New baby SL: smart roadster

My brother took delivery of his new smart roadster today, only the second in the UK, apparently. Certainly I've never seen one before. It is totally cool. It is very nippy (although not fast) and sounds lush, like a little racing car. Under throttle it sounds like a 911; on gear changes you can hear the waste gate chatter. It is equipped with a 600cc 3cylinder turbo motor and a 6-speed sequential box. It is fab. Enjoy.

















Apologies if you've already read this post in Open Discussion.

That thing rocks!! How much does it weigh? How old do you have to be to drive it? I wish I had one of those when I was a kid, or even a young adult.

These cars were written up in "The Star" about 3 issues back. They have a web site with all the information. If I find the URL when I get home, I'll amend it to this post. It didn't Google. Tod
