Newbie to the forum
by Clayton McCranor Sat 17 Mar 2018 - 11:48
Hello everyone,
My name is Clayton and I have been a proud Wind owner for just under a year.
I first saw a Wind parked up in Horsham about two and a half years ago and promised myself that when my trusty Smart Roadster went to the great car park in the sky I would get one. A year and a half later my dream was realised. I am now the proud owner of a 1.2 Collection.
I see another black one in or around Gatwick Airport (H Staff Car Park mostly) on the odd occasion but apart from that sightings locally have been sparse.
Below is a photo of mine just before I picked it up. It used to live in or around Bury apparently.
Anyway, I look forward to chatting
All the best
Clayton

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Now all you need to do is buy a ticket to Silverstone and show off your Wind. (Shame it's black, BLUE is better)

Hi Clayton,
Smart Roadsters seems to be a common ‘also had’ car amongst Wind owners!

Welcome aboard.
We set out to search for a Wind to buy having never seen one in England.
We had only seen two before on our travels. one in Cannes & the other in Rapallo, & that was enough to tempt us.
It has to work for it's living having taken over from an MGTF160 as our European holiday tourer.
Forget the Smart you get a proper gearbox with the Wind & even when it's carrying a full set of golf clubs & a trolley or loads of holiday baggage the roof still goes down.
What more could you ask for?
ENJOY!!

Welcome. I too was eying up a Smart Roadster, but then I read about its common engine issues and was put off.
How does it compare to the Wind?
