THE FESTIVAL IS TOMORROW EVERYONE........

A FINAL reminder....

Here's the link to the ForFour rendezvous point for the 'tube/parade/convoy'
of ForFours into the event.  Would those attending please try to make it.
http://www.forfour.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2159.0

This tube/parade/convoy is the only way we can get as many ForFours
as possible grouped together in one spot/place at the Festival.  8)

I'll see you all there... ;)

I'm leaving everyone who attended to write up their own impression of today
at the SmartFestival, and to post all their photo's !
Why, you may well ask ?  Well...for 3 reasons actually...
1/ because JJ wasn't around to share n mix it with everyone with me and so give
    me the time take some photos.
2/ because I had so many people to see and talk to.
3/ because it makes a change for someone else other than JJ or I to do it !

But, when LadyV+Fox both mentioned something to me that I never
thought MB would ever do, namely openly display a massive silhouette of
a Smart ForFour for all to see on one of their outside walls, I just had to
to take this picture (on my camera phone)....... Enjoy....



I'd like to thank all those that made it to the rendezvous and paraded in at 10am...
8 of us in fact....which was a lot fewer than the 17 we had last year...
Thanks to all the others that did eventually manage to turn up.....(Brulaw included).
It's a shame some of the others we expected didn't show....but hey, there's always next year !

I think the weather the day before put a lot of people off, at Smart of Croydon there were about SIX cars rather than the long, long line there usually is.

It was a good day, startling weather and lots to do, however there weren't many traders this year at all. Good time nonetheless. Going through pictures now, I didn't take my camera this year as I expected rain but LadyV got a few.

It turned out to be a good day , we only just missed the " convoy " ( I think ) , I'm really glad I decided to go , It was worth the effort just to see the forfour FINNALY  get some recognition from MB  ;D

What a great day - and lovely to meet some of you guys and put faces to names.

Keith - you have started Nora talking about getting a Brab to replace Oogley in a year or two.............

The day was awesome, the kids loved it and although there wasn't as many Smarts as I thought there would be we had a great day and stayed right until the end.  Looking forward to next year!

Oh, and won on the Smart Club raffle and got a load of car cleaning goodies!

Couldn't agree more.  Faces to names brings things to life and the convoy was a great idea and made the Forfours have a presence.  We counted about two dozen in total when we went for a wander round. Attached are a couple of photos we took of the convoy group:

Wow that's pretty nice to see the forfour being recognised as part of the family. I don't suppose though that it has anything to do with MB wanting to get the marque into the minds of people in advance of the upcoming relaunch..?

Sad I couldn't be there. I'll be more active next year.
