Guess what I am doing for my birthday?

[BodwadUK]

I am test driving a Smart Roadster on the 9th of March as I have taken the day off for my birthday. How cool is that??

[mendhak]

On a scale of 1 to 10, about a 4.5

since it was your birthday...i will give you 5

[BodwadUK]

You are funkyless people you know that dont you

Very cool. Have a good one. Would be even cooler if...

1. You were test driving it around Donington Park.
2. There is a hot naked chick in the passenger seat.

I suspect neither of these will occur though.

[BodwadUK]

A) I am in Notts and they arent going to let me drive that long
B) I am in Notts there is no such thing

I have tried, and god knows I've tried, to make you see sense by getting a NICE car.

Perhaps a Civic type-R,
Puma,
Astra Sport,
MGF-T,
206 Sport

But not a roadster!!!!

[BodwadUK]

I liked the Puma but it is too popular and I couldnt really sense the speed. Hence too expensive on speeding tickets

The others are boring square pieces of metal with about as much creative style as a dead fox under a Weetabix lorry

[Ecniv]

Can't you pretend to be a millionaire and test drive say a ferrari or if that looks bad, try a p1 subaru impreza ?? They are meant to be nice... very nice.

[System_Error]

He forgot to add that he was ordering 3 male prostitutes later in the night.

[BodwadUK]

Because i might buy the smart not a ferrari

Guess what I am doing for my birthday?

Digging yourself a hole and crying?

[Xcoder]

with that car youre going to pick up teenagers and freaks, why dont you take a mans car like an escalade or a hummer2 and try picking up softspoking night ladies.

[BodwadUK]

Because I dont want to kill them with the fumes or look like i am making up for something!!!

Have you ever been in an escalade? I have (in a showroom). It is the worse 'luxury' car I have ever seen. Plasticy interior, hard cheap seats, squishy suspension (you can tell that just jumping in the back!). RUBBISH! They are only £35,000 new too. What a pile of crap, you'd think rappers would buy something a little more expensive to show off their wealth.

Hummers are better but they still suck.

[BodwadUK]

GO WOSSY

MUMRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

wossy youre missing the point. The point is not the car, the car is the medium.

If you want women, the car must be the top priority..I suggest a rusty brown 1969 pinto station wagon -- a true pimp mobile

on a scale of 1 to 10, I say it's cool
heh sounds like a lot of fun... I want to drive one of those cars too

[dglienna]

I drove a $600K Mercedes around a test track. Damn traction control sucked. The back end broke loose around a pylon, and I though the car was going to hit a generator that was there. Thankfully, it missed, and nobody saw it. I can just imagine having to pay for the next 26.8 years! Be careful !

[BodwadUK]

It goes on their insurance and its not a test track

[dglienna]

i had to sign a waiver and show proof of insurance. almost drove it into a wall on purpose. hell, for what i'd pay I might as well wreck it and pay a little longer.
I drove the most expensive one instead of the fastest one.

they ony gave you 50 yards for the acceleration section (from a standstill) and this think was like a tank. got up to 30 mph or so, and had to turn.

Still it was fun. Can''t say I'll every\ be driving one again.

[Valleysboy1978]

Bod, I hope you are not considering a new one?
At 16k that is a big time rip-off.

For that price you could get the new fiesta. 150hp!!!!
I took it for a test drive and it scared the living **** outta me. It was phenomenal!
Apparently the 0-60mph is 7.5secs, and I could believe it. I already got one on order!

And think of it this way, for the price of a new roadster, you could have the fiesta(climate control, CD player, deadlocking etc.) with sports kit!

Not having a go Bod, coz if you like the roadster then good for ya, but test drive as many cars as you can. This is a massive purchase and you got to have it for at least 3 years so have something that will:
A) Keep it's value
B) Not need maintenance
C) Fun to drive
D) Secure

Of course you can't get more secure than a roadster....coz no thief would be caught dead driving one!!

[BodwadUK]

Im not buying new that is a rip off

[Valleysboy1978]

Cool, check out the roadster prices that are two-three years older than what you're looking at. Will give you an idea of depreciation.

[Sgt-Peppa]

Of course you can't get more secure than a roadster....coz no thief would be caught dead driving one!!

Bodwad bashing is so much fun!!!!

[BodwadUK]

The security is very good especially the immoboliser (SP?) because 3 parts are sync'd together apparently and all have to be enabled and cant be replaced without correct software and connection.

The fiesta is a boring looking car and not as funky. I dont know why I just want to be differant for a change. I test drove a Puma and it didnt feel like it was going very fast which removes the point of speed if you ask me

[Valleysboy1978]

You'd rather feel the car rattling around like mad when it reaches 70mph
Immobiliser's are standard now so don't worry about that. Only some have deadlocking, which shuts down the starter motor if a window is broken when it's locked. Stops anyone driving away with it.

What about the Mazda's? They make pretty sweet cars

[BodwadUK]

Roadster is convertable too much better than a fiesta

Mazda's are womens cars. The small ones are anyway


You need to feel the speed or whats the point of a sports car. Smart roadster is made to be fun to drive not just fast and boring

[Tom_Sample_UK]

10 i love them cars

This must be a european thing. I assume the Fiesta is not the Ford Fiesta. That would be making a statement like: "I have no taste" crossed with "My diet consists of roadkill and cigarette butts."

[BodwadUK]

Well I am now the proud owner of one. Had it for just over a week and love it.
