docblackrock Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.com/Riva-Aquarama-Replica-...tem#imageAnchor Would really like to get my mitts on this - seemingly impossible to source in this (smaller) size in the EU. If anyone here could help by acting as a middleman, I'd be eternally grateful (all costs paid of course). thanks Doc
TwoTone Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 PM Sent Doc... PM Sent Doc... Opps, I see Bob already beat me to it... TT
docblackrock Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 Sure thing... have him send it to me. I can make sure all is in order before I forward it on to you. You know my reputation for taking stellar care of my timepieces. it's vintagasized enough Bob, just keep your Land Rover away from it However if you're serious I'll gladly take you up on your very kind offer thanks
docblackrock Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 PM Sent Doc... Opps, I see Bob already beat me to it... TT Thanks TT anyway - not got any PMs through yet, hope they're not playing up again
TwoTone Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Thanks TT anyway - not got any PMs through yet, hope they're not playing up again Doc, I didn't send after seeing Nanuq's response...
docblackrock Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 does the boat actually float? Ahaaarrr, I be hoping she will @ TT, thanks thought I was going mad there for a minute
Linder Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Before or after it makes a stop in Alaska?
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship...

docblackrock Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 For your listening pleasure: Riva V8 & V12 engine sound files! :-) click here to download aquarama.wav click here to download riva.v12.wav Thank you Ry but such a tease, I wanna hear that V12 beast roar! Aaah, still it takes me back - suddenly no more a cold dark English winter's night, but a slightly misty early morning on Maggiore, the sun's first rays glinting off the Lago, and the cabinieri all tucked up asleep in their law-enforcing beds

Your memories of the Lago sound wonderful - it's a magical place..

Now steady on there Randy, don't be laying all that hoo-doo, jinxy, Ancient Mariner crap down on my baby's first journey up the Pacific Coast...

I LOVE the sound of a beefy V8.. Gunning the throttle gives me goosebumps, and a big smile every time.. Who cares about gas prices? I sold my Classic Glastron Crestflite 2 months ago, and I miss firing the 302 up a few times a week, and just cruise around the harbour, sitting back letting engine warm up and dream about summer again... I am looking for a new boat now, but it'll be something without a soul and a V8.

Your memories of the Lago sound wonderful - it's a magical place.. interesting I would have thought you'd have said Piaf considering your domicile. A magical place indeed, where I plan to grow old (and disreputable) and use my Aquarama as a runabout.
