Smart Car

2 be honest i prefere the new old minis. coz u cant beat the shape of an old mini

wouldn't european law make this possible?

You see loads parked like that in London. Well, some anyway.

I'm not an expert on european law, but I know one of my old clients (a german living in england) had a case against him dropped when he was caught parking his smart nose to curb (as its completely legal to park a smart car nose-to-curb throughout europe).

EU law

It's weird that it's illegal though, it doesn't exactly stick out very far!

Thats cos as soon as they breakdown they're hauled off to be squashed at the scrappy

i agree i wouldnt feel safe driving anything smaller than the ford ka i have at the mo (till i getmy new car which will hopefully be sooooonn)

Samrt cars actually score very highly in safety tests cos their body fram is solid, certainly much safer than a ford ka!

yeah good point. i hadnt looked into them that much! not something i would ever get! way too small to feel comfortable in, hense why im getting something bigger

Smart car roadsters are awesome

RIGHT

am not getting a smart car, i'm getting a mk5 polo as i think it is my duty to have at least 1 car with more than 2 seats and i need room to take my dogs places too.


P.S. The roadster is a total dogs, i like cars that dont look like a bulldog chewing a wasp....(god i havent heard that for years...lol)

Good call!

Daz, as for the Roadster....I thought you would have better taste, they're awful

I have a soft spot for them...they're like a toy car, i'd love driving one about.

SORRY, i meant to say the roadster is minging but from what i wrote when i was hammered it mde it sound like i was saying its the dogs...as in dogs bollocks....but its not it is a dog!

I hope that has cleared up any confusion i may have caused, and apologies for my error

smart cars are fucking terrible, theres nowt smart about them, theyre gimmicks. id rather have a new polo. better car all round.

me too, but out of the choices she gave, id go with the vw, i would not feel at all safe in that shit excuse for a merc.

What's the fascination with Polo's?:spangled:

it was one of her choices, polos arent bad, theyre nee golf but still canny.

I dont really like any of the newer shape golfs apart from the brand new one which i cant afford. The mk1 is the only really beautiful golf the exists.

I think the mk5 polo is the next best thing to the mk1 golf, the older polo's with round lights ans the new shape ones arent so nice.

But i am going off taste, reliability, and affordability

What!

Blasphemer

I love my mk3

IMHO the Mk5 is the best

i'm sorry but i just dont like the look of the mk3 most out of all of them, then the mk4, then the mk2, then mk5, and then mk1 reigns supreme....lol
