Today, John Brooks, Rod Chong and I passed our time blasting through the Autobahn at top speed, in the air conditioned comfort of our hired Lexus, as we watched the German countryside pass quickly through the side windows of the car.
As we bumped Rod’s custom “1971” mix of funk and soul music out of the Lexus/Mark Levinson speakers, John called out the names of the artists, and made comments to the likes of “I remember when this song was new” or “Thumbs down! Rod, this song was rubbish back when it was new, and it certainly hasn’t gotten better over time. Next song please!”
When we finally arrived at our destination and checked into our very posh and luxurious hotel, I wanted to do nothing more than explore the town at night and find an underground hip hop club full of gorgeous blue eyed German females.
However, we Speedhunters are certainly a dedicated bunch – since most of us have been busy traveling over the past few days, we needed to catch up on posting site content – after all, someone has to edit and upload the photos for the posts that we write. We do this for our readers – most of whom visit our site every day to look at photos and read the new updates. So tonight, that someone is me. Sigh, I guess the German ladies will have to wait.
Check out this car – the other night, as Rod and I walked through downtown Frankfurt with our friend Danilo, we spotted this Smart Car! But wait – this Smart doesn’t look like the normal tiny ball-shaped Smart fortwos I’m used to seeing! Rod pointed out that this was a Smart Roadster Coupe, which I’ve never before seen in North America. I pointed out that it had a pretty decent lip on the rear wheels, which neither of us have ever seen before on a Smart car!
After consulting with our resident expert, Andy Blackmore, I found out
that this Smart Roadster Coupe actually ended production in 2006. How
sad! I like the way it looks!
The car in question is a Smart Roadster Coupe. I like the way the rear of the car looks – it kind of looks Honda CRX-ish but with S2000 style taillights. I dig the dual exhaust in the center, but I dig the fat lip wheels even more! I do think the wheels could be just a tad wider, or possibly the owner could just small spacers to push the rear wheels out a little more for a perfect look. For the front, it just needs wider wheels plain and simple… but I love this car! I’d definitely be down to test drive this thing! It is the coolest looking Smart car I’ve ever seen!
Check out the side view – kind of BMW M coupe-ish, don’t you think? I dig it. I should have put a Speedhunters flyer on the car’s window to go along with the other club flyers on there.
HID projector headlights and foglights under the bumper. This car definitely looks cool! I can’t wait to see one with wider front wheels and alot more front camber!
