Chavved up Smart on Vroom Vroom last night

Big-Chris · 9th August 2006, 12:10

Did anyone see it? a Smart fortwo cabriolet that this guy had spent £20k upgrading!

absolutely ridiculous looking car - massive alloys (well, 17"

) full body kit, entertainment system including a LCD tv and a subwoofer cut into the floor.

he'd done work on the engine too, upping it from 60bhp to 93! not bad for a 0.6l i suppose

I have no idea what posesses people to do this to their cars

Any chance someone could get a link to the video or a download?

His name is Alan and I know him (Good bloke).

The car hasnt been finished for about 4years now and every time I see it there is something new fitted that doesnt yet fully work, and the stuff already on there isnt fully working yet.
Don't get me wrong, its a top amount of work he's done (the dash screen is amazingly well fitted) but I just wish he would fully get everything working

. Its not that he can't, its just he's got so many superb ideas he tends to start one before finishing another (they often roll into each other, so he cant finish one until he starts the next.... you get the idea, very much an ongoing project)

Heres his website.....

(If you go into the gallery section my old Roadster in the foreground of one of the pictures)

Reason people do this to thier cars?

Because they can!!!! :P

My old Roadster had a fully hidden 8speaker +1 sub MP3 stereo system, fully uprated brakes, intercooler, intake pipework, huge amount of custom touches to the exterior styling (mostly invisible to the layman), hand trimmed interior (Alcantara colour matched to the standard colour, by me) and was totally remapped with uprated boost and revised fueling to provide well over 100bhp (700cc, 80bhp as standard), why? because I could

Ps. Alan also owns a couple of extremely nice original Mini's one of which is not really street legal (such is the level of track orientated modification, single seat, no silencing etc). He is a dam good mechanic and does all the work himself.

eep!

I didn't mean any offence to your friend civpilot, it just seemed like a rather odd choice of car to mod like that,

not to my personal taste is all i meant
