10th Anniversary feature
« on: November 12, 2014, 02:18:48 PM »

I'm pleased to say that we'll be running a feature in the next issue of '4site' smart Magazine to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the forfour, an event that has been somewhat uncelebrated to date!

Whilst there will be some good general coverage in that feature, I'd also like to include a range of owner cars and stories in much the same way as we celebrated the crossblade and Roadster anniversaries.

If you would like to have your car considered for inclusion, please email me a short paragraph with a couple of pictures describing why you think your car is so special to you or indeed, any other related forfour topic.  Email 4site@thesmartclub.com

Deadline is 10th December 2014.

Many thanks,

Al

So....who if anybody has put their name/s, car/s and stories forward for this ?

We're after recognition, acknowledgement and a voice in the Smart
community, so come on...let's not waste this valuable oppurtunity.

Unsure if mine is worthy or not as it's a non runner.
Also, not sure if they're after concours or "heavily" modified.
What you reckon. Worth a punt?

Users are just so humble

Well they asked for different range of owners, so just send them your own and see what they think. It is not like you would shame ForFours if it had not been modified at all or were completely rebuilt. Shows just different mindsets of users thus making it a good car for anyone.

Cheers

To be perfectly honest, I think it will be unforgivable
if we do not grab this oppurtunity by the horns to put
the ForFour into the limelight for all the other Smart
owners to see that we have just as much enthusiasm
and love for our cars as they have for theirs.

I could implore the likes of Brulaw, Brabs and
mr singh to be champions of our cause, but...
I see no reason why these few should have to carry
the flag for everyone, therefore I appeal to as many
members as possible to seriously consider putting
forward a submission for this forthcoming publication.

Well .... I did it  , I just sent Al a little message and a couple of nice pictures  , At first I didn't think mine was the kind of thing he might be looking for  , but then I thought that if enough of us send something in the more choice He'll have  and then there'll be more chance  of making it an interesting feature in the magazine  .... So I jumped in .

I've made a submission, i wasn't going to but like Brulaw says, best for them to have more choice even if we don't all make the final cut.
