WOW! I can hardly contain my excitement. We have 14 smart cars confirmed for our first meet AND one of them is a 2006 European Passion. This is turning out to be a GREAT event. I'm sure further events will be even better as we will have MASSIVE input from others (as opposed to little old me). That's right, massive. If your coming to the event I will be the guy at CM holding the smart umbrella come rain or come shine. If parking is available by the deck I will be standing by my smart too.

I haven't got my smart yet, but would like to tag along for a bit to see how they are in the real world.

I'm taking delivery of a passion coupe in New York on August 9th, then driving it across the country for a documentary film:

I've already got my camera gear, so I may come by to practice shooting. Look forward to seeing you all. - Peter

We did it! 24 smart cars made it our meeting place and 23 to the first stop and our first Photo op! We'll be starting a local club and doing many more fun runs in the future. You shoulda seen 23 smart cars driving down "the drag" but the University of Texas! It was so cool. We'll have video to share too since we have a documentary maker (docublogger) hitch a ride with one of our smarts.

Video Is Up on YouTube

Hello All,
Here's a rough cut from yesterday's meet:

youtube.com/watch?v=xoVQYT9YFSI

Thank you all for letting me tag along. The footage on YouTube is compressed and a bit grainy, but in its native HD format, it looks awesome.

Enjoy!
