Don't try to do a J-turn in a smart!

Found this on a smart forum and felt honour bound to distribute it

Looks like he's eaten a few more pies before entering the world of Smart. *EDIT* Actually he looks more like Alan, Tucker's best mate from early Grange Hill.

Great post Smartbrabus Nice one.

I get a 135K mov file that doesn't work?!?

 

[pammy]

it worked for me - but tbh it was over so quick and taken from the inside of the car that you don't get the full effect of Smart falling over

 

[scotth_uk]

I was in stitches. Sounds like it wasn't his first time.

 

[GrahamC230K]

Works now

Priceless.

A little worrying though, not exactly a high speed manauver.

I was disappointed too! Driver needs more practice.

OMG he had to be doing all of 5mph max
And people complain about reliant robins

As Scot says... The "" **** Not again!" comment is priceless. Remind me never to let that person anywhere near my car.

Do we know who the passenger was. He appeared more upset than the driver??

Nice one,
John

Looks kinda fake too me...

 

[smartbrabus]

It seems real enough... here's the unfortunate passenger's glass cuts.

By his own account the driver had some kind of accident and wrote off his previous smart (with the same passenger!)... hence the "not again"

Fair play to 'em for publicising the video though, if that were me I'd destroy the tape at the first opportunity!

Here's a rather more successful attempt at a J-turn, not performed in a Smart though
