New Smart Owners Guide

[phildperv]

There have been a few post for a while now about why dont smart owners wave anymore , well how are new owners suposed to know the ins and outs of smart ownership.

With that in mind I have made the document below to explain to new owners the rudimentary basics of driing a smart on the road , and it my intention to post this when a new member posts in the welcome section.

Please feel free to have a look , its in PDF format . 307kb , its the first draft so should get a few proof readers creaming thier pants . Its also Islam friendly and can be printed on low salt high fibre paper.

If fact you dont dealers print it off and pop it in the glove box of a new smart :smile:

As a new smart owner and I was very disappointed to find this download doesn't work. I would have loved to read it judging by the comments on here.

Having recently aquired my first Smartie, does this document still exist????

Re: New Smart Owners Guide

You were the one who mentioned "proof readers" !! I just pointed out he thing that I noticed.

You're the author, so I'll leave it up to you to change or not.....

Re: New Smart Owners Guide

The use of the word "you're" SMARTIE is incorrect... The abreviation means it should read "you are". Obviously in the context of the sentence, "your are SMARTIE...." is wrong. So the correct word to use would be "your".

Secondly, does the entity DCUK still exist? I thought Crysler had been dropped?

other than that, I think it is a good document, but I wonder how you are going to get it into peoples SMARTs? If you hand them out at the various SMART rallies / meeting you are really preaching to the converted! The only real place they need to be handed out, would be the dealerships, but I doubt many dealers would want to put one of these into each new SMART they sell.

Yep your/you're/ure right , I'll get on to those points right away :hipc:








No I mean it ,










any moment now .....

Re: New Smart Owners Guide

I agree with your comments. I have owned a new smartie for three weeks, i live in poole, in that short time of owning my smartie i have passed eleven smart cars in that erea. only one has waved back. the others look at you as though you are some sort of alien.
ok i am strange but not bloody strange.

Re: New Smart Owners Guide

Great stuff. My wife waved at a fellow Smartie the other day and couldn't understand why they looked so puzzled; until she realised that she was in our "other car".
Recently a woman on a bike waved feverishly at us, Perhaps she'd forgotten she was not in her Smart.
