Smart Fortwo

Was walking along Hunter St in the City this morning on my way to work. There was this black Smart ForTwo took off from the traffic lights and when he upchanged to 2nd gear, there was a "psshhhtt"....

I know they are are little 3 cyl turbos but a BOV in a little Smart??

Death trap? I always wondered about this. What exactly would happen to a Smart in an accident? Mercedes claim it's super safe. So I found out:

It turns out it doesn't crumple into a small cube, it just gets kicked around like a football. Hillarious.

either way... i've felt safer

There were a pair of these things doing laps of surfers one night... both had blow off valves.. both looked like wankers.

hopefully both got bashed and/or laughed at.

smart cars are turbo, and even though they are as slow as all f*ck, they're illeagle for P platers in some states, while things like S2000's still remain legal

Not true. the turbo smarts are exempt along with Suzuki Cappucino and Daihatsu Copen

both those videos are great. That second one is amazing, some cars you can't jack one side without a door not being able to close properly...thats amazing.

There are some companies that will let you rent a Smart ForTwo at $5 a day, but they're covered in advertising so you need to fit their "location criteria".

I was tempted to put myself down for one, and if I could rent one for a few days get a custom catback made up (with no mufflers), a super-loud BOV, and one of those massive PC speaker kit that I could power off the ciggie lighter and go cruising the city on a Friday night in it.

I rent one when i had my holiday in gold coast for 4 days.

The car is actually pretty fast once the turbo kicks in

but the lag is horrible and the g-box make thing even worse

Gf used to nag me to buy her one, not anymore
