Had an idea of buying a piaggio ape (50?) from somewhere in the bottom of Italy then driving/riding/pushing it back to the UK.
Once I'd actually driven/ridden/pushed one a few miles I'd had my fill of hot, noisy, slow, comically slow terror and decided it was a terrible idea and I should just enjoy my holiday.But then I saw one of the mad 1950's British 3 wheel van things (that the plant was sold to someone in Croatia or former republic of... and they built them up till late 80's) that look right out of an industrial sci-fi movie and decided thats what I REALLY needed. If anyone EVER see's one for sale anywhere, message me immediately. They are borderline worthless, and likely even more terrible to drive/ride/die inside than an Ape50, but just such a mental vehicle.
Depends really. I'd like to buy one from southern Portugal, then spend a week or 2 riding it home...
