Vespa. And how I want one.
Y'know when you're designing two new characters who live in Italy and you want to know how old they'd have to be to drive a vespa? And Then end up surfing the net looking for pictures of vespa to help you draw them? And then you wind up on the official site and end up thinking "omigawd i want one of those!" So, then you google how old you have to be to drive one in the UK, and you find out you have to be 16 to drive a 50cc and at 17 you can drive a 125cc so long as you don't have passengers, dont go on the motorway, have L plates and take a CBT every two years until youre old enough to take the official liscence test. Sooo then you go and see if there are any training facilities in your area and it turns out there is one in your little town and you think "hey. If they hadn't changed the law, I'd be learning to drive at 17 anyway, and surely vespas are cheaper than cars, right?".
... Whaddya mean you've never had one of those moments?!
Well yeah, that was my morning. I want one... I want one so badly... It'd be awesome! I wouldnt have to take the smelly bus anymore!!!!! Though Id prob still have to take the train into Manchester... BUT STILL! Also, It'd be great for uni!!
*sigh*~ I've wanted one since like.... FOREVER! I We went to Florence a few years ago and it was like... Vespas... EVERYWHERE!! I mean... srsly! I really want one~!
Hmm... question is... a 50cc or a 125cc?
GAH! If only I lived in Italy I'd probably already have one! Why are laws so complicated...? D<

I wanted one too! I was still 14 at the time though, and I live in Canada where it snows heavily in the winter. :(
