There used to be a 'show room' which consisted of about 6 smart cars stacked on top of each other in a glass dispenser! They are very popular in London and outside. The limited power is not too important as the cars weight very little. Personally I love them, especially the <a href="http://www.panoramas.dk/smart/" rel="nofollow">i-Move</a> which is a smart car fitted out perfectly with an iPod! It is true that in an accident you don't have much protection but given most are rarely driven above 30 mph in urban areas the protection is good enough. The favourite version of the car at the moment is the Smart Roadster, I know someone who has one and it is fantastic! They sure do have them here.

Stewart, do they have these things in the UK? What do you think of them?
