... Getting her washed this week, ready for the smartfest! :)

Getting 'her' washed....'her'  ???
A Brabus is a 'mans' car... >:(   lots of huff n puff...and firm n strong..just like a man.  ;)
It's ok to call an A-Class 'her', but defo not a Brabus !  :-[
'Vingis' the Brabus...sounds manly.  8)

But apart from that, your 'getting it washed' ! !  ::) Ha..get your hands wet...
touch n feel your car...bond with it as you clean n polish it..... :o
(Yeah right...don't believe a word of it)
LOL.....

 :) That's true! On the longer journeys my mpg figures in the Brabus are far better than when I'm on short trips.
My trip computers (fuel) miles go gradually up, instead of down.
If I drive at an average speed... ;)

Today, My Brabus-Tardis "Total Millage" Hit 15000 miles!
 Hehe so far in my tank I have a mixture of fuels: Esso 97, BP Ultimate 97 and Shell Vpower! Is that healthy? And the Tank is now full lol :) :)

Fourth week of ownership:
My Millage has bumped up a bit, while traveling the country:

She loved playing with all her friends at the smart fest and being very noisy on entering the smart fest tubing with over 17 other forfours!
Baggy took the Tardis for a spin and loved it and I've now got Momentum 99 fuel in her! All good this week!  8)
