Of course, i got a tear in my eye when I saw my old Vespa 400. It was the same color as the one I had. Sure wish that I still had it.

I gotta go with Gerald on the Schottenring as one of the more classic looking cars. It has an almost a "Great Gatsby" flair from a day when the rich wore their opulence like a costume.

Going thru the list, it's interesting that many of the 2 stoke cars allowed the motor to run in either direction, instead of implementing a reverse gear. Of course, this also means the gearbox provided as many gears and as much speed in either direction. It's a little daunting to imagine someone driving one of these cars at 90kmh in reverse - yikes! I thought only Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel did that?
