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. ...

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. ...

Bexhill Beach Party 2003
July 7, 2008
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. ...

The London to Brighton Run, Sunday 1st June 2003
July 1, 2008
The day had arrived, it was 7.30 am and the southern convoy from Southampton was on it’s way up the M3 to meet at the Kent starting point, Bluewater. We stopped at Fleet services for breakfast and to collect more smarties.
Arriving at Bluewater after one and half hours on the road, we were met by the vision of the smart Newbury Crossblade being driven by Mike (mcflurrysmart) around the entry road with Steve (mccsmart2002) in the passenger seat videoing our arrival.
Parking up with the other smarties already in the car park. We started to organise ourselves with printed direction of our route, short band radios which proved to be a must for anyone in convoy. Thanks to Paul (S2Murph) who lent me a spare radio. Then it was time for the group photo shoot. With this done it was time for the off. We took the A2 into central London where we were to meet with smaller groups of smarties waiting along the embankment....
