Exciting New Smart Car Designs

August 22, 2008

Here at the Smartimes Magazine we encourage all of our readers to contribute what ever smart car related articles and content they feel the smart community would love to hear about.

With that in mind needless to say it’s very rarely that the Smartimes inbox is empty of new emails, but every now and then something stands out from the crowd that needs immediate attention.

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. ...

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! ...

Susie Saved In Yellowperil Incident

July 1, 2008

Dear Smartimes,

Ok here goes: - I am the Manager of a high street Jewellers – H Samuel.  On the Sunday morning April 27th about 1:00am, alarm activation at my store was reported to me. Two people have to attend & I informed my Assistant Manager off I duly went to the trusty stead – Yellowperil.  Had not got far probably 2 miles before I saw a flash and felt a bloody great bang – I can remember seeing a flash of a deer’s tail.  The journey to work is not bad, but I tend to go the old A1 road there – which is a back road and a bit bendy and has vegetation on both sides, and the A1 back.

I can tell you what I remember: - Confusion and had to get to my son, as he was home alone.  I scrambled out of a ditch and next thing I remember I was knocking on my neighbour’s house (luckily she is a nurse and her husband is an undertaker – taking no chances) and asking for help.  Apparently she cleaned me up and they took me to hospital.  I was assessed and put into a cubical (love those gowns)....

MY VISIT TO SMARTVILLE 2003

July 1, 2008

On the 10th May 2003, I set off with my lady friend in my smart car towards Dover for the start of our adventure.  We made our way towards the Travel Inn where we were to stay the night in order to catch the Hoverspeed Seacat early the next morning.  Many other ‘smarties’ were going in the same direction that cheerfully waved and flashed their headlights in recognition.  On arrival at the hotel others had already booked in and were making preparations to get a meal.  Having first filled up with fuel we then booked into our room and made ourselves comfortable.  On our way to the restaurant it was evident that it would be quite a sight seeing all these ‘smart’ cars driving in convoy as there were many parked up outside.  Having enjoyed a good meal and tasty wine the organisers gave a short briefing about the drive across France.  We then retired to our rooms for the night.

Sunday morning started early without breakfast as we all had to muster at 0715hrs.  Everyone appeared to have survived the evenings drinking and was ready to go on time.  The Seacat leaves promptly at 0800hrs and we all needed to be at the check-in area by 0730hrs.  Loading the cars was a swift operation and it was interesting how they squeezed over forty ‘smart’ cars plus other vehicles in.  The trip across was very smooth with the ‘cat moving at 35 knots and a crossing time of only fifty minutes.  Barely enough time to grab something to eat, drink and look round.  As we unloaded in Calais we all met up in a large car park to ensure everyone was together and ready to move....

Smartville: A Smart Place

June 30, 2008

Nestled in between an orchard and a cornfield on 168 acres, near the French town of Hambach, is an extraordinary factory known as ‘Smartville’. The full name for this particular factory is ‘Smartville Energy Centre’ and it is a very energy efficient car factory.

The Smart car was designed with the environment in mind and you can only make an environmentally friendly car from an environmentally friendly factory. Smartville is as globe friendly as a car factory can get- it even includes a nature reserve with rare species of plants and landscaping for hundreds of trees....
