Winter where Newton Heath ? A lot of very stylish stuff will not keep you warm when the cold kicks in here in New York City.

Any ideas for a good reasonably priced winter overcoat ?
Yeah l think the 300cc sounds impressive but l have always felt that an automatic transmission takes the fun out of driving.Don’t really know. But as I say I’ve seen a few on rally photos recently. It’s not a paint job I consider either.
Is that the 300cc Andy?These Vespa GTS are great. Been around around a decade now. I’ve had 2. And they look fairly retro too. View attachment 1244969
No both 125s. Never passed test. I traded the white one in for an MP3 three wheeler 300 ( no test needed cos of wheel spacing at front)Yeah l think the 300cc sounds impressive but l have always felt that an automatic transmission takes the fun out of driving.
It would be nice to have one to get around in and a nice Lambretta SX200 to pose around in . .?

Yeah , I was thinking the 300cc must be pretty powerful , a pal of mine down in West Sussex told me that a mate of his came across from ltaly on one in a day !No both 125s. Never past test. I traded the white one in for an MP3 three wheeler 300 ( no test needed cos of wheel spacing at front)
Alas I kind of missed Vespa so I part exchanged for the burgundy one.
I’ve neither now unfortunately. I just couldn’t get enough use out of it. This all happened within last would you believe.
I did have a Pxe and a T5 back in the 80s and early 90s
I have read the new 300 HPE engine is even better.
Downhill maybe. Mine used to top out around 65-67. And then again I bet it’s a bit less with a gps on to give you a true reading.Yeah , I was thinking the 300cc must be pretty powerful , a pal of mine down in West Sussex told me that a mate of his came across from ltaly on one in a day !
I knew a guy many years ago who had a tuned up Vespa 225 , the hardest thing was keeping the front wheel on the ground whilst accelerating but an interesting scooter nevertheless
ETA ; I imagine the 125cccould still do about 70mph?
Cutting down a scooter like that never looks good to me.
Might of been nicked?
Yeah , despite never owning a Lambretta l would agree 100% that they look more cool ( l was always a bit unsure driving them) than a Vespa. Also agree on the reliability point too , waited plenty of times at the side of the road whilst buddies fixed their Lambos. However , most Mods never maintained their scooters properly , too busy polishing the chrome work ??When our lads had scooters we always had lamies ,to us Vespas looked uncool a hairdryer on wheels , but ironically they were far more reliable than a lambretta.
