The scooters I always liked were the Vespas that starred in La Dolce Vita. Can't find a pic of the movie, but I did find this:

Then there are the scooters from Quadrophenia:

Yes, but do they have 3 floors of partying like the Black Banana in Philly did back in the 80s? ;)

Thanks guys. I'm just going to put the rest of them here. No need for a new thread.

I like panoramas. By the way, if you're ever on Petronia St, be sure to stop by Johnsons Grocery and get a Cuban sandwich. They'll make it to order and it's the best Cuban by far on the island.

I'll be adding more to this over the next few days. I took over a thousand frames and I'm just taking my time.

Love Key West I haven't been there since '98. When you said Johnson's Charles and them Cuban Sandwich they make, my mouth started to water. There was a place called Ruban's that had great food also, it was up the street from Sloppy Joes on one of them side streets. Might be closed now but if not check it out.

The proprietor is a real nice fellow.

I think it starts at the Florida, Georgia state line. Then you'd need to take 95 to 17 and take excursions East from 17 to get closer to certain points of the coast. Somewhere around King George you'd get back on 95 and then hit 50 and try to pick Highway 1 up in Dover.
You could have also hit 13 near Norfolk to get to Dover. But again, you'd have to hit 95 again and then find your way to 9 and eventually switch over to 35. Take 35 to 36. Take the Garden State Parkway to 440 and take that to 76 and hit New York. I'll stop there at 9A. By that point I'd be looking for a strait shot interstate.
