The Best of France & Italy Car Show (A smart Rally!!)

Vivent la révolution! Let's go!

For a background discussion on this take a look at "Smart Banned From French & Italian Car Show"

To synopsize. I started that discussion to try to see if people thought we were ""French enough" to take part in this show: The Best of France & Italy."

Instead the discussion devolved into at political diatribe.

OK, we may not be a French car, but we definitely are assembled in France and fine examples of "The Best of France..."

So let's get back to the basics:
Someone said who is included is up to the organizer of the show and if I don't agree with her decision I should start my own show. He's right. But for now...

Even the promoter of this show has said she welcomes us smarties parking together in the parking lot.

And one of you suggested the following:

2005smartcdi ...


SO: Let's go! We can put placards on our windshields proclaining "Nous sommes smart et nous venons de France" (We are smart and we come from France!)

ARE YOU WITH ME? By the way the show is fantastic and really fun.

I can be reached at dsoukup@msn.com or 818 314-7173
CALL ME RIGHT AWAY. WE HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.

P.S. My High School French is a bit rusty. Any corrections or clever slogan ideas (in French) would greatly be appreciated.

For those of you who would like to join us, check out this web site for location and times. The show is this Sunday in Woodley Park, Encino, CA, near the intersection of the 405 and the 101... Victory and Woodley to be exact. But let me know if you are planning to be there and be there by 8:00 AM or we won't be able to all park together.

Don't get me wrong, it's 48 degrees and raining here so I'd love to drive south but it isn't a good time for me right now. Thanks for the invite though!!

Get it in gear!!!! Squeeze the loud pedal!!! Rock 'n roll

Just the fact that one of you would offer to come all the way from Oregon is SUPER!

I mean check this out: 84 Southern Californians ( and it's 84 degrees outside right now) have read this this and only two have responded. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

COME ON GUYS AND GALS. As the song says "LETS GO OUT AND HAVE SOME FUN IN THE WARM CALIFORNIA SUN!"

SUNDAY...SUNday...sunday... (I know it sounds better with echo!)

call me or email 818 314-7173 dsoukup@msn.com

LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Hey you retired folks: WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE? THIS SHOW IS FREE. IT WON'T COST YOU ANYTHING. YOU MAY EVEN HAVE SOME FUN! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A "REBEL WITH A CAUSE!"

CHECK THIS OUT: When was the last time you saw a "Le Car?"

It could be that most of your California compatriots don't see the exclusion of smart from the show as such a big deal.
