A 600€ scooter, that is my only form of transportation for long distances without taking a lift, to be exact, so its not "just a scooter".

But whatever, try to find one in the same condition as it was in finland, with 2000kms when bought, you just simply cant.

I got 3,5k km's driven scooter for free after breaking up with my ex xD and its in perfect condition except batterys dead as it just lies in my garage useless, come and buy it off from me

So what I'm going to say instead is I hope you can mend it enough so that you're happy with it again. Luckily scooter parts are not super expensive.

My brand new 2015 golf was door dinged. Did I lose my mind damn right. When the rabbit was assaulted by that truck bed liner was even more upsetting. But at the end of a day it's a material item, it can be fixed or replaced. Humans cannot. My friend has been t-boned twice(drunk and old lady) and the car should have been totaled twice but he survived and they mended the car. Was he upset? Yes, but both times he escaped unscathed which is just incredible.

Call it insensitive, maybe it's just me getting older but a human life is more important than any car to me. I'm always going to be proud of my car and love seeing someone else who is, but when someone complains surviving it ticks me off. I lost my grandfather to a car crash so I may be more biased.

When I had my scooter, I was almost in tears when I had to sell the thing. It choked me up for days afterwards and I was always proud of my scooter despite what was wrong with it. The fact I could barely afford to keep it going let alone repair it meant I had to sell it in the end (my job at the time wouldn't cover it as I was working random shifts behind a bar, cash in hand lol).


When I drove it, despite the 50cc engine, the loud exhaust, it always gave me a smile on my face when I rode it. Even after a long hard shift in work, a crappy day, the minute I got on it and put my helmet on id love it. Hitting a corner just right, pushing the scooter late at night to its 40 mph limit (hahahahaha). It always felt great.. Until I got to a bumpy road of course. My word.

I am by no means a bike lover, frankly I do not see how owning one is better than a car yet. For the time I had a scooter, I would recommend one as I wouldn't put someone through the near accidents, the times drivers have nearly rammed me off my scooter because I wasn't going fast enough for them, the times people have blatantly ignored me at cross roads, trucks almost forcing me under their giant wheels and the countless times it almost got stolen.


Should you own one ? Never. But for the time that I did, I loved every god damned second of it.

Cleaning, wiring, speaker, crossover and head unit install, and solving one existing open circuit problem for the head unit&cig lighter. Removing the dashboard makes everything a lot roomier

Also I was interested to see what was behind it as the whole wire loom was swapped from a CRX to this car, so I want to see how well it's been done.

[Blade3562]

I'm actually impressed AJ it's really organized under there at least from this angle. Both mk1s that I redid were absolute chaos under there

In other news , AJ lost the wheel and decided to use that wrench to steer

Two Vise-Grips work better for that... But no, I have way too many spare Honda steering wheels (does someone want one?)

[SO•Sebas]

The Echo received the "LOL" treatment. It was funny on the CR-V but it's 10x better on that little car.
