Stretched Smaaaaaaaaaaaart

Strange...

 

pointless mangling of a classic design...

just cos you can, doesn't mean you should...

I had one, and I'm proud to say it!

 

Classic design it might be.....I stil wouldn't want to wack one in to a lorry.

YOu'd stand no chance.

The first thing that comes to mind when I look at a one of them.





Not for me, ta.

 

...those were the days when cars looked and were made like cars.

That motor towed a family of five around the UK during 70s...often pulling a c'van....+bits...




edit; the arm is mine...you don't want to see the rest

 

Their other designs.

 

Thats no way of treating a Range Rover..

Haven't looked any further

That should be a criminal offence IMO

 

They have Ferrari in their portfolio as well :yikes:

Oh, and a 4 door Bugatti, but that is just a concept and doesn't look too bad.

Dare you look?

 

No.






What a ******* waste!

Sorry, but that will ahve totally destroyed the cars finely engineered qualities ...




:chop:




:beamup:

 

I've added the pictures to save you the trouble .

 

You might be surprised - the Smart performs very, very well in the crash tests!

We've just got one for a new office pool car, to complement the Hybrid Civic we run. It's really rather more fun, too.

 

Ok but how much metal have you got in front to you in that smart car..........and how much in the volvo??

hmmmm......

 

thankyou.....

 

Yup, did very well in Top Gear (or was it 5th Gear?) crash test.

 

Indeed they do - I've got one and love it, £30 a year to tax. And that was after 15 years of driving a Jag (which I still have but rarely use - I can park the smart easy, it does almost 60 to the gallon, it goes like the clappers, I can get the dog in the back - just).

On safety they bounce apparantley if in a collision - fortunately I haven't had to test this!

 

''goes like the clappers'' ??? how crap is your jag?

The smart Brabus does 0-62 in 10 seconds.

The normal smart does it from 15 to 18 seconds depending if you pick the really really tiny engine or just the very small one... with a top speed of 85!

My diesel jag gets me to 60 in just under 8, and tops out about 150mph.

The v8 x-type will get you to 60 in 6.


Sorry, I agree with all the easy to drive, economy aspects but ''goes like the clappers'' ?? - it goes like a moped.

 

Lol! Maybe it just feels like you are . Mind you, my two vehicles are a diesel van and a 1.4 Nissan, so 0-60 in 10secs really is going like the clappers to me .
