    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!

    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…

    On my way home, I crossed paths with a very nice Black 2003 Smart Roadster Coupe, with some rather striking green vinyl stripes.

    Yet again, an entire Shell GTL fuel station is out of order for the weekend

    On the way back from the social gathering in Middelfart, with the Danish Smart club, I dropped in at Shells Truck Stop in Odense, to fill up my Fortwo’s tank with GTL fuel. I have written quite a bit about Shell, their GTL Diesel and customer service lately. I had hoped that I was done…

    Smart Meet Middelfart

    I visited the Danish Smart Clubs local mini meet in Middelfart, on Funen today. I tried to lure some fellow Zealanders to cross the great belt bridge, and most of Funen with me. I had hoped that we could get a little convoy with at least 5 Smarts, but when the time came, I was…

    My Cabiolet soft top gets a thorough clean

    My little Smart Fortwo Cabrio’s soft top hasn’t had a spa-day for a very long time. So last night it got a quick wash, its top got scrubbed, and at the end it got it’s top protected from the elements. I started out with cleaning the top with ValetPro Drop Top Cleaner. Then while the…
