Spotted 2013

[Blipi]

Couple weeks ago I saw a Smart car heading towards Wellingborough on the A45

This was no ordinary looking ForFour as it was covered in astroturf and had a red face on the front!

Anyone else see this oddity or know anything about it?

This is what it looked like!!! (rubbish video but shows the car) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=titGAETIhy4



Oh dear, also found this, looks like a trend starting! http://blog.asgoodasgrass.co.uk/astro-grass-cars/

One last edit, seems like it was this car: http://www.artificialgrasscompany.co.uk/easibug.as...

tut, tut,

I'd expect you to know your smarts a little better, that's a City Coupe or For Two

clue in the number of seats

The shame... Of course it is a ForTwo!

I can't believe you missed the opportunity to use one of these:

Trust the poor unfortunate who parked his yellow Ferrari (possibly a 355GTS) into the central reservation on the exit from the A5 heading towards Silverstone on the A43 a week past Tuesday (15th) was no-one on here?
We saw it briefly passing on the opposite carriageway but the front end looked in a pretty sorry state.
Coming back down this Monday the amount of yellow paint on the central reservation barrier meant it must have been quite a long accident.
A bit too much right boot coming off the island? It was dry that day so no excuses there....
Cheers, Pewe.

Is it a real one? It looks it, but you were at the Kit Car show. We used to do work with a guy that owned Mirage.

Cant really say, I saw it head on going the opposite way to me - I was too taken aback to see a Countach in my village. I couldn't positively say it was or wasn't a real one either I guess.

Yours looks nice I have to say.

Thanks, had a lot done to it so replicate as much as poss. I will never admit or try to say it is real, it's a faithful recreation with modern running gear and 4 cylinders less than the orig.My friend has a 25th Anni version and costs a lot to maintain each year that's why I went this way.

The nicely finished Mirage cars are better than the originals! Yours does look good!!
