LSM, I thought I may have seen you the other day, sunny Sunday the 4th, on me way round to mr Mons, other side of the A20 heading towards London. A 1000 mirors, a furry tail thing on a springy arial & a parker....was that you?
Not me ha ha. I only have 10!
My (now) two Lammies are in bits as I am trying to get one fairly accurate copy of Jimmy's Scooter from "Quadrophenia" out of them.
Name for the Lambretta Li 150?

"Jimmy" !!!!!!

I call mine "unfinished project".

Just in case anyone thinks I'm happy with it the way it is.
More E-Bay than Honda now anyway.

There was a ferry website- can't remember for sure but it might have been Stena Line- that allowed you to type in the make and model of the vehicle without using the drop-down boxes.

I took my "Brownfahrt Conglomerate" to Belgium a few years back, just to see what they'd say- nothing. No reaction at all.
( might have been the "Baggobolts Rustbucket", can't recall for sure)
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
