Hah hah.....

I bought my wife a new Smart last year, they're great fun. It's an all black one with...wait for it...700 mighty turbocharged cc's. Mrs Jools wanted an automatic version, so we bought the one with the option to switch between fully automatic and semi automatic. When you drive it in semi auto it is suprisingly nippy, perfect for a runabout car. They're so cleverly designed as well, they're like a tardis inside 'cos you can't quite believe that there is so much room in such a small car.

They're probably too girly for most blokes, but whenever I drive it I find myself with a big grin, especially when parking space is tight (as it always is up our road) and you can park it tail onto the kerb. I reckon they're the new mini and capture the cheeky spirit of the original mini much better than the actual new mini, if you see what I mean.

Oh yes, a name...well you can have anything you like but you can't have the name Billy, that's already taken 'cos that's what my wifes Smart is called.

Billy Smart - circus car...geddit
