Thanks Pooky.
I have just got my new car last week.
When I ordered it I really wasent considering a scooter seriously but in between ordering & picking up car I had quite a tumble one day & gave even myself a fright. Also my muscle tone is becoming poorer so ..............
Have you thought about those electric shock muscle toner thingies? I know they're advertised as giving you a six-pack like Budweiser (i.e. weak as water), but they do work for toning.
The alternative to shovelling a scooter into the boot is something like this:

It is just what it is.
Not to say I dont get cheesed off, frustrated & whatever.
Even cry sometimes.
But I just have to get on with it.
What really cheeses me off big time is that it is all so bleeping expensive.
Added to which I have just chucked out piles of shoes as they had holes in.
