I obtained a quote from Footman James via the VVC Discount page and received a reduction in my annual premium of 26% with the same cover other than an excess of £50 instead of £25. Worth considering?

Mau Spencer (Scooterist Scene) CRY FOR HELP FROM ITALY This is a message from Alessia from Italy. I'm a vespa rider and right now I'm working on the organisation of an event for a "Replay" store in London. Since the theme of the event is "la dolce vita", I was wondering if there's one of the club members who would be available for renting his Vespa for the event. I was thinkin about a Vespa GT, a VNA/VNB, SS180, or any other model of the 60's. The vespa will be put in the shop window of the store, therefore the safety of the Vespa is completely guaranteed. If someone is interested please contact me. If there's the availabilty, we can discuss the price and every detail.

PIAGGIO CALENDARS Your Committee has obtained permission to reprint some of the old Piaggio calendars. It is envisaged that these will be available only to members and will be sold at cost.
