Ug? Hello from Olde Leigh on the Thames

[Lurch]

Actually I havent even collected my 2008 Smart 71bhp pocket rocket yet but should be up n at_urm in the next week. Wish me luck or join me for a cigar n cockles sometime.
I still can't get over how great these little beasts feel to drive. Hope at 59 I'm not too old to pose in it though. Keep up the good work re-doing this site.

As long as you are on the north side of the grave, you are never too old to have fun with cars. Sixty eight here and playing in my garage with my old cars is what keeps me going. Also, fine looking smart you have, be proud.

[Lurch]

Oldgit - thats one helloVa nice Smart. Looks fast parked too.

Here is my 2009 US spec smart Brabus coupe with many mods.

[Lurch]

now thats nice. what rims/tyres are those and will they last the ''pot hole'' challenge? hope so.

[Z06-LITE]

Thanks, Lurch. They are 7.5x17 Brabus VII wheels with Hankook Ventus H4 215/35-17 tires on all four corners. That is the stock size for the rear of the US spec Brabus. I just bought two more for the front. I never liked the staggered look from smart. I am sure the smallest pothole would eat my wheels in a nano second with the short profile tires. So far, though, no wheel damage in almost six years.

[be99er]

also a newbie - that smart car looks amazing!

[Z06-LITE]

Not sure which smart you are referring to, but I will say "Thank You" in case you were talking about my Brabus. Also, welcome from Florida, USA.
