Here he is - my new baby


You may not have known but Cream Puff is no more. She was spirited away on one Sunday evening in April by bad men. Actually they were probably boys because who else would hotwire, steal, joyride and them dump trashed a 12 year old crapped out (but loved) vespa?

Anyway after hours on the phone and a measely check from my insurance company, I decided to spring for something from this century and even this decade. He's a 2004 GT in silver (grey?) with "Grantourismo" elegantly scrawled on the right hand side. I'm not showing the left or front as he was clearly dropped on the left and bumped into something on the front. But the newer and slightly larger frame with a nicer engine does feel pretty cushy. Interestingly he has over twice the mileage of cream puff.

what shall we name him?
