Motoflow Fuel Magnetic Installed On A Smart ForTwo
July 8, 2008
Improved power, fuel saving and better for the environment.
“She’s finally lost her mind!” I muttered to myself, as she raved on about this ‘magnet – thingy’ that you put on your car and it makes it go faster. I think I made the appropriate grunt in the right places to keep her thinking I was following her, and believed what she was saying. Well, she certainly believed it. Can it be true that I only married her in February, and here we are just a few months later, and she has already lost her marbles? “No-one warned me that this would happen,” I mumbled. ...

Modifying A Smart Roadster On the Cheap
July 8, 2008
Since purchasing my roadster I have steadily added bits to it, 1st thing I did was to fit some carbon fibre look mirror shells made by michalak. I also fitted some wide-angle mirrors not pretty but I am glad of them in traffic.
Then I painted the Speedo surround and gearshift and ignition surround using Halfords chrome paint however it has not come out in bright chrome finish more of a very shinny silver
After that I purchased two of the silver stalk end caps, which match quite nicely. ...

Smart Car London to Le Man 24 Hour Race
July 8, 2008
Some call us mad or insane for driving around in those “things” (ha ha), Well here’s the maddest of them all, London to Le Man for the 24hrs car race.
Starting off on a Monday afternoon and heading out from home in East London with a suitcase of clothes for the week sleeping bag and a Marshalling bag was fun in its self, just room for me. Setting the trip to 0 it was off I go through the Blackwall tunnel to meet up with the others at Maidstone service area on the M20 to avoid the nightmare that is the M2.
Pulling into the service area to a round of laughter and you are mad I tell them that I maybe mad but cheap. After a Fill up it’s off to get the 20:15 Sea France crossing (They are still doing the deal if you have crossed in your smart before). Oh well no duty free this trip theirs no room. We arrived in Calais at 22:30 Pete the one with the sleeping area on the back of his car has planed the route so its now a convey with me having the advantage of a Left hand drive car (not so mad now) was told your at the front oh well so I get told the top secret route it Haute Picarde for the night so off down the Peage at a cost of 10 euros but at least it got us a place to stop and food. ...

Smart London to Brighton Run 2003
July 8, 2008
Full of anticipation the couple in the numeric blue Smart City Coupe pass under the finish banner at Brighton and into the car park, smiling and waving to all.
I don’t know who they were but they looked like nice people. Jenny and I arrived some time before and never did get to the “finish”.
The Smartclub London to Brighton run has been eagerly awaited in the Broome household since the 02 event. Our [sorry Jenny’s] numeric blue City Coupe, known as M&M, “cos it looks like a blue one”, has been seen every where, Hambach, Billing, Bruntingthorpe, loads of meets and many more places besides. ...

London to Brighton Run Poem
July 8, 2008
The L2B 2003
It’s dark outside, time to get up
And get our outfits on
For it’s a very special day Today’s the BRIGHTON RUN!
The polish and the cloths are packed
The car inside is tidy
For hours we have worked on her
Our Smart is VERY shiny!
5.45 ~ its time to go
Speed off into the night
We meet a Smartie on the way
It’s starting to get light.
At Clacket Lane we meet more Smarties
Heading for the meet
We race along the motorway
Our Smartie ‘Tube’ complete.
We arrive at Kempton Park at last
The atmosphere’s electric
With smarts all colours, mods and tweeks
And some drivers, quite eccentric! ...

Mathew R Hall BA Hons (Sand)……… Honest…
Research Engineer for a medical device manufacturer based in Reading.
Bought Smart as a cheap and funky run-around after my 2.3 Audi 90… (How wrong was I????)
Other cars in my collection:

Previous cars owned, Audi 90 2.3, Vauxhall Astra 1.8SXi, VW Polo…
Background to the Gulf Smart.
I bought my Smart in the May of 2001; it was one of the limited edition Mk5 Pulse SEs in Bay gray. It wasn’t long before modifications were being made, first off, it was the GB air scoop, soon after came a Smart tune dump-valve and a Turbo boost gauge. At that point, I was happy with my shiny modified smart, little did I know what was about to happen? ...

First Smart Car Club México Meeting
July 8, 2008
We started to plan the Smart Club Mexico since March of this year, but we organized the meeting on September 20th because we wanted to meet as many Smarts as possible. The meeting was held at the Mall Perisur at Mexico City. We were expecting only seven smarts, but they started to arrive and when I looked again, we had 15 Smarts! We had 13 2001 City Coupes, one 2002 City Cabrio, one Second Generation City and one Roadster Coupe, these two were from Mercedes Benz.
We had the presence of people from Mercedes who explain to us about the “Welcome Package”, this is for the ones that bought the Smart to Importers prior to Smart officially launching in Mexico, it consists of a revision of the car and a Warranty and the service of 365 road side assistance.
I think that all the people that went to the meeting are happy about the realization of the Smart Club Mexico. We were from a baby with less than one year old to a couple of grown-up adults. ...
