Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

So it's been declared today that they are in legal talks. So why spend £7k with someone who didn't offer legal advise in the last 14 or so months? Or has someone bought a new kitchen??

Re: Name change- British Lambretta Owners Association Club

wise words WM. Funnily enough although the VCB and VOC have an understanding it was clearly because the VOC spoke to the VCB at some point t before running away with the idea and also made their logos and name measurably dissimilar.
