposite. They don't make 'em like that anymore! Prior to that had a Garelli Tiger Cross. My dad worked at Rolls Royce and re-bored the piston, it went like shit off a shovel. That got nicked from Filton Technical College the day I put a Gert big chain on it for security. FTG 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
