Wahay! I love getting a new car.
OK, it's used not new, but I still had a bit of trouble nodding off to sleep last night and woke up before the alarm went off
Any other middle-aged people out there still act like a kid of Christmas Eve before day?
Middle aged, yes, excited about picking up the XC90 on Wednesday - nope. First car in 20 years I've not been giddy about, reality of family life. Practicality takes priority these days...OK, it's used not new, but I still had a bit of trouble nodding off to sleep last night and woke up before the alarm went off

But enjoy the new car, they look very cool.
OK, here's the detail:
Jaguar XJ6 3.0 V6 SOVEREIGN 4DR AUTO 2005
59k miles
Plenty of spec including Jaguar premium sound system, which is rather bloody good, it has to be said
Bi-Xenon headlights are great and the ride on the 19s is much better than I expected
Heated seats are lovely and looking forward to trying the heated front windscreen over the next few weeks
3.0 V6 feels up to the job of motorway cruiser, a V8 would be have been nice but I'll be putting 25k-30k miles on this car next year.
Will put up some pics when I get them off of my phone.

Congrats Matt. Hope you enjoy your new wheels.
I'm also about to chop my car in for another - mostly for practical considerations , it has to be said and the new car is more my OHs choice than mine (it will be hers to use after a year or so - won't bore you with the rationale behind this). For this reason, it's one of the first cars I have bought which is a "head" purchase rather than a "heart" one.
Even so, I'm still really looking forward to it! I love spending hours in the classifieds and I really hope that the excitement of getting a new (to me) car never wears off.
The only exception (which I hope NEVER EVER happens to me) is when I'm an old giffer and have to get a boring, small shopping wagon with no redeeming features or enjoyment to it to "see me out"- if you like, a motoring equivalent of Eastbourne. <shudder>
