New game- How many forfours can you spot
« on: August 05, 2018, 09:34:19 PM »

I drove 200 miles today and spotted one old 44 and one new one on the road. I was wondering how many miles per forfour spotted. Mine is 200/2 = 100 miles per forfour. What is yours? The cars need to be on the road- no cheating with Renault/ Mitsi dealerships!

There are 3 other ForFour 454's parked within 10 minute walk of my house plus my own. At least a couple of new model ForFours I have seen recently and on my road alone there is a ForTwo always parked and another which I see from time to time.

I think smart cars are a bit more common around these parts than elsewhere.

I saw one once in Romford Essex! Last month I was driving to Manchester and spotted two (250miles), one on my way and the other in the city.... I wish they say hi sometimes :/

I could add to JJ's post as I also see a black and gold W453 that
picks up/and drops off a passenger every day opposite my house...
and another black n blue one I see more or less every other day at
my local Tesco's..
(I'll let pass the fact I also see my 'ex-s' silver/blue Passion 454 every
week, and my daughters all silver Passion 454 every fortnight.)

G'day cecil,  In the 3.5 years i've had my forfour, the Smart cars i have seen i can count on 2 hands, and most of them were fortwo's.
As far as i know the forfours were never new imported in NZ, the ones that are here like mine are imported secondhand from Japan.
Greetings,
Eddie.

North West London - I regularly see 2 other 454's in my area and one of them is the exact same colour as mine (black & white)....Always gives me a bit of a shock when I see it driving around!

Looks like Pinner is the hotspot ( or near G). Think NZ is the rarest... all so far...

I'm guessing it would have to around the Rickmansworth/Watford area...
as that's where there'll be quite a few on their way to/from S2smarts  ;D
