Hello from across the pond!

Hi de hi!

My name's Annie and I have a 2004 registered Smart Fortwo Passion Coupe in River Silver called Bertie.

I currently live in Derby in the UK but will soon be starting the immigration process to hopefully be joining you guys in North America - Nova Scotia in Canada to be more precise!

My other half Steve also has a Smart - a Jack Black 2005 registered Brabus Roadster Coupe. Unfortunately Bob is soon going to be up for sale to help with our Canada fund.

So a big Hello from me!!

Maybe you can immigrate some parts over with you as well I sure need some. All the parts are much cheaper over there

I have no idea what parts cost in the USA but I know if you get any parts from a main dealer in the UK you get spanked!!

We live right by Smarts R Us! We've given up on servicing costs though - we've bought all the stuff and do our own to save some money now

When you get to Nova Scotia, make sure to take photos of your Smart in different areas. This way we can see both your Smart and Nova Scotia.

After all that Scabbers has said about Scottish people and their stupid accents, he's moving to New Scotland.
Let's hope he does'nt start that mittens and kittens crap over there
I will miss you Annie.

Since Canada has had the Smart before it came to the USA, perhaps one could rent a Smart Fortwo while in Nova Scotia? (just a thought).
