Unfortunately, wifi here is sketchy and drops out a lot. I'm struggling to post on here, even with the added punch of an iPad. We are taking loads of photos and will upload them somewhere when we return for all to see.

Anyhoo my Facebook name is: Victoria Hughes

Hopefully I can be searched for, I have a big cheesy grin for my profile photo and a 'background' photo of a snake :D

I've made some pictures of the cars that I found really interesting.
If you want to see them, just take a look at my facebook page, search for Didier Noppe.

Amazing that in nearly every video or anything to do with Smart they
consciously avoid showing the ForFour.  Ok, so maybe a bit of a ForFour
might just sneak in...or a brief flash of one, but other than that the ForFour
features in nothing.   It is almost as if it is an embarressment to them !
Odd, as it was built for the same number of years as the Roadster, and yet
look at all the after sales problems they had with leaks with the Roadster !

its because they don't want fortwo and roadie owners moving to the highly reliable forfour as the "supprt" side for the other models is huge money for them ;)

hahaha!!

from the speech of the CEO lady, she said that 44 will be produced again if i understood correctly :)
if someone can confirm it will be better.
G tks for the pictures, if you have other ones that can compromise my marriage please tell me the money that you are asking for :P  :P
