My turn to be ridiculously excited - my first AMG!
Discussion
05:00 and I’m wide awake Daft at my age, but the moment I stop getting excited about cars will be a very, very sad day.
Collecting my new toy later - 55 plate SLK55 AMG...
Sold my Abarth 595 a few weeks ago and was looking to buy a 996. I read so many articles about IMS, RMS, bore scoring and other potentially ruinous issues that I’ve put 911 ownership on hold for now...seems a 997.2 is where I need to be. It can wait.
For now, the ‘55 is a very enticing prospect - a huge V8 in a ‘ladies that lunch’ car! That noise

I'm in my fifties now, and I still love that excitement I feel in the days leading up to getting a new car. The day itself reminds me of Christmas morning as a kid - enjoy!
Yep, me too on all points!juice said:
Have been waiting for this post to arrive !
Hoping for a dry window of weather for you
Thanks - Forecast looking good!Hoping for a dry window of weather for you
Pictures later
Is it here yet, is it here yet?!?!
Love that new car feeling, nothing beats it, congrats on your purchase. Put the spec up and review your drive home when you get a minute. i expect no updates for the rest of the day whilst you go and seek a country lane or two - followed by the obligatory picture at the petrol station (it is an AMG after all)

OP is going to have to change his screen name!
New Car Collection Days are the best days - the closest feeling I get to Christmas Eve when I was a 10 year old kid hoping to get my hands on that new bike (I'm in my 50th year so predate games console euphoria!).
Enjoy your day !!!! (Sounds like something people say to a bride on her wedding day, but never to the groom!)

The obligatory fuelling up shot
Always take a photo here of my news cars - farm track just up the lane
My word, that noise
Journey of just under 100 miles on M25 and M40. Lots of traffic so mostly at 60mph or so, but lots of revs... 27mpg!! Impressive....
Rides really well, very comfortable and the colour is fabulous in the sun
I might get over selling the Abarth...
