Flat4 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 ***yawn*** I think it might still be dark outside and it's cold but it should be worth it 😁 And I'm not at work! I actually have a few collections to make today, with the main event happening in a couple of hours. Not one of my usual epic trips but looking forward to it all the same.

Flat4 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 Last train of the day delayed and then cancelled 🙄 Broken down, apparently, so a 20 minute wait for the next one.

Dave_Q Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 It's a Piaggio Ape, Italian version of a tuk-tuk (or probably the original on which the Indian ones are based) Chodspeed. Flat4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 First collection of the day ticked off 😁😁😁 And I am very pleased with our new fleet member! I am surprisingly comfortable with it already and it handles very nicely for what I had been warned was "an car." That, however, is exactly what we need with the various misdemeanours occurring with the rest of the fleet. We had the previous generation of Civic in Type S, 2ltr petrol flavour so I'm looking forward to getting to know a spaceship 2.2 diesel 😊 Massive thank you to @Tickman for being an amazing seller once again and hanging on to this lovely machine until we could get our ducks in a row to bring it on board. Also very grateful for the half way delivery! Made life much easier. So, now I have wheels, it's onwards to the next collection 😊 drewd, sdkrc, MiniMort and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they prone to exhaust leaks on the front any where?
