docblackrock Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your memories of the Lago sound wonderful - it's a magical place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
