    The Smart Car Starbug.

    “I think a Blue Midget would’ve been better. It’s More suited to the fortwo’s compact dimensions.”

    Not my words. The Words of A SmartCar Maniac’s Forum poster.

    While looking around the web at BTE review comments, this amused me to repost it here. I love the fact that clearly 2 of this guys hobbys so nearly but not quite met up in a way he liked from a design viewpoint. Totally missing the dominant iconography, and indeed pun joke of the Carbug.

    Also The production team could of used this other guy…

    “There’s other ways to get into a locked smart without any damage. Obviously I’m not gonna divulge these on a web forum!”

    While we’re on the subject of Blue Midget – I never worked out the difference between Blue Midget, White Midget and White Giant. I seem to recall all three being mentioned at least once in the series, but they all seemed to look the same as Blue Midget. At least Starbug was split into Starbug 1 and Starbug 2, much easier to follow! :P

    I seem to remember that White Midget was an error in the Bodyswap script. They changed the design of the model to Blue Midget but forgot to change the script.

    I think White Giant is used in the books, yeah.

    But White Midget wasn’t a Blue Midget redesign – it was Starbug. Starbug was originally white, until they realised it looked like a bug, so they painted it green.

    The original design for White Midget/Giant was in the revised Programme Guide. I think.
