The Smart Roadster thread had me thinking, so I was out on a test drive in a Brabus today.

The tail shot out going at a very moderate speed on a roundabout, felt nicely balanced and easy enough to control though.

Saleswoman gave me a telling off though

(Still has a pants gearbox and it's too noisy on the motorway btw :>)

 

its still there???? front end caved in wheels akimbo.would have thought it would have been wisked away by now.

obviously the pmsl doesnt help if the driver is crap and rams the back of another car.

 

Thought they minimised the risk of that by driving 1" off the bumper of the car in front, so no speed differential can build up.

Middles, like it!

If you can't take the heat, sell new 'houses' instead!

 

Its actually the A470 syndrome. No matter how good a driver car, youhave/are, you have a higher chance of crashing due to the constant pointless roadworks that are always going on on it. Bloody RCT trying to spend their budget!

 

just passed it again after picking up the kids.

3 dodgy looking guys trying to tow it away with a range rover.1 of them must be the owner as the drivers door is open.

whats wrong with the rac,aa etc???

 

Probably borrowed for a weekend test drive

 

did you get the reg?

it will be on ebay in a few weeks

 

I was passed by a TVR Chimera on the A1 today doing 90 (I was doing 60 in the Mazda with a boot full of amplifiers), there was so much standing water I was half expecting to see it crashed further down the road.

 

Done about 7 hours driving today, all in the Mondeo, did between 60 and 90 all day.

Well apart from the mph bit due to rubber necking of an incident on the otherside of the road on the M1 which made our side do 5mph

God I hate that

 

3 times you've been by it now and still no pics
