Site News : Signature picture sizes
Posted by smartroad on 03/07/2008 16:27:46 (10 reads)

Just a quick reminder really. I have had a couple of comments made to me about the size of signatures (the text under a persons post). Can people ensure that it is no larger then 640px by 240px MAX and no more then about 20-30k. There are a number of people still on dial-up as broadband isn't available in their area and large signature pictures slow the loading of a page down.

Many thanks for your understanding and co-operation.

Regards,
smartroad

Site News : Site speed
Posted by smartroad on 16/05/2008 14:52:28 (39 reads)

As part of finding out what is causing the site to slow down at times we are going to be looking at the modules that are currently running and removing them one at a time.

No data will be lost as we have a backup, but some modules will dissapear and reappear at times. Please do not email us if a module isn't there, we know

Many thanks for your understanding.

Events : TheRoadster.net Trackday
Posted by smartroad on 13/05/2008 08:50:00 (37 reads)

TheRoadster.net is holding its annual Trackday on the 26th July. It is held at the Haynes Motor Museum on their track of a mear 1.2km length, the Roadster can be tested to the limits on the tight corners rather then worrying about the straight line speed! As we all know the Roadster is better on corners then on the straights.

It costs £89 per car for the day, we will have 10 7 cars in total and be managing the time people are on the track for; to maximise the time on the track for all.

So if you are intersted in coming along then check out the advert page for more details and to apply.

It is a great day out for all!


Update 23/06/2008 reduced numbers to 7 places due to reduced interest in this event, this however will allow those taking part more time on the circuit. - madDan

Welcome to the NEW LOOK TheRoadster.net!!

Finally we have got over to the new server This new place still has a few minor issues, but hopefully will work far better then the last place did!

We hope you like the new look for us and hopefully the new stability!

On one note, we were unable to get the latest database downloaded so have gone from a backup of a few days ago, losing some posts and data along the way, we apologise for this and hope you can forgive us!

Smart News : The official line from smart on Aircon pipe fractures
Posted by madDan on 13/02/2008 19:53:58 (206 reads)
Smart News

I received the following reply in response to my querey to UK DCUK customer services.

Ignore the confusion about them trying to investigate my problem, I only asked for the official line on what they were or were not willing to do regarding the common aircon pipe fractures at the compressor

*********************************
Dear Mr Milligan

smart Model: Smart Roadster Coupe
Chassis No: ***********************
Registration: ***************

I write with reference to your telephone call of 8th February 2008, in which you requested our official statement with regards to the air conditioning pipes on the smart Roadster Coupe.

We can hereby confirm that we do not accept there to be a design fault with the air conditioning pipes.

We were sorry to learn that you have experienced difficulties with the air conditioning pipes on your smart. However, as you have now completed the repairs yourself, we are not able to check your smart in a failed state. Therefore, we cannot comment on the fault you have experienced, determine the cause of the failures or conclude whether these failures were due to a manufacturing defect. We trust you will appreciate our position in this.

We apologise we are unable to provide further assistance in this matter, but thank you for contacting us and providing us the opportunity to address your concerns.


Yours sincerely

Lisette Klaassen

Strange how they have my car recorded as a CoupƩ???

So there you go!

There is no problem with the pipes

Events : Camping event 2008
Posted by smartroad on 29/01/2008 17:30:46 (111 reads)

Full details are now up for the Camping Event 2008! Click here or on the banner for all information.

As an aside, as people have asked, nothing more then the venue has been organised. We work on the principle that it is easier for people to sort out between themselves if they wish to go anywhere. So if there is somewhere you want to go then you can, if you wish to go on your own you can or you can invite others!

There may be a BBQ one evening and I might provide a cooked breakfast But other then that, it is up to you guys as to what you want to do!

Could people PM me when you have booked and paid so I have an idea of numbers. Many thanks!
