 I quite like the Smart car just for the novelty of it.

Well Rick, they say "Great minds think alike".....
I was going to say a Cobra, but you beat me to it!
Sexy little cars, aren`t they? I fancy a blue one with black interior and white stripes.

A Cobra would be in my top 5 but a 1963 Corvette Stingray would do nicely!  |

When the Pantera was first introduced,
I was looking one over in Detroit, Michigan. I was stunned by the sticker on the dashboard...
WARNING! Keep windows closed at speeds in excess of 180 MPH!

A friend had a Smart car and loved it, but it was really too small for him. So when he built his Model T rod, he got a set of seats from a Smart car and fitted those to the rod. He says that they are most comfy seats he's ever sat on.
Bit off topic, but .......

| Dont forget the Smart Roadster as well...I believe that its going to be put in production again, as I have been told that another company have bought the rights. Dont know how true that is, but it could be fun! |

| i'm currently brainstorming a plan for a homebuilt Mercer or Stutz Bearcat homage vehicle. i'm considering late '50's pickup truck running gear on a scratchbuilt frame with engine/gearbox moved back appropriate distance. since it won't be a direct copy i would use a honking truck 6 cylinder engine and an overdrive gearbox. just a pipe dream for the moment... |
