J&J Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 We just completed an Ontario to Florida Keys to Ontario trip. Only saw one smart between Burlington and Destin (florida panhandle). Saw 13 in Florida mostly in the southern half. saw zero comming home after leaving Savannah Georga.In the Keys we saw one mounted sideways behind the cab of a red transport tractor that was pulling a large 5th wheel trailer - a list member?

Francesco Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If it was a 450, perhaps. I'll try to dig up that member name later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donniedark Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Hi Gang: An earlier poster was showing a Trailer attached to a Smart.I previously had 2 Trailers for my Smart 450 but when I bought my Limited Three 451 I bought this LUGG Motorcycle Trailer. It weighs 64 lbs and you attach whatever you need....Bike Rack, Kayak Rack or, in my case a 14 cu ft Thule Carrier....The whole Rig weighs less than 80 lbs and you have to check behind to remind yourself you're hauling extras.On the trip to the Kansas Nationals I will have a "Front" spare, Jack and Tool kit plus extra luggage with room left over inside the Thule Carrier.Thought you might like to see a Pic Edited March 18, 2010 by Donniedark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J&J Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The same company makes a trailer to put a smart on: http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/103858...rt_Trailer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donniedark Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I am not 100% sure but I believe the Podium Manufacturer is no longer building Trailers. They were in Receivership last Fall and I don't think they were able to attract new Capital and ownership. ...hope I'm wrong because their products were superb and reasonably priced.I am keeping mine especially for this reason ! Smart Car Universe would know for sure.... RegardsDon C Edited March 18, 2010 by Donniedark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Why not call them? 450-532-4534 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donniedark Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I already have my Lugg so I have no reason to call !....good suggestion though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donniedark Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Update....FYI....Just spoke with Ron Young....Distributor for Podium....they have had no response for 6 months from the Manufacturer so that is a ""bad" sign...looks like a great product line is no more...too bad !

Leadwing Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) In the Keys we saw one mounted sideways behind the cab of a red transport tractor that was pulling a large 5th wheel trailer - a list member?The member's handle on this site is billr. He is from the Georgetown, Ontario area. I believe he has a red Volvo tractor and has the smart piggy-back when hauling his trailer. (assuming that this is the same rig and person) Edited March 23, 2010 by Leadwing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Has anyone in the Vancouver area seen an all-orange 451? It is a genuine BRABUS conversion commissioned by M-B Canada. If anyone sees it, I would love to get the last 6 digits of the VIN. I will load the photo in another thread this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 saw a black smart car today coming off the highway in brampton. As I came up behind it i noticed the cdi stamp on it, so I put the pedal to the metal and left it in the dust with my almighty 71hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mine doesn't even say "cdi" but rather has a small BRABUS badge (that's how it came!), but you still would have left me standing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaincorgi Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Saw a black 451 coupe driving west down king st in kitchener, near city hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribou Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I saw this green 450 near Ottawa. Is it a custom paintjob? I haven't seen this colour before, but it looks cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 That'll be owner-customised and it IS good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 A sighting and my first wave-by between me and another Smart enthusiast...Around 5:00 pm near the Home Depot in Leaside. I was turning onto Wicksteed heading east in my brown/silver highstyle. The other driver was turning off Wicksteed heading north in a black 450 with silver tridion. The driver had a full head of grey hair and gave me that Smart wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Another drive-by honk and wave. Spotted a yellow 451 with black tridion heading south on Pape above Cosburn as I was pulling out of the McDonald's driving north. 5:00 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadwing Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Seen today (Thursday, May20/10) in St. Marys, Ontario. A second one was spotted in St. Marys also within 5 minutes of the first sighting, but I was too slow on the camera to get a picture of it.

Leadwing Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) - Top left picture and centre left pictures are of a smart spotted on hwy 403, May 31/10- Top right picture was taken in St. Marys, Ontario near the end of May /10- Lower right was spotted in St. Catharines, Ontario- The last picture is my own smart, but I thought the combination of a taxidermy and cheese shop was interesting.
