If it should ever come to my using a Mobility Scooter; I shall want one of these.
Not quite as above, but with a Bugatti grill, pale blue paintwork, and a wooden rimmed steering wheel.
It would, of course, need to have a wickerwork rear pannier for shopping or picnic materials, and full leather upholstery. It would probably also have a handy container for either a brolly or shotgun.
Ideally it would be capable of around 50 Kph, and have a range of about 500 Kms.
With the Spanish border being only 450 Kms away, I could be in San Sebastian to dine on Oysters and Red Mullet before bedtime.
What a ripper. I have a photo of a similar but more modest model to use in a future post. Mine is red, so it should go faster.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if it has a white stripe on it.
DeleteIsn’t that British Racing Green? Why do you want blue?
ReplyDeleteA Bugatti HAS to be blue. Lady M's Aston Martin version will be BRG.
DeleteAzzuro. Even the Italian football team players are the Azzuri.
DeleteMy Aston Martin will be Welsh Dragon Red
DeleteGotta to live life to the full. Get that motor running, get out on the highway, one hand on that wooden rimmed steering wheel, the other brandishing your walking stick.
ReplyDeleteOr my shotgun.
DeleteLady M would need one too so that you could have races.
ReplyDeleteShe's having an Aston Martin version.
DeleteHope you'll never need one. Serious health hazard. Not least for oncoming traffic.
ReplyDeletePertinent question, if and when you may need it will you have faculties still in enough order to not mow over the likes of me (happy go lucky pedestrian going about her business)?
U
I omitted to mention the very large, and very loud, army-surplus hooter.
DeleteIt is always good to strive for the best.
ReplyDeleteOf course... at my age nothing but the best!
DeleteWhere does the manservant sit?
ReplyDeleteSIT? Have you ever allowed your servants to SIT? No, he runs by the side, carrying the suitcases.
DeleteRunning in front, with a flag, surely?
DeleteThat's the other one!
DeleteSounds like a plan but I’m sure that is way in the future if at all ! Just went outside to stick new stickers given by the council on our green bins ( to prove we’ve paid ) and it’s absolutely freezing out there and windy. Think it’s going to get a bit warmer again next week. 🥶 Hope it’s warmer in your neck of the woods. XXXX
ReplyDeleteLovely day here, but cool first thing this morning. Everyone is outdoors in T shirts, and the children are running around with water pistols.
DeleteDo they do the scyth attachments for the wheels?
ReplyDeleteI've ordered some from Sowf Lundun.
DeleteAs I live close to the Lotus factory, I have ordered a Lotus Elise version.
ReplyDeleteClassy... we can have a race.
DeleteProcrastination has set in. I just can't decide which version I want. I've never had a properly sporty car. My maternal uncle had a Bentley Big 6 and an Alvis (not at the same time) so I think I'd plump for the less ostentatious one and go for the Alvis.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent choice. My only 'sporty car' was a Triumph TR, but it was troublesome.
DeleteI wish. The only time I contemplated buying a sports care - maybe about twenty years ago (the first time I could actually afford one) I got in it and sat dreaming but couldn't get out without help. It was a low slung yellow one.
ReplyDeleteSorry, obviously mean sports 'car'
ReplyDeleteI remember trying a Lotus Super 7, and the pointy end was so narrow that the pedals almost touched each other, and with my big feet... I had a job getting out of it too.
DeleteWe may be seniors but we still want to live life to the fullest. Vroom, Vroom, Vroom!
ReplyDeleteThat's it... Just call me Fangio.
DeleteIf we ever have Paralympic Games again. they should introduce a new event - mobility scooter racing... "And it's Magnon, Cro Magnon speeding down the final straight! He is passing the American! Passing the Russian! The chequered flag is out! It's gold! Gold for Great Britain! Gold for Magnon! What a guy! What a race! Mon dieu!"
ReplyDeleteJust for fun, I looked up Mobility Scooter Racing on Google, and discovered that it does actually exist. I shall obviously have to enrol as a competitor.
DeleteAs long as you don't do 'wheelies' in the thing like one of my neighbours.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Too much power.
DeleteOh My Goodness I love this one. What is so funny about your post today is I have been looking at simpler one that I can afford, That way I could "walk" the gud dugs !
ReplyDeleteparsnip
Don't go for anything less than 1,000cc.
DeleteI should think in times like this you would be thanking your lucky stars that the Spanish border is 450 Kms away... but I could see other uses for the scooter... it would entertain small boys no end.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
I can't mow the lawn without have small boys sitting on my lap or hanging on to the back. I need a trailer.
DeleteI would have one of those two, identical specs, but red.
ReplyDeleteRed is a bit more racy. They go faster.
DeleteMy scooter will be royal purple. It won't be as fast as all of yours; however, since it will be ROYAL purple, you shall all have to motor along 6 feet behind me. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd bow (or curtsy) as you go past.
