Stuart on another forum I used to chat on the guys usually gave a clue in this format:

Eg.: Volkswagen Lupo GTI or Lotus Seven

Then the clue would be:

Maybe you could help us out?

few more questions for you Stuart;

1) Is it a main stream motor - i.e. production volume car (i.e. your not replacing the Westie are you?
2) Is it currently in production?

Kaine
 
Hi Kaine,

1) Yes (although you don't see many of them around)
2) Yes

Stuart.

Well done Kaine and Ian, you both got it right!

I have purchased a Smart Fortwo Cabrio Brabus!
The full spec is:

- Black exterior

- Electric roof
- Electric windows
- Air con
- Power steering
- 6 speed automatic or semi-automatic mode
- Paddle shifts on steering wheel
- Upgraded sound
- CD Player
- Front fogs
- Traction Control
- ABS
- Brabus turbocharged engine
- Lots of other Brabus goodies
- 50-60 mpg
+ loads more

Quite a lot packed into a small car don't you think?
I'll post some real photos when I get it next week, but this gives a rough idea...

Better move loyalties then to www.thesmartclub.co.uk and www.funkysmart.co.uk! Loads of info there for smart owners and I expect to see you at Billing Aquadrome for the annual Funkysmart event on the first weekend in July!! We've had smarts for four years - currently have a Passion Cabrio with the same spec as your Brabus, apart from the wheels and ours is red and silver. We've had a remap taking the power up to similar levels of the Brabus! BTW with 75ish bhp you won't be getting 50-60 mpg!!!! BTW I've heard good reports from smart owners about MSN insurance.
 
Be careful on the corners then - the Smart went straight on when TopGear(?) did a cornering test!

I'm a big fan of the original Smart car (ForTwo). I test drove one before the A2 and really liked it. Though I wasn't too sure if it was the kind of car I wanted to drive 500 miles a week in.
But it's interesting you've chosen the Smart.....you must like buying cars that the manufacturer doesn't make any, or very little, money on...also like the A2 ;) There were even threats that Mercedes were going to stop production of the Smart, though that is looking less likely now, thankfully. Must also admit to really not likely the new ForFour. A Mitsubishi Colt in drag isn't part of the same design ethos as the ForTwo IMHO. Out of interest, were you tempted by the Fiat Panda?

2004 1.4 TDi (90) SE, Cobalt Blue, Climate control, Cruise control, DIS, Sport seats, Winter pack, Symphony II.
 
No I'm not a big fan of Fiats! and I agree that the ForFour is pretty nasty especially in non matching exterior trim!

I went for the fortwo brabus cab because I wanted a car that would fit in my garage without me having to clear out all the baby junk that is in there! Also, I have a 20 mile commute to work on which can only be described as the dullest roads in Britain and there is no alternative route so I wanted something to make the journey more interesting. In addition, I wanted a convertible that was fun to drive and a little special (I refuse to conform just yet!). It's an added benefit that I might get some moderately decent fuel economy out of it, although I have to admit that if I thrash it as much as I did on the test drive, then it's probably unlikely!

Have already joined thesmartclub forum, but they are a miserable bunch so don't imagine I'll be spending much time there!
