A not quite so newbie...
Hey chaps & chapettes.
So the draw of the Smart was too great in the end... I'm afraid I'm back in the fold almost 8 years later. After an incident with a pothole, it dawned on me that owning an 8 year old shopping hatch wasn't the best financial proposal in the world, and it doesn't look great when turning up at meetings etc. Spent ages deliberating over models & specs. Found the 54cdi too noisy and the coupe just a little too plain. So in the end I went a bit silly and it wasn't a decision I made with my head. I picked up my new (71) Passion Cab from Smart in Gatwick on Tuesday and myself & the missus have fallen deeply in love with it- despite the 5 degree heatwave the top hasn't been up for a whole day yet!
For those who don't remember I had an 02 Pure back in the days of funkysmart which I ruined in typical adolescent fashion, so I think the trick with this one will be to not mess with it. Probably best to get all the "re-packing cat's" jokes out in the open and apologize to people I may have alienated (Kane - Evilution in particular...)!
Anyways, will post pics later when I've washed the road salt from it- but very glad to be back.
