Ace Café - Smart car Meet - Saturday 5th April 2014

[CrazyG]

I didn' t see Kate turn up at all......
And 9582djk arrived shortly after you  and cowboy left JJ.
A nice shiny black Brab on Monoblock A's.. 

The Ace meet is always enthusiastically supported by owners of Smart ForTwo's and
Smart Roadster's, so no one can truthfully say that it is because this event is held on
a Saturday that that is the reason for the poor turnout of ForFours.
So just what is the problem or issue here ?

No wonder the followers of the ForTwo and Roadster don't consider the ForFour to be
a real Smart when one see's the abysmal representation shown by ForFours at Smarts meets.

I just hope we can change all that by the time the next Smart meet comes along......

More forfours than crossblades though

I'm sorry but it's just TOO far for me to come from South Devon.

JJ

so therefore going by what JJ said, the crossblade isnt a real smart then?!

No, workshop was stacked today (didn't leave till 6.30!) so couldn't skive off

Excuse my little 'rant'...no offense intended....
I just get so many mixed feelings when I go to Smart meets
and see so many ForTwo's and Roadsters but very few ForFours 

Yes I am aware that there were a lot more of those 'others' built
than of our 'little gems', but on a pro-rata basis our turnout should
be more than we actually get. And yet we are asked when are we
going to have a meet or where are there any Smart meets !
The one off Sunday meets at Hemel and Reading drew 6/7 of us,
which is a better turnout. Was that down to the clearer roads
and it being a Sunday that made it ok/better, or what ?
Or is it that we prefer just the company or 'our own' ?

I'd like to have another Sunday morning breakfast meet in the
London area (or somehere) sometime before May. 
Anyone up for that ?

If you add the number of 450, 451 and 452 then the 454 probably had an attendance of a higher percentage of total cars produced than the others

Factor in the forfour being a more family based car who don't do forums or meets so we do pretty well actually

[cowboy]

i wont be doing the ace cafe again poor turn out

[mozilla]

I prefer to go to Forfour only meets, especially when most fortwo owners first question is 'is that really a smart car?' At least until the mk II 454 is releases

[Problemchild]

That doesn't make sense. We all sit and chat about the forfours anyway and lots of people come over to talk about the forfour.

JJ

[Brabs]

Indeedy. The Beaulieu meeting was IMHO great! 

[CrazyG]

Yeah I agree...I had 2 couples come up and chat to me about ForFours
when I was in the car park at the Ace Café. Both had Roadsters and
were looking for something bigger and easier to get in/out of as "we
are no longer youngsters" as they put it.
Genuinely interested...so maybe we might have some newbies along.

[Problemchild]

Shame they didn't want the one in front of them for sale

I'm sorry I couldn't make it, sounds like a good day- just light on the 454 numbers.
