What are we driving - Page 2

I drive a 1.1 metro 'S' which I like to think stands for sports as it even has a funny little spoiler, i think its called a flair! I love it to bits even tho it only has 3 hubcaps and lots of rusty bits and sometimes doesnt start when i need it the most!but the only problem is it has never really had a name, anyone got any suggestions???

Luckily we have a Smart Rapid Response Force just ready and waiting to gang up on any Ford Explorers who want to start something!!

I am trying to find the images of the day we took 200 down the M1 in colour co-ordinated convoy and took over the motorway.

Shame it'd take the rapid response force three hours to get out of that car park

Chris · 22 Feb 2006, 11:33

From sounding the Prepare Signal (First verse of the Smart Song) to the last car taking it's handbrake off and setting off was just over 21 minutes!!!
There is a heck of a lot of planning goes into these events!!

I suppose that in theory, you can get twice as many Smarts out of a car park in that time than you could a normal car, as they're only half the size

Hypnobabe · 22 Feb 2006, 12:42

Jeanie, it's a Peugeot 206 CC, there is also a 306 CC available, but mine's nicer

This is it with the roof down... not my own, unfortunately, but mine is silver like this one!

Thanks for the info, Hypnobabe.

I guessed it wasn't something available in this country (Canada), as I've not seen one before. I may have to start car shopping overseas.

That group Smart Car pic is neat, Chris.

We only have the Smarts that look like yours so far. It's neat to see that they come in other styles as well. I get a big kick out of seeing them on the road, as they are such wee little things.

I've just had a red 'Biffa' bin delivered to work and that too only has 3 wheel trims, so maybe you called call your car Biff

Do they come in different colours Keab42? I rather like the way they're colour co-ordinated with the carpet!

I might have the pleasure of taking delivery of a new fork truck at work, will that count? ( I think it will be the closest I get to getting a brand new vehicle!!)
