Thread: Cropley na avtomobili: kaj je okrasiti se mimo Smart Roadster?

Spomnimo sodobno prevzeti britanska klasika, Smart RoadsterMonday-kolega imenuje danes narediti malo poslovanja. Vozi 2002 Smart Roadster-tako kot Gordon Murray, kot pa Jenson Button. Po moj prijatelj, cene so bile na tleh, vendar so začeli vrteti navzgor, kot ti domiseln, underpriced malo z motorjem zadaj roadsters vzbudil ljudi, ki poznajo svoje avtomobile.
Gumb Tale (dobro znano, da obstoječi lastniki) je, da je McLaren star imela Bugatti Veyron, vendar zamenjali za Smart, ko je zbolel, Bug vzdrževanje računov. In ker je preprosto všeč Smart.
Ne vidite veliko je Roadsters-s pomočjo možnosti seznama lahko preživijo skoraj 20k na eno, tako hodijo ni točno iz razstavnega prostora, da ste pozabili kako srčkan in prostor učinkovito so. Vendar če moje prijatelje izkušnje je kaj bi hodil z, se seveda navadiš. Hes naredil 90.000 milj brez toliko kot napihniti dima olje.
V menjalniku zdi neprebojni (sem to sam določi, leti, z a Coupe) in če se spomnite, da Roadster je pocinkane šasije in plastično telo, vi lahko vidite, zakaj ta sodobne avtomobile, je mogoče pričakovati, da živijo polno življenjsko dobo, ne pa rjavenje stran pred prvo zaposlitev motorja, kot je storil toliko Spridgets in zmagoslavje Spitfires, ki so bili malo nemški two-seaters predniki pred 30 leti.
Vzel Proviriti v Auto Trader in hitro ugotovi, da lahko kupite za Roadster za nekaj več kot 2000, in našli zdravo Brabus za 4500 ali tako. Svetovi najboljše pozno model Brabus bo postavil nazaj 7000-pred barantanje začne- in to je s samo 22.000 milj na uro. Preden moj kolega je usmerjeno iz naše parkirišče, ki je prehitela, da poznajo moraš imeti eno hitenja, še posebej, ko mi je povedal različni določa že zdavnaj postala na voljo za smešno dirkača in preveč svetlobe servo volan (greš za priročnik).
Preprosto ne morem verjeti, tako glavni malo avtomobilov bo ostal tako cenovno veliko več – pravzaprav, Im imetje trud razumevanje, zakaj je pametno naj so pobili na prvem mestu.

Remembering a modern take on a British classic, the Smart RoadsterMonday – A colleague called today to do a bit of business. Drives a 2002 Smart Roadster – as does Gordon Murray, as does Jenson Button. According to my friend, prices have been on the floor but are starting to turn upwards as these quirky, underpriced little rear-engined roadsters catch the eye of people who know their cars.
The Button Tale (well known to existing owners) is that the McLaren star did have a Bugatti Veyron, but swapped it for the Smart after he became sick of the Bug maintenance bills. And because he simply liked the Smart.
You dont see many of the Roadsters about – with the help of the options list you could spend nearly 20k on one, so they didnt exactly walk out of the showroom — so you forget how cute and space efficient they are. But if my friends experience is anything to go by, they certainly get used. Hes done 90,000 miles without so much as a puff of oil smoke.
The gearboxes seem bulletproof (I established this myself, years ago, with a Coupe) and if you remember that the Roadster has a galvanised chassis and a plastic body you can see why this modern car can be expected to live a full-life span, rather than rusting away before the first engine job, as did so many of the Spridgets and Triumph Spitfires that were the little German two-seaters ancestors 30 years ago.
Took a peep in Auto Trader and rapidly established that you can buy a Roadster for just over 2000, and find a healthy Brabus for 4500 or so. The worlds best late model Brabus will set you back 7000 – before the haggling starts – and thats with just 22,000 miles on the clock. Before my pal had driven out of our car park I was overtaken by that familiar gotta-have-one rush, especially after he told me various fixes had long since become available for the funny gearchange and the over-light power steering (you go for a manual).
Simply cant believe such prime little cars will stay so affordable much longer – in fact, Im having trouble understanding why Smart should have killed them in the first place.
