Yes Peter, it is! My Islander Co-Worker saw this and couldn't resist. He knows of my Mini-ness and is a Smart Car owner.
Regarding the cars intelligence, I'd have to say, in terms of computing power, the Smart wins hands down. However, we all know about the intelligence of the Owners. Far higher for us Mini owners, of course, with a touch of either insanity or masochism!
The Times reporter interviewed Gordon Smith,61, Samoa member and the owner of the Mini. How Gordon ended up in an article about seed potatos I don't know. Perhaps he'll chime in. Don
