Seen parked in Woburn Sands, Bedfordshire, this was my first sighting of the second-generation Smart ForFour. Whilst I was familiar with the eggcup-shaped Smart Fortwo on US roads (though no longer imported there), I was hitherto unaware of its bigger brother. With production of the ForFour having ceased in 2021, I wonder if I managed to photograph a UK rarity and perhaps future classic?
Um, I did a thing. I can't add to this collection too crazily because they are quite expensive. But I have been eyeing these kinds of dolls and finally decided to go for it and I'm not sorry! I love them! And this picture with Mittens is the perfect way to introduce them :)
The smart marque began as a collaboration between Volkswagen and the Swiss watch brand Swatch. After VW pulled out from the project, Daimler-Benz stepped in to provide the vehicle architecture.
The first smart brand car was launched in 1998. The car was a short two-seat city car. The car was known as the Smart City Coupe and Smart City Cabriolet.
A second line was added in 2003 the Smart Roadster (R452) shown, and the Smart Roadster Coupe (C452). The two shared the basic architecture and design, differing primarily in the Roadster having a flat luggage/engine lid behind the rollbar, while the Roadster Coupe had a glass hatch section in the place. Both cars had a removable 'targa' panel over the two occupants, spanning the windscreen and the rollbar.
The Roadster and Roadster Coupe also shared many mechanical systems with the Smart city car (to be renamed Smart Four-Two in 2004), including the engine/transmission systems and suspension. The Smart Roadster and Roadster Coupe had a much lower set 'Tridion' safety cell.
For such an appealing compact sportscar, the Smart Roadster had a short lifespan, being removed from market at the end of 2005.
No, not Stagecoach Smart, the smart ticketing system. Stagecoach North East's SN65 OJD (37313) is seen leaving South Shields bus depot before taking up its days work. It wears a smart DOTS branding. This is for services 3, 4, 7 and 8 that connect South Shields town centre and Harton Nook... joining the dots. SN65OJD was new in September 2015 to Stagecoach Busways. The operation was acquired from Busways Travel Services. It is an Alexander Dennis (ADL) E20D/ADL Enviro 200. The inspector at the depot was really nice.

WIP on the mauve Winterberry shirts. They will be done soon finally, look to an update at the end of the month. It will probably be my largest update for a while, I don't think I make this many laborious items for an update again, they will be smaller so that it won't take as long in the future.
Direct Rail Services 68001 'Evolution' and 68026 looking smart despite the rain at Kingmoor Depot at the Direct Rail Services open day.
Neysa makes an ordinary street look good! Looking street smart, sassy & sweet in polka dots and black boots.
An attemt to build a small car. I like to call it a Smart, alltough some angles aren't caputred that well. The new 1 x 2 x 2 slopes work really well for these small cars.
A Lisbon Line 12 Castelo Circulação service heads away from Martim Moniz. Eléctrico tram 560 looked smart in the basic Carris fleet livery.

The smart pen is a space-age ballpoint pen embedded with a tiny camera that records the writer's every stroke and scribble. Using Bluetooth connectivity, researchers can instantly upload notes (or doodles) to a blank document page on a computer. If a lab is using multiple notebooks for the same experiment (or conducting multiple experiments), the smart pen can recognize which notebook is being used and upload the digital page to the correct digital notebook. Each page and notebook can be tagged with keywords for quick organization and later accessed by the whole team.
