got a VIN.. who do I give it to?

[Jillian]

there should be a two

Black on black - I think it's a pure. Ugh - black interior. As I recall.

[MikeT]

much obliged...

[Jillian]

Did that help?

[MikeT]

every smart is sacred

every smart is great

if just one is wasted

god gets quite irate

[Jillian]

OMG !- no pun intended!

You're a class act!

[Speedie]

Here's one-

Phat Red and Black Pure - 236148 - too dark to see inside. With Westcoast Tae Kwon Do signs on it - downtown Victoria.

Cheers,

Cameron

[MikeT]

I had it, but it's good to know who owns it now. We've almost got 300 smarts spotted here in V.I.

[Speedie]

Gee that would be a lot higher than the national average - given we have about 500 here. Come on smarties get tracking!

Cheers,

Cameron

Hi Mike -

I am assuming that since it was parked in the mayor's spot - that it is the mayor's smart - 234545 - black on black pure - grey interior - alien eyeballs.

Cheers,

Cameron

[Speedie]

Silver on Silver Passion - 211950 - Grey interior(?)

Cheers,

Cameron

[MikeT]

I already had it though (when it was at TPM, new).

The same thing happened to me today in Duncan. I saw two phat red cars, carded and VINned them and when I checked the spreadsheet, they were already spotted! Drat!

Merry Xmas

[Speedie]

Hey Mike - you should make a trip to TPM on Boxing Day - they are trying to have 25 cars for sale for Xmas - I saw at least 18 there last night.

Cheers,

Cameron

I would VIN the PoinTTS one outside my house but it's really dark... I wouldn't be able to see it.

[MikeT]

Seasoned VINners carry a small maglight with them

Hi Mike,

I have a number for you, but you might have it already.

# 227527 Blue / Silver Passion Coupe - Phat Red interior, A/C, new Tach, clock and drawer under driver's seat

It was a raffle prize at a charity raffle this Fall in Calgary - Winner sold it and bought a bigger mercedies.

It apeared in my garage Christmas morning with a BIG red bow.

I was a fan - now I' m an owner.

[MikeT]

And congratulations!

Although my list of VINs is comprehensive, your new one had not been spotted yet - so I didn't know where it was, the colours/options or who owned it, so it was new to me!

Enjoy! So does Robodave get the other one?

[MikeT]

Sorry Dave, I thought the black "fort wo" was smartmom's.....never mind!

Cheers

[Cora Napple]

Hi Mike....My vin # is 252276. It comes in tomorrow at TPM. Red/silver passion coupe. As it is coming with ruby red panels they will change them. I have to wait till January 18 to pick it up, so if you are driving by and see it give me a holler! As I spend 1/2 the year in Vancouver, and 1/2 in Arizona I am considered Canadian. Since I'm Scandahoovian, guess that makes me Candahoovian. Maria

[MikeT]

So what's the interior colour, and the options that you got?

The 18th is my Daughter Jennifer's 17th birthday, but if you wanna drop by in Ladysmith for a piece of cake, let me know....

Cheers

[Cora Napple]

Thanks for the invite, I'll let you know. Interior is bungee grey, I had them trade jetlines for stylines; it already has an underseat drawer, and they threw in a cupholder. I'm having them install a tach, figure I'll need it for the break-in period. If only one eyeball looks funny I'll have them put in a clock. With the passion, I guess there's not alot more you can add. Maria

[Diesel Dave]

#217870, pulse coupe, silver/blue, soft touch, tach & clock, heated leather, A/C.

#170572, pulse coupe, black/silver, soft touch, tach & clock, twister blue, A/C.

I found a better way to secretly gather info on the cars. I make a voice memo on my cell phone rather than writing it down on paper. Makes it look like I'm telling a friend about a neat car I've seen instead of like I'm writing a parking ticket.

[Speedie]

225106 - Penguin Pulse - grey interior - belongs to friends of the Inlaws on Saltspring - they are in thier 70's - there is another one like thiers over there - apparently they are into the waving thing. I explained the headlight adjuster to them - going to send them some info on the club etc. They are up for a rally anytime - even invited us to go for a drive while we are waiting for our car LOL.

Cheers,

Cameron

[MikeT]

That makes it 320 VINned cars on the Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island, out of what? 480?

[Speedie]

Only 160 to go!

I will see what I can do the next time I am over there to find the other 5 or so that hang around Saltspring.

Cheers,

Cameron

...or maybe looks like you're a repo man calling for a tow-truck!
