Smart Car Poker Run
October 17, 2008
What is it?
It will be called the “smart cards” but it is really a poker run for those of you with bikes.
It is an opportunity for smart owners to do something fun together, enjoy each other,
enjoy their cars, and help the Clinton County Boys and Girls Club 1100 West Green
Street Frankfort, Indiana as part of a fundraiser
What do we do?
We will meet at the Clinton County Boys and Girls Club at 11am and then go on (The
first ever that I know of) smart poker run. It will depart at 1pm
The Clinton County Boys and Girls Club will host a chili lunch as part of the fundraiser
from 11 until first car out.
We will drive our cars down a scenic, planned, marked, and mapped route it is about 100
miles total basically as a group.
We will pull our first card at the Clinton County Boys and Girls Club, stop at 3 scenic
places along the route and pull cards, then finally we will stop at The Burlington Scoop
(ice cream / pizza parlor in Burlington) to pull our 5th and final card of the poker run.
Then determine the winner of the best hand. Winner will get some money ($25.00 or so).
This money can be donated back to the Boys and Girls Club if you choose
What will be the highlights?
1. A drive down the smooth and curvy Mulberry – Jefferson blacktop
2. A drive up the very scenic south river road between Georgetown and Logansport.
The trees are so old and so big that they grow over the road
3. Drive across the covered bridge just outside of Cutler
4. See Adams Mill a very cool turn of the century corn mill that is a now a museum
5. Drive down a curvy scenic path between Cutler and Burlington
6. Try ice cream or dinner at Scoops
7. So many smart cars together
8. So many smart owners doing something good for a worthy cause (Boys and Girls
Club)
9. Start a smart trend
10. Maybe some prizes (we are working on it)
11. Photo ops, photo ops
What is the cost?
1. Smart cards drive (poker run) will be $10.00 per person playing (remember ALL
money goes to the Boys and Girls Club
2. Boys and Girls Club lunch (has not been decided yet but maybe around $5.00)
(remember ALL money goes to the Boys and Girls Club)
3. Ice cream or pizza at Scoops your on your own – I am trying to get them to donate
a portion of the profits (like 10%) to the Boys and Girls Club as well, we are still
in negotiations
When is it?
November the 9th

This being said we have just received an email from a regular Smartimes reader showing us that the smart car really can appeal to anyones taste in cars with just a little modification.
We are not sure of the original source for these images but we thank the creative individual behind them for this fantastic look at the smart cars that might never be!
Thank you to Nevit for this contribution, we hope you enjoy these photos and please keep the contributions coming.

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. ...

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????)

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. ...

On the beach at Bexhill one Saturday afternoon in August. That is where Funkysmart, thesmartclub, Sussex Smarts and a few S2Crew members got together to have a beach party as a post “Billing” get together.
Organised by Tom Crawford, a Bexhill local, many that attended traveled from the north and east to attend, camping over night on a local campsite while one or two sort the comforts of a local B&B.
Berkshire, Sussex and Kent were represented and I myself traveled up for the day from Hampshire. The plan was simple, evening BBQ on the beach, convoy (tube) through nearby Eastbourne at 9 pm and back to the beach for further BBQ, games and a few drinks. ...
