To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.
So sung Andy Williams many years ago.
Taking the words to heart we bought a second hand smart car, entered one of Europe’ s premier road races The Cannonball Run and
competing against top calibre supercars flown in especially for the race we:
BEAT THEM
2008 Ten years almost to the day when the mighty smart first rolled of the production line zoomzoomsmart rolled of the start line of
the 2008 cannonball run. 3000 miles, Four countries later topping out at 120mph the smart returned to Brighton achieving the distinction
of being the only car in the history of the race to hit the 61mph average dead.
Read the exciting exploits from the very beginning before the car was even bought to the worldwide attention the car achieved after the
race. Gasp at the knowledge you will gain from Donald Ducks Birthday to when the first e-mail was sent, from the plethora of fine wines
Tesco offers to where Benoit Assou-Ekotto the Spurs player (apparently ) was born , oh and loads of car stuff as well. Read of almost
200mph duelling in Portugal, a Police roadblock with TV camera’s and helicopter in Spain, a 175mph high speed chase in France,
Parties that split relationships, Parties that took over towns, Parties where sexual conquests were had and lost, but mainly Parties
that were full of drink and good times.
LIVE THE DREAM before the bloody recession came along.
