My mate Neil has just bought a Smart. How much ridicule does he deserve?[img]http://locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/a116395-members_lolo[1].jpg[/img]

Tupperware car innit

bit small to put yer sarnies in.

Least he'll be able to save on parking charges. He'll be able to tuck it up his sleave until he gets to work and then use it as a convenient paper weight.

pointless purchase in my opinion, if you want an economical car there are cheaper options, that have more style and will depreciate less. Surely these must still cost more than 3k on an x reg? i was thinking of getting one once, also a toyota prius, but both have a lot of value to loose. Why not stick with a shitty seicento? i got one on a t reg for 900 quid.

he's trading in a 160bhp Civic VTi Coupe.

why would anybody do such a thing

Chris_R - 13/6/04 at 08:32 PM

beats me. If he'd just given me his car i could have laughed at him a lot and he wouldn't have even had to get in the thing.

When does he go for the sex change...

There's nothing smart about them. Girly hairdressers drive them round here. They finish where the back seat should be and the boot's not there either. At least it's got a roof.

Someone should stuff a turbo busa motor
in one. Now that would be smart

JoelP - 13/6/04 at 10:45 PM

funny how no ones clicked the 'wont pull' option, cos sad to say he probably would. Women often dont know one end from the other, and with a smart they might not even know the side from either...

Wouldn't matter if he could pull in it. Never be able to shag in the back of it.

"men" that drive hair dressers cars must hate it when they pull up at the lights,they get eyeballed by the man in the next lane who thinks shit i'm staring at a gay hairdresser

If my wife smacks the back of the mondey one more time I will buy her one so she can see out the back. The smart makes for a good run around in really congested city centers however it hell of a nervous @ any speed above 60 mph. We had a few of them to use as pool cars at work.
The gearbox is auto and makes for good traffic jamming. The thought of a hyabusa in one is scary but very tempting for the street sleeper aspect. Good tool for what its designed to do something a little bit differant , at least its differant to the thousands of econo boxes that get sold every year. Each to his own and to be enjoyed in much the same way we drive over powered rollerskates...cause its different.
