TFM Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Wow! What a great gift! Should I spoil the surprise for you all? It's VERY cool Don't read below if you don't want to know... Wow! It's a custom CD case for under the passenger seat! Woot! It had two compartments and can be used for many things. I'll take a picture when Xan unpacks the camera. Also in the pack was a CD with all the pictures from the Relay, I can't wait to have a look at that. AND, and this is just wild, it has a Shell package explaining the low sulpher diesel. It has info and locations you can get it... AND a $20 gift certificate for fuel! Woot! So we get a free tank of fuel! (How many other cars can say they get a full tank!) Anyway, gota go to work. later! Quote
ARTZ Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Don't read this if you don't want the surprise to be ruined..... I can't use the gift certificate because Shell doesn't sell Diesel in my area. I think there are only 2 Shell stations in Fredericton and about 30 Irvings. Quote
smart142 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Hey Dean! You must be the first!! Got mine hand delivered about 30 minutes ago...YES!! ARTZ: I'm sure someone will take that certificate off your hands... Quote
42Kruiser Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Shell has diesel here and you have my address and I'm a really nice guy when I'm not around and ................. Quote

I can't use the gift certificate because Shell doesn't sell Diesel in my area. I think there are only 2 Shell stations in Fredericton and about 30 Irvings. Ahhaa! I'll take it and send you a $1.00. That way it is not a total loss and you get rid of a headache!! Garry Quote
TFM Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 As promised here are the pics! It's pretty cool. It has a magnetic snap for when you want to grab another Cd or whatever AND it also zips up if you want to carry it around with the hide away handle! The divider is Velcro and can be moved around or taken out all together. The bottom of the case has Velcro so it won't slide around. Pretty darn cool! Thanks Smart Canada! You rock! Quote
garry stearns Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 JoAnne told me these are "smart Roadster" cases and are no longer available here. A great coup! Garry Quote
bilgladstone Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Verry nice The case has one angled side and it fits perfectly behind the seat, stuck with its hook&loop strips to the agngled panel that goes up to the floor of the luggage area. It'll be a nice little travelling case since I already have a smart CD case. Thanks Joanne and Garry and Shell! Bil Quote
deezle Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Ahhaa! I'll take it and send you a $1.00. That way it is not a total loss and you get rid of a headache!! Garry I'll give you $2 plus the 51c postage after you send it to me. I was tempted to put MY mailing address beside all the B.C. participant names, but I've got a hunch somebody would have noticed. The goodie bag looks great in the photos---haven't got mine yet, but THANKS MERCEDES BENZ CANADA and Joanne Caza for it and for all the support you gave to our relay/fundraiser!! Quote
MikeT Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I'll trade it for a 2006 European market fortwo brochure in English! Quote
ARTZ Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Shell has diesel here and you have my address and I'm a really nice guy when I'm not around and ................. $5.51. I think I may have to head down for a road trip to Truro to see 42Kruiser and get some diesel from the Shell. Hey 42Kruiser, what are you doing during the long weekend? Want some smart company????

Captain No Beard Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I can't use the gift certificate because Shell doesn't sell Diesel in my area. I think there are only 2 Shell stations in Fredericton and about 30 Irvings. Shell?? You have a shell?? Bet they'd give you $20 worth of lollipops for the certificate...Halloween's right around the corner! I'd only need to drive 600 km on a gravel road to get to a Shell...don't even know if they sell diesel. Does the certificate say it can only be used for diesel?? If not we'll be using in the next rental car in St. John's. NB Quote

TFM Posted September 28, 2006 Author Posted September 28, 2006 Or any items. It's good for anything any Shell or Supersave Gas and other things. It's basically like a $20 there. Quote
ARTZ Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I wish we had shell diesel here. You guys are always talking about different grades of diesel. I always only have the choice of one. Someone told me today that of the Shel's in Frederictonl does of diesel; just that pumps are on the far side of the gas station. Either way it is still great to have the large companies/corporations support the Cross Canada Relay for Club Smart Car. Quote
Guest XSSF Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Just got mine.Great gift I was expecting a thank you card or something. No pictures or video of BC on the cd Quote

Well....we still save on photo paper and pic downloading. I will ask JoAnne how come there are no BC pics. Garry Quote
42Kruiser Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Got mine today and there are BC pics on it. Quote
IMSMRT Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I got mine today too! Great cd case from smart! And a $20 gift from Shell! I will have to get my sister to make me a copy of the cd though.... Thanks to JoAnne Caza & Marcus Breitshwerdt for the great gifts and all the support! And thanks to Shell Canada for the support and the gift certificate! And thanks to everyone who helped out with the planning and mapping and phoning and arranging and and and! And A big Thank you to Garry for having the vision and perseverence to pull it all together into a very exciting lifetime experience! I am still in awe of the whole thing. I still think about pulling into the Costco parking lot and seeing 80 cars waiting for us! Awesome! Sean Quote
MikeT Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 We got ours today too! Thanks to Marcus Breitschwerdt and JoAnne Caza of Mercedes-Benz Canada for their incredible help and generosity, Shell for the support and coupon and of course to our own Garry Stearns! And we'll never forget Three Point Motors' pivotal role in the stunning finale of this event! The Peugeot 405 already used the Shell coupon for a fill, or shoud I say, top-up. It would have taken over $65 to fill her empty tank! Quote
Diesel Dave Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Got mine today. Thanks Mercedes Benz and Shell and especially Garry Stearns. That case is really for carrying clean microfiber towels for detailing the car. Large panel towels on one side and smaller window towels on the other. This is the reason for the movable partition.

smart142 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Only Dave would think of that One day you're going to rub the paint right off the car Quote
