Hi there
Belated Happy New Year everyone.
I moved to Barnstaple in November 2011.
Just wondered if there are any other owners nearby.
I see the nearest MMOC club is Exeter. Not sure my mog could cope with all the hills at the moment.
Maybe I could join and take a photo with me

Hi there
Oh you have a vespa too....cool.
I've got the parker but never got the vespa.
Have been tempted to sell the Moggy and get a vespa though when so many things kept going wrong.
It would have to be an original vespa though = big pennies
What colour/reg is your moggy?
I'll keep an eye out. And maybe see you at the next rally?
Are you joining a branch?

Maybe we can start a branch if we can find more owners. I think Barni should have one.
Will you put a photo on your signature sometime? [and the Vespa!?]

Thanks Dale,
I'm going to be one of those folk who say "Why can't the National be held near here?"
Of course this year it's nearer where I
was living

I saluted but you wouldn't have known who I was

I hope the car will have a MOT by then but been here before with classics on long runs I think I will need lots of small runs before a 4hour one

Think I will have to say we will see how wilma behaves after 25years allsort of thing can go wrong
