The Bluecabby

My wife Sandra first mentioned about the Smart; she liked the look of it, well I have always been into performance cars and just said, “yes” in the right places, you know what I mean? One summer’s day Sandra found a dealer selling Smarts talked me into going and there they all were! Sandra had the first drive and came back all smiles. I had a go, just to show willing, and was impressed with the build and the way the little thing performed.

We started to look for our first Smart. We found it locally in Bristol, a Bay Grey passion LHD with only 8 miles on the clock so we purchased it. During the trip home from picking the car up the engine went BANG! just 40 miles on the clock, a new one had to be fitted and all was OK until we had a problem with the back window. We booked the car in to have the problem fixed. Sandra and myself were sent into the showroom and there it was, BLUECABBY with paddle shift, leather heated seats, CD changer, speaker up-grade, air con, and a silver Tridion (it’s a Pulse).[pay]

A week later we took delivery of BLUECABBY and immediately knew we wanted bigger wheels and a few other mods. I managed to organise the wheels after many phone calls to South West Tyres in Clevedon. AGM copy 17” wheels with a fitting kit, the tyres are Silverstone FTZ sport 205/40/17 all round for £825. This was just the start - the car now has a Stainless Steel scoop brought at the Graydon meet, a remap by Smarts-r-us, K and N air filter, blue dials, meshed grilles and a dump valve.

We love this little car and intend to spend more on mods. I want a twin exit exhaust, one either side, and with so many available with very different qualities I am sitting on the fence until somebody says “this is the best” then I will get one. I am also thinking of tints, and some more alloy for the interior.
