It looks like it started as this model, but it had aftermarket wheels and the front window was cut down as a speedster. Maybe it was a show car, or a Brabus modification?

Then I pull into a 7/11 and theres a Lambo Guillardo taking up 2 parking spaces.

I love LA!!

Was it this:

If so its a production model called the Crossblade, it has channels cut in the interioe for water to run out and other modifications including lack of doors and windscreen and roof

Good thing you didn't run into it in your 2 ton + car...

Was it this...

That's exactly what it was. It had the red seats, but it was all black and the wheels looke like they were aftermarket.

A Smart is a rare siting in the US, so this Crossblade model must be even rarer.

there are a few of the early model smarts here, few convertibles and i have only seen one Xblade that belonged to a local radio station...


They are a good idea if you nevr leave the city, but the Xblade is useless in the UK

 

[terrible one]

Ugly

I wonder how they 'relieved' themeselves...they never said.

Yeah that was the big smart, that has four seats, they used bottles....

.......they used bottles....

nice! the old snapple-bottle trick.....

My theory of why NYC smells like urine (aside from dogs):

Cab/Limo drivers pee in a bottle, opens his door and dumps a bottle full of pee on the curb!

talk about going off topic :hide:

Those are called "trucker bombs." Apparently some people actually collect meth using truckdrivers urine in order to extract the unabsorbed meth out of it. Twas on the news a few weeks ago.

i saw 2 smarts about 3 years ago in alaska , they were the roadsters ....everyone does artic testing there ...i saw the 6 series and the past s class before they came out ...among other things ...

I even looked ata couple Lupos , one was later the GTi version ...i think the other was the test bed for the clutchless manual

 

[mccombie_5]

Yeah, i would imagine you can get alot of that up there in the winterwonderland LOL

My ex wife lived by a test track, and there were often disguised cars there as far back as the 1970s!!

 

[Stoneage_Caddy]

there is even pictures i took of the XLR in the xlr section ....when it was in prototype form ....

i was there for testing , and i went to bolwing green for job one , i saw the very first customer XLR be fired up and rolled out the door ...

 

[mccombie_5]

Thats cool, none of the ones i saw disguised were as cool as an XLR they were like the Austin Montego.....
