Greetings from the U.K.

Hello and Greetings from the (not so) sunny Cotswolds region of England.

Firstly I'd like to thank b322da for his kind invitation to join you fine folk after we got chatting on one of the U.K. forums.

I am hopefully going to pick up my first smart tomorrow, it's fourtwo edition limited 3 (no idea why the words are in that order!) it's metallic melon in colour with a silver tridion and black cabrio roof.
We ran into an owner of a 2011 white cabriolet in our local supermarket and my better half fell in love with its quirky cuteness and super efficiency..... i think at this point i ought to mention i drive a mitsubishi galant vr4 (thats the 2.5l V6 twin turbo 300bhp four door saloon) so pretty much anything short of a hummer would be cheaper to run!

Really looking forward to getting to know the car and asking lots of really annoying questions really soon!!

Cheers

PoM or Andy

there she is!!! isnt she pretty!!!!
the only things im tempted to do at the moment is get the black trim around the bottom painted to match the body colour and possibly getting the tridion into chrome!!!
