About this group

The scooter has a name now. So does the guy who fixes it.

A year or more changes the relationship — the group holds the people who know which immigration office actually answers the phone, which tasca serves a francesinha worth the coma, and which landlords to avoid entirely. Newer arrivals get folded in fast; the scams get named just as fast.

Group vibe

Settled, a little protective, quick to warn a newcomer off a bad deal.
