vroom!!! back to work!



This picture summarizes my wish list: a brownstone and a Vespa. I am really not complicated. What else does a girl need?

I would love to hop on this cutie for my morning commute, wouldn't you? Much more glamorous than the subway.

Happy Monday!

cela doit etre un moyen de transport agreable dans NYC. Cela fait "vacances italiennes" ;o)

Just be careful of the drivers! Good way to get around NYC, and easy to find parking.

Tres Chic !

Pour repondre à ta question sur la statue que je presente aujourd'hui sur mon site : la statue se trouve dans un terrain appartenant à une société qui fait des moteurs pour l'armée, il est interdit (secret défense) d'entrer dans l'enceinte avec un APN (ou un camescope). Donc on a accès à cette sculpture que de l'extérieure, d'où la protection autour (plus les voitures de la sécurité qui s'arrêtent à chaque fois que je viens faire des photos ;o) ).

I'd love to have bigger ones than vespa, like Triumph and BMW, but considering my physical conditions... better off staying in vespa..-_ㅜ (one-eye-crying emoticon)

Tous les week ends je sillonnais toutes les routes de la Belgique, il y a plus de 40 ans avec mon vespa!! Heureux souvenirs de jeunesse.

Oh Eliane - This is sooooo me - The vespa that is.
Not sure about the brownstone I think my wooden house on the beach with the big verandahs is more me - but a Vespa in the tropics would still be chic wouldn't it?????

Vespa, je sais ce-que-c'est, mais...Qu'est-ce-que-c'est-que-ca, un "brownstone?"

I posted a Vespa item too. Like you, I want a Vespa to zoom around town.

Belinda suggested I read a book about an Australian guy who went looking for la dolce vita in Italy on a Vespa. The book is called Vroom With A View by Peter Moore. I read it last month and loved it.

Oh, yes, I'm a Vespa kind of gal. Sure. Would I like to own a brownstone? Maybe, but not the whole thing, just the top floor if it has a nice terrace overlooking a river, lake or large park. Yeah, I'm not really complicated, either :).

•olivier: absolument - manque plus que la gelato (quelques blocks plus bas). Merci pour l'explication - secret défense, faut pas plaisanter avec ça!
•blue wave: traffic and parking would be a problem. Can I just keep it my living room? :)
•colin: Coucou! Mais oui, very chic!!
•sunkyoung: big bikes, uh? We need pictures of those!
•lyliane: J'ai rarement vu des Vespas en Belgique - wow, très tendance! C'est un tellement bel engin.
•jules: YES! Still very, very chic!! You should get one - ya know, for when you come back from your diving sessions.
•lan: a brownston is the type of building you see just behind the vespa. Typical New York townhouses.
•:ming thanks for the book info. I think I'd like to read that!
•fénix: tell you what, I'll rent you the top floor of my brownstone. For an extra fee, you could borrow my vespa. How's that? Deal?

How about I buy the top floor and trade you bbq rights for some Vespa time?

Oh, a Vespa and a brownstone sound ideal. But can we add a good cup of coffee to the wish list, too? THAT would be all I'd need.
