A weird time of year morning frost and the roof down in the afternoon
It’s great that the afternoons are warm enough to get the top down, on my way home from work, but I’m soooo tired of scraping ice off the windows. At least the Smart Fortwo has so short a nose, that you can scrape the whole front window, without touching the the front bumper. Spring is…

Another company Smart Fortwo
I do enjoy seeing Smart Fortwo’s being used by companies, and think they are brilliant for advertising. This one is a well kept 2014 MHD model, that was parked at the local station.

Biltema’s Lithium Grease – 400 ml spray
I have a Biltema’s Lithium Grease Art. 36-4578 spray can in my garage. It’s my go to product, for a series of tasks, and I so far it’s the best product I’ve found for lubricating the cabriolets side rails, which is an essential task on a Fortwo cabrio.

Lubricating the Fortwo cabriolets side rails – soft top maintenance
I noticed that it was time to lubricate the cabriolets side rails, when I raised the soft top yesterday. It’s time for maintenance. This is a well known issue on the Smart Fortwo Cabriolet. The soft top frame slide in the removable side rails, on plastic blocks. If the plastic blocks had a Teflon lining,…

At last the top Can come down – It’s cabriolet time!
Spring is getting nearer, heard in Scandinavia. Had to de-ice the Smart Fortwo’s windows before I could drive to work. However when I left work, the temperature had risen to 15 degrees centigrade, and the cabriolets drop top came down immediately, and I ended up on a long detour on my way home, down a…

Smart car discrimination
We visited the Q-park parking basement near Nørreport in Copenhagen, and were given a dose of Smart car discrimination right from arrival 😊 The Nørreport parking basement is Copenhagens largest. It’s a 3 story, underground car park under the “Israels Plads” square. We rolled up to one of the three entrance lanes ticket machines, and…

One of the EDC real estate agencies has a Fortwo
By chance, I drove by the EDC real estate agency in Dianalund, and saw that he has a Smart Fortwo with his logo on. It is a black on black 2009 45HP turbo diesel wearing an EDC logo on every side. Nice to see an estate agent that has a car that doesn’t signal “you…

Nice Smart Fortwo and trailer combination, at the hardware store
Needed some building materials for a project at home, and stumbled upon this Smart Fortwo with trailer on the hardware stores parking lot. Unfortunately I don’t have a trailer hitch on my Cabrio, so I tend to get a severe case of trailer envy, when I se a road train like this. Unfortunately I wasn’t…

Why I use a Smart Car specialist!
I’ve been asked more than once, why I take my Fortwo all the way to SmartCars in Ringsted, 30 km away, instead of using one of the local garages, of which there are plenty of in this area. The question is often accompanied with a “…it’s a 15 year old vehicle, surely <Insert name here>,…

The perfect parking space
At last I’ve found the perfect parking space. It can just fit a Smartcar in it’s length, and it’s wide enough, to prevent dents from the car parked beside it! What’s not to like? Both doors can be opened up fully, while still keeping within its borders.All parking spaces should have a format like this…
