5 days with Blip

[Blip]

Well had the pleasure of Blip for nearly a week. Love it. Still getting used to the gear changes and very hard suspension, that scary jump sideways when you hit a dip in road a bit fast.
My biker friends approve even though they call him anything from a sidecar to a Tupperware box!
MPG fine, never been anal about how much cars do, got too many to even start worrying.
Still leaving about 10ft behind me when I park but that will come in time.
Do love him, looks so cute. Just ordered private plate: J13 BLP
Would never pay £17000 for new one but like what I got for £3700.

If it has the "full" Brabus suspension with the silver Brabus dampers (which apparently isn't actually standard on the Brabus 450) you find the ride is actually better than the normal non-Brabus 450s. Ours rides much better than our previous Pulse & Passion models.

It is firm, but it's well damped and you really don't crash over road imperfections anywhere near as badly as the lesser models.

Well after the Mini suspension it is OK.
Just so cute, I park her up & just look at her little smiling face! next thing is a visit to S2Smart in Watford for a chat about tuning.
