We´re over 2000 miles away from home in our hometown, we´re having a great time, so far in just 3 days we have seen several Fortwos and 2 Forfours.
I almost forgot, we saw a couple of 451s in Oklahoma City, in our way from Kansas to Texas.
I´ll post pictures later.

Buzz over to Chapala, there are many Smarts amongst the Gringos retired there. Tell me about the Mexico portion of your drive. See any banditos?

While you're down there, make sure to stop in and see RVGRINGO

That black & white forfour looks like a panda.

Big Panda......... you hiding out in Mexico, or is Fiat sending you there to be closer to the manufacturing and distribution?

It's nice to see smarts outside the USA, just wish we could get some of them.

(diesels & roadsters)

We are planning a trip to Chapala with the guys from Smart Club Mexico on the 26th!! We didn´t drive in Mexico, we just drove from Kansas to the DFW airport. We have been driving here in Guadalajara and the only thing we see is tons of reckless drivers

I go there several times a year. My mother is one of those crazy gringos that retired there. No matter what anyone says don't touch any fresh cut fruit or salad. If you do get a "violent" episode Cipro is the cure. It's available at any pharmacia. My dentist is in Chapala. Cleanings are $30 and resin fillings are $50. There is a great massage place a block towards town from the American Legion. Lolita is her name. For lunch I recommend Marios in San Antonio and dinner...Tangos in Ajijic.
