crap idea then. How much would the shipping be, out of curiousity. I know it costs about a grand for a car, before taxes and all the rip-off stuff. Can't you just get one sent in like a sturdy cardboard box? Laughing emoticon

they have gone up so much. people are really seeing the beauty in them now. and when we get to the mad max days of unsubsidized american gas and have to pay what the rest of the world pays, gas sipping vintage like VWs and MGs and will be even more sought after. it would cost $160 to fill my pick up in england.

Welcome aboard. You have joined the most elegant internet forum for shifty Vespas. Well, perhaps elegant is a bit too much, but it is definitely a fine group.
