Nearly one week on from collecting my 500 and just had to say I'm completely in love! Adore everything about him - so much so that I have actually, wait for it.......washed him by hand!!! Probably an unremarkable feat for most of you out there but for me, quite unheard of. Decided that I couldn't possibly bear to subject my pride and joy to the ordeal of a car wash. In the process discovered that E-cloths (those cleaning cloths that you use without any products) are brilliant for a final polish/drying off - I used a chamois prior to that and the overall result is great.

As I said, so happy :D with my bambino, love the colour and have a big smile on my face everytime I get in him. More or less got to grips with the basisc of Blue and Me although not sure why it sometimes says 'No Media' when memory stick is in place - taking it out and putting it back in usually does the trick.

Looking forward to hours more happy driving!

Glad you are enjoying the 500 KJ, there really is something about the car that makes you want to lavish attention on it! And talk to others about it too!

If you want any cleaning or detailing advice, there are a few people on here who can offer a wealth of experience and advice. Have you posted any pics by the way? Hope you continue enjoying it! :D

;) Good to hear you're enjoying your car, I still love mine just as much!

Thanks notts - I agree there's just something about these little cars..... although my husband thinks it's hilarious when I take the manual to read in bed! He's putting my infatuation down to a mid-life crisis but agrees it's preferable to some of the alternatives!!!

Hahaha! :D I might have to give my car a clean sometime, the whole front of the car looks as though I drove through a whole swarm of flies, and as for the back... :p

I know exactly what you mean KJ, I've had mine since September last year and I still cannot stay out of it (y)

I can count on one hand the amount of times I got my last car washed and I had that for 3 years - just hated it lol

Just got a new mobile phone so will see if i can make the blue & me work - hopefully it will :slayer:

Carry on enjoying and well done for washing the car yourself - I wouldnt let anyone else wash it, couldnt bare to see any scratches on my poor little lovely :D
