forfour parking...... ;-)

Some pictures too! http://photobucket.com/tsc5thbirthday - my main memory of the day was being right behind the Jaguar XJR safety car on the track at Gaydon, supposed to be doing something like 50mph. Well the driver was bored and put his foot down. And so did I, in my forfour BRABUS, five up and right on his tail. Apparently he was surprised a smart was keeping up with him. Not sure how fast we went but i'm sure it was in the 110's ;-)

You mean MY car :P It's starting to look a wee bit different now too.

Excellent pics, I always love to see what people have done to individualise their Smarts; it's a shame more Forfours don't do the same!  And the parking too... I might try that at work between all the passenger cars waiting to pick up.

All good stuff  'Ant'...
Also...is good that one of the links has my CDi in it..driving past in the procession at
SmartTimes 2012...complete with 'the sound' it makes on decelerating.  First time
I've heard it from the outside. Just need a vid with sound of it on acceleration now.  ;D

Good idea matey.....And I've now got a GoPro2 camera that all the professionals seem to be
using...the same one as they have on free fall parachutists helmets and the like....
When I get it back from Rob (after his upcoming ForTwo race at Spa) I'll see if we can
organise a little session for those interested.   Could well be fun.....
