The missing car from my collection....a Crossblade.  8)
I just love it....and your makin me jealous already...  ;)

Pssst...
If you are going to the Smart Fest in Sept, take a look at the Ferrari red coloured one
that will be there again this year (with a Ferrari owners club badge on it...he also owns a Ferrari or 2 !)
I met the owner 2weeks ago...and I had a look/show around it !
It gobsmacked me !  (It's had a fortune spent on it...)
700cc Brabus 101 Roadster engine and gearbox, remapped,
6 pot caliper brakes, Viper induction, silicon pipes, uprated suspension,
etc etc etc..and then some ! Clean....an understatement...you could eat your dinner off the engine.
And the underside and wheel arches were just as spotlessly immaculate too !

I know Colin, and have looked at his car from a distance - i've been keeping away from Crossblades til I could afford to get one ;) He's popping along to the smart Brentford open day on Saturday 17th, we'll have a mini Crossblade meet :D

I'm planning on keeping mine (though I should say "ours") as close to factory standard as possible.

It's been great fun zooming around Bristol in it today, even a guy driving a new Ferrari did a double take! Love it!

If and when I sell my 95 M5 I'll quite possibly be in the market for a Crossblade...
to complete my set..so to speak.

Wouldn't mind one either. Most are very low miles but no one seems to know what they are worth, I have seen them up for sale between 6K and 14K.

Nope, from Reading. Dunno if the Burger King guy still has his, but i'm led to believe his had a very hard life.

Very nice!

I've been so tempted a couple of times but being a family man (and already having 3 smarts and only a single garage  :) ) I'll just have to wait. One day.....

(Just to keep him happy)
I will remind you the forfour BRABUS is Andrews, and we're joint owners of the 'blade.

Darkened lights are the shizzle.

Did you do your lights yourself and did you follow the same process as G did on his how-to??

I want to do but I need to find a weekend where I don't need my car :(
