執行緒： 克羅普利在車上的： 什麼是智慧的敞篷跑車比聰明？

記住一個現代採取的英國經典智慧 RoadsterMonday — — 一位同事，叫今天做一點生意。磁碟機 2002年智慧敞篷跑車 — — 一樣戈登 · 默里，簡森 • 巴頓一樣。我的朋友，價格一直在地板上，但都開始變成向上作為這些古怪、 低估小後置發動機跑車吸引眼球的人知道他們的汽車。
按鈕故事 (眾所周知對現有業主） 是邁凱輪明星確實有輛布加迪威航，但它換智慧了之後他成為了生病的 Bug 的保養費用。因為他只是喜歡智慧。
你看不見的跑車很多 — — 的説明下選項清單你可以花近 20 k，所以他們並沒有完全走出展廳 — — 所以你忘記多麼可愛和高效的空間，他們是。但如果我朋友的經驗來看，他們肯定會習慣。他做沒有不如一縷油煙 90,000 英里。
齒輪箱似乎防彈 （建立這樣的自己，年前與轎跑車） 如果你還記得跑車有一個鍍鋅的底盤和塑體你可以看到為什麼這輛現代車可以預計住全壽命，而不是作為久遠之前第一引擎的作業，做這麼多的 Spridgets 和較小的德國雙座佈局祖先 30 年前的勝利噴火戰鬥機。
偷看了在汽車交易商和迅速建立你可以買一輛跑車剛剛超過 2000 年，和找到健康的 Brabus 為 4500 左右。世界最好的後期模型布拉布斯將設置你回 7000 — — 討價還價的開始 — — 前，那是與時鐘上只是 22000 英里。我的朋友已經趕出我被超越我們停車場熟悉得有一個高峰，尤其是後他告訴我各種修復了長時間以來之前成為供搞笑 gearchange 和過度光動力轉向 （你去手冊）。
簡直不能相信這種首要的小車將保持更長的時間 — — 事實上，我有麻煩的理解，為什麼智慧應該殺了他們放在第一位，所以負擔得起。

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.
