Saili Bhiwandkar from Girgaum is going to ride her trusty 1967 Vintage Vespa scooter in the Vintage and Classic Car Club of India (VCCCI) annual vintage car fiesta on Sunday, February 12. The rally will see golden oldies starting from Cuffe Parade, moving to Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and back, a distance of 50 km.

Tortoise

Saili, 31, a freelance fashion designer said that distance is just a fraction of her recent bike ride, Mumbai to Goa, in December for India Bike Week (IBW). She recalled, “There I was on my vintage Vespa [150 CC] scooter, surrounded by mostly men riding 300 CC to 3000 CC bikes. Here was the tortoise amidst the hares! The tortoise was keeping up though, and at times, the hares were chasing the tortoise,” she laughed.
