I have been in the smart car with Mark. Was surprised as how much room there is. Cool little car actually. I used to slag them off rotten until i actually got in one

I still have my poous run around van
I have had the dis pleasure of fixing a brabas smart car and driving it I can assure you it IS a noddy car lol
Mark Noddy shead
When we went to norris designs last for a dyno day me and dave were heading straight back to mark's unit, and he went via mcdonalds, we were sat on the motorway at about 80mph and he came absolutely fucking flying past in his smart with a big grin on his face, so he doesnt just own one, he actually enjoys owning it

when he told me he had one he said this new one is ace ,this is my third
I did say to him you shouldn't have told me that look on pf later I shan't take the piss too much he just laughed.
My mate @ 6'7" fits in one no probs. However, regardless of whether you fit or not, you still have the problem of catastrophic understeer..... Every corner has to be tackled by turning-in on the brakes, ease of till past apex, then power on. Seems to be a problem of rear-biased weight distribution, tiny front tyres, and a very short + softly sprung chassis - as soon as you accelerate all the weight goes to the back and the front wheels go light.....They suck.
I'm 6'4" and i i've always quite fancied a smart car... no seriously!
I am on my 3rd one they are crapbut they are also great the new one is deff the best of the lot, but not as cute looking as the prev models.
Would I buy a 4th one hell yes.

Reason I ask is that he s my bosses brother, my boss mentioned to him that I have a Cosworth. He said he sold a smart car to someone in your neck of the woods that had a few of these in his garage and specialised in tuning them. He went onto describe a car that sounded like Yum.Small world if it was you.
