Smarticus, I got your email. I would have loved to be able to go over to Tulsa for the 1 year annv. but I have to work (bummer). My Brabus is suppose to be in between Apr. 1st and Jun. 30th. It will be coming to St. Louis since it was ordered under my mother's email and they live up around Batesville. They have more of a dealer fee there but also no toll roads and I have a friend that he and his wife live there so I will make a visit out of it. Currently, my mom and dad only have about 1500 miles on their passion. I believe they are going to sell theirs and buy mine that I have right now since I am getting the Brabus. Mom likes the int. color on mine more than the one that they bought from my aunt since she decided not to take hers.

You can contact smart to change the delivery site to Tulsa, I think a phone call or email might do it. There was an all black cab like mine, but with the Brabbus parts attached in Tulsa today,...it looked really nice. The new darker silver is a color I could grow to like rather quickly also.
We must have had approx. 75 smarts on the drive around Tulsa today, it was fun to see the general populace react to that many wee cars in the same place at the same time.
My car got the upgrade on the transmission, a new battery and the 10k service. The transmission upgrade is nice,...I used to get poked in the side of my leg with the top of the shifter when it was in manual mode, now I can switch to manual without physically moving the shifter out of computer drive mode. It is also a noticable improvement to the shifting.

just spoke to the little rock dealer via phone. They are apparently allowed to do "factory service and maintenance" to the smart cars that they have sold as a used cars. On cars that they didn't sell, they have to call Smart and haggle with them "on a case by case basis" as to whether they can do the service. The dealership is still trying to become a smart car dealer.

There should now be an orphaned black Brabus cabrio in St. Louis. Last Friday I picked up a just orphaned silver Brabus cabrio and brought it home. Very sweet ride. I believe it is about time that all of us tried to get together for dinner or a cruise or something. Any interested parties?

I'm up for it except for the weekend of the 3rd through the 5th. I'll be back in Tulsa.

I say, if weather permits, let's shoot for Saturday Apr. 11th at "On the Border" again in W. Little Rock at around 5:30, give or take 30 minutes. Anyone else?

Do you like the Italian Villa? Just a chance to widen those horizons.

eqwalker · 03-24-2009, 12:34 PM

Sounds fine to me. Let's go with that.

Oh, I could look it up on the net, but where exactly is it located?

smarticus · 03-24-2009, 01:56 PM

Markham and Bowman, southside of the parking lot,facing Markham. Heard anything from Justnameme or any of the origional crew?

No I haven't heard anything or spoke to the guy at Auto Audio either. I may give the guy at Auto Audio a call to let him know about it. Does he still have his that you know of? I don't get over in west Little Rock much.
