as above please, i know its not a ford but i would like to know what everyone thinks

 

God help anyone who has a crash in one

 

shite

 

had a play in a brabus roadstercoupe and thought it was ok.....tho well expensive at Ł17600

 

There fooking great, had to sign one up for a club. Drove it round Liverpool for the afternnoon, had so much fun

 

my missus wants one ! that says it all for me (she likes corsa's aswell)

 

If your female or a homo then fine

else leave them alone

 

there ment too be a good car to crash in says that euroNCAP test thingy

 

As long as its got a GSX-R or R1 engine in it, then Im sure it will be fine.......

 

Love my one one of the most fun car's I have driven. I crashed mine at speed and it didnt do to badly at all

 

i reecon they r kool!

Gareth's mrs has got 1 & I was surprised when I sat in it that I fitted with ease! Its got a dump valve 7 17s aswell!

I have always wanted to get me & a m8 to park wither side of 1 when they r parked the wrong way in a space get real close to the doors so they cant get in!

 

cool, thinking of getting one, does anyone know how tunable they are

serious tho

 

The are cool if u do a lot of town driving etc

 

mine would be for alot of driving, from london to oxford most weekends

 

need I say any more

 

Wouldnt like to do stints like that in one

Big is best in my book

 

yea dunno if i would wanna doserious traveling in 1!

espcially @ higher speeds!

get a big diesel m8!

 

A local girl died in one a couple of weeks ago in a low speed accident due to their complete lack of safety!

 

They're well easy to break into, all the panels are interchangeable and you can pop the front quarters off and get into them in about 10 seconds.

They're actually quite good mate, I think the engines are fairly tuneable too, there's one up the guildford cruise that's about 90 bhp and has a dumpvalve so it must be fast.

By LAW though, you have to have neons on them.

 

if its law to have neons i'll give it a miss, unless i can have wanker lights aswell?!?!?!

can you fit 20" spinners? and can i fit 10 exhausts, looking at fitt a cossie whale tail and arches too

 

Didnt they win best gay car it was that lass that does the motoring colum in the Sun newspaper that said this just the other day

 

R1 powered one mate

 

smart cars are cool, new beetles are britains gayest car

 

I beg to differ. I've seen a Mark 3 fiesta, painted green [with poster paints by the look of it] its running on twin 40's and would probably win the countrys gayest car award.

 

YOU POOF!


alex

 

it wont look like that any longer

got a turbo engine and a set of escos wheels for it

 

still thinking of a mini tho

Ive had 2 smart cars, first one was a Smart Passion and the second one was a Smart Pulse (special edition version).

Altho I did have a little 'mishap' with the glass roof on the second one, this was the only issue I could complain about. Once you get used to the set up (ie: the lag on the turbo) then they are really good fun to drive. Extremely economical - even with me (Miss Lead Foot) behind the wheel.

For tuning bits and bobs take a look at:

http://www.smarttune.co.uk/index.php

when I had mine, Samrt tune used to do all kinds of replacement bits to tune the engine, they were also the first people to develop the Smart Dump Valve lol Very helpful people to deal with.

I have actually just this minute had my confirmation through for my new car from work; Smart Roadster Speedsilver.......... it'll be here end of October so if you want a drive in it gimme a shout

 

Oh and as far as the safety goes............ the Smart Trididon (the silver or black chassis) is 3 times stronger than an average car chassis. Altho they are small, you are very well protected so if someone tells you they are not safe, ask them how the hell it got through the UK safety laws with flying colours?!

When they were first launched, the only safety issue was with the rear light as when smashed, they broke up into sharp pieces. These have now been modified to shatter on impact.

 

cheeRS sweet heart


im still thinking about one

 

 

Sticker Paul, if i do get one i want to to tiger stripe it like tiffs

it'll be white of course

 

We've got a Barabus Smart Fortwo and a Barabus Smart Roadster sat in the carpark at the mo that I would take photos of............. by Spiky has my digicam! lol

We've also got a normal Smart Forfour out the front but its black and grey and looks cack............ but the all black one doesn't look that bad at all, not sure what it drives like yet, still gotta nab the keys for one.

 

No you want it Bright PINK like i did to that Smart Car



Havent the Smart Cars got Inter changeable panels

 

bit of a colour but nice

 

heres my girlfriend,, i personally think it is well cool,, hold there money really well! great fun! my girlfirend always smiles when shes in it,,, all other smart car owners beep at you

 

looks nice that GARETH T on the merc rims

was it easy to fit the 5 stud hub?

 

f for the people who are saying they are death traps in a crash, this isn’t really true Euro ncap ratings are graded on how much force the dummys have to suffer in an impact. Due to its small size The shell of the smart is very very strong, the only reason that people would suffer severer or fatal injuries in one of these is that because they are so strong they don’t really have crumple zones hence the occupants sustain quite a harsh force on impact. But no car is tested above 40mph anyway so if you hit something at 60mph I don’t think it would make much difference if you where in a smart or a fiesta.

I personally think they are great little cars, although I don’t fancy doing lots of motorway driving in one

 

Mercury_Magic_S2, simple mate,, theres a conversion kit for them which it tuv approved

 

SMART CARS great if ur a female or a
