There are more Smart cars seen in Vancouver streets these days.

However, I saw one yesterday towing a trailer :?

It was small---not as small as those built for motorcycles--

Maybe its a Smart trailer. It was for carrying things, rather than for Smart people to camp in.

What makes you think I'm selling something :?:

Most of the Smarts I see seem to be used by Security firms.

Went to the British car show this morning, with a couple of hundred examples. It was held in a nice garden park.

There were two examples of what could be considered as the predessor of the Smart.

Austin 7 from 1929, which weighed 900 pounds, maximum speed of 45 mph and 40mpg.

Highlights were some MG-TCs, a 1958 ACE Bristol--the 6 cylinder car that Shelby stuffed a Ford V8 into and called it a Cobra.

Quite a few Lotus Sevens and the 1934 Ason Martin with cycle fenders
was outstanding. :D
