Liam and Paul met each other 15 years ago through mutual friends and soon became good buddies. Whenever Paul was home he would spend many an hour with Liam tinkering with one car or another and conversely Liam would often escape to some corner of Europe where Paul would be performing music.

As with most friendships, business was often discussed and over a period of time it became clear that they should find a method of combining their skills.

In 1999 whilst Paul was on tour, the Smart car was launched to an unsuspecting European public and it was therefore only a matter of time before both Liam and Paul found the opportunity to test drive one of these strange machines. They both immediately saw the UK potential for the Smart but realised that the somewhat conservative British weren't quite ready for this motoring marvel

A brief trawl of the internet revealed that were several companies in Euroland creating all manner of parts and accessories for Smart cars and very few of these were selling or
distributing parts to the UK

The opportunity was therefore seized to secure UK distribution rights with the most prominent players in the European market
thus securing and protecting the growth of this business

It wasn't long until the toy like appearance of the Smart led Liam to christen this new venture
"Smarts-R-us".  Click here for Page 2

Fast forward to spring, 2002. Paul and Liam are in Switzerland again discussing all things business and pick up a German tuning magazine.
There within it's pages was this Smart car and it was like no other Smart car they had ever seen. This was a Smart car with the kind of attitude and street credibility the Brits would love. They both new what they had to do.
