... von Alan Smith in der Gruppe "Smart Roadster".
I know this is relevant to hardly anybody else, but it made me laugh, all so true
49 Reasons why you know you're a Smart Roadster Driver...
1. You have spent the same money on your car as your next door neighbour. He drives a Fiesta/Golf/Clio/Vectra.
2. ...and you get more MPG.
3. ...and MPH!
4. When the quickest road is the back road...
5. You are driving around with a permanent grin.
6. You speed up when you see a "dangerous bends" sign instead of slowing down.
7. Farmers become accustomed to your exhaust note...
8. The car won't come out of second gear in tunnels.
9. You spend money on upgrades and Mods as if it was a game of Gran Turismo.
10. Leaving your car out of sight for more than half an hour is unthinkable .
11. Driving to and from work is an event within itself. Combine some fast B roads, snaking corners and a bit of sunshine and it feels like Christmas day EVERY DAY.
12. In the bends, you can overtake nearly anything.
13. On the straights, nearly anything can overtake you.
14. When you spend 30 mins doing donuts & handbrake turns on an empty snow-covered IKEA car park at 1.30am when really you should be in bed.
15. Your girlfriend has asked at least once what you would do if you had to decide between her and the Roadster.
16. Driving anything else is an absolute joke. I mean...How inaccurate is the steering? Is there a reason for this high driving position? Why am I leaning so much on a paltry 40 mph bend? Is there a problem with the accelerator cable?
17. You salivate at the sight of a Noble M12 whilst others don’t even know what it is.
18. You cringe when people say "That looks powerful, what size engine has it got?"
19. And frown when they tell you their standard hot hatch has 80 BHP more.
20. What's the top speed then? OK..enough, enough.
21. You suddenly gain an ability to read the weather better than Michael Fish.
22. You think it's perfectly normal for a modern car to leak.
23. You know every roundabout in town.
24. Wheel scuffs are part and parcel.
25. Only in the last five minutes of any journey will you remember to switch on the stereo.
26. Every child you drive past will point and shout "cool car".
27. Your mum screams even when you are at half pace.
28. Holidays no longer involve flying.
29. You have Nightmares about having children.
30. You ring your girlfriend and say, "I'm somewhere in the Peak District".
31. You think it's perfectly reasonable to have a service schedule of 7000 miles.
32. You actually look forward to services as it’s the perfect opportunity to fit modifications.
33. If you hear a sound outside whilst lying in bed, you go out and check on the garage, rather than comforting the wife/gf that the house is not going to be broken into.
34. You suddenly gain the ability to pack suitcases and shopping bags.
35. You lose any requirement you ever had in traffic jams to look at other people in cars, as you know they're already staring at you.
36. You learn to admire the country side a lot more...
37. You think the Roadster is becoming a common car....(when you see two in the same week).
38. When you leave the house without your shoes, wallet, baseball cap and the letters you were going to post...and you only go back to get the hat.
39. When your social life is split 50/50 between driving the car and talking about driving the car.
40. Down the pub the conversation invariably turns to the subject of your car...even if you don't bring it up.
41. You think a mini is a practical car.
42. You've learned to ignore squeaks and rattles.
43. Car-park attendants commenting, "Nice Porsche".
44. Motorway is a swear word.
45. as is Ice, Rain, Snow and Straight Road.
46. Tyre marks on every roundabout within a 10 miles radius.
47. Every lunchtime whilst at work you go to see if it is "OK".
48. You really can't see what your next car will be that is in a similar price bracket.
49. You think it's categorically, unquestionably, undoubtedly, 100%, definitely the best purchase you have ever made. |

... und mein FB-Nachtrag:
50. You are driving to work slowly, enjoy the music and you are happy about the great mpg that your Ultragauge shows you. Until you have that annoying jerk in fromt of you. Any thoughts about mgp are gone. You arrive at work 10 minutes early. |
