[Ocracoke]

I am looking to go to this though I cannot commit just yet.

[mr singh]

it is my Saturday to work but have manage to swap it with someone else, so who's going that owns a STAR?

ill even shout you lunch...

plus its Vaisakhi and its the centenary of the massacre that happened in the city of Amritsar

[cecil]

Plans are still unsettled for Sat. I am trying to pop along even if it is only for a short time.

[jmariog]

I should be there and if any one does bring a star, for Mr Singh could they do my paddle steering  .......

Having a Star and using it is not as simple as one thinks. Trust me on that.

Although there may possibly be some folks around with one they may not
have the wherewithall to know how to use it properly, and therein can lie
a big problem ! Obviously it's not one if they use it everyday, but then
those people would be a Smart independant and expect to be paid for
their knowledge, time etc.
If you are not one of 'them' then unless you are 100% 'au fait' with how
to use a Star one can actually create/cause a problem. A point in question
or example being AMT adjustment clutch adjustment and gear alignment.
Do it in the wrong order or skip something cos you can't see why it needs
or needed doing and you can end up with no gears at all, and I have
actually witnessed this happen !  Sorting that out wasn't as easy as
pressing a few buttons I can tell you.

So...how does one get to learn or use a Star properly ?  I guess that if you're
not in the business of being an Independant then 'trial and error' is the only
way.  But as I've said, one can get in some really awkward/bad situations
at the press of a key/button. Nothing however is insurmountable.

[mr singh]

while I agree with you 'G' I suspect that orcacoke has played around enough with his to 'hopefully' know what he is doing

I can't make tomorrow due to other commitments. To be honest it's a terrible drive to the Ace from where I live.

[snookey]

It's all happening way too far away for me, but I hope you all have a great day, and I look forward to reading about some of it.

Nice time 3 forfours present. Heading,Mr Singh and me. . The carpark was full of fortwos. We 3 musketeers had a great chat . It is great to put faces to names. Especially with those who"s views on the forfours are as enthusiastic as my own. Unfortunately we didn't manage to put the entire world to rights so will have to agree to reconvene the meeting at some time in the future.
A really enjoyable meeting here to the next one.

[mr singh]

the fortwo owner that was next to me was certainly interested in my forfour, he even gave me a sticker for the 'Real Smart Car Owners Club' on the facebooks.

anyhow like cecil said, it was nice to put faces to screen names

[Problemchild]
