I need some, I'm picking up my new RRS after a year away and know I am never going to sleep tonight with the excitement

I am thinking 8 cans of Stella may help.

Roll on tomorrow 7.30

Try counting RRS's driving through a ford?

8 cans of stella you may be over the limit still in the morning...... either that or the wife may get a black eye ! In the North Stella is known as wife beating juice.

Congrats on the new car ! 

I left the stella alone in the end, but net result woke up at 4.30. Just spent my time looking for colour coding parts on ebay

Stella means the same down here, but never drink that much or I would be the one gettiung battered

Post some pics when it arrives!!

This is what I wrote on here back in 2007 the night before I got my new RRS :


We should do a "night before you pick up your new car" counselling service here. Its now 4.15am and I can't sleep. Might just be the head cold everyone in the family seems to have developed, the return of the weirdly mild weather outside, or simply the irressistable urge to get up and go get the new car syndrome. Find myself saying over and over, "what time is it", "will they be open yet", "can I set off already", "what have I forgotten", "what might go wrong so when I get there they say - sorry, but you can't have it" ....etc, etc.

Totally reminds me of 2 things. The way an 8 year old feels the night before Christmas, and the way an adult male feels when his wife is 9 months pregnant and the new arrival could be here very soon....

There is a whole range of emotional undertones going on ...... There is a tinge of guilt in here - why am I spending so much on a new car, when I already have a perfectly good one ? Am I doing the right thing, and Worry - will everything be alright ? There's some excitment - what will she be like ? Its a bit like that short walk upstairs with a new girl friend when you are a student. Will she perform. Will I perform. Will it be great, or just good, or really disappointing. Will I respect her afterwards, is the anticipation better than the event, will this spoil a beautiful relationship. Will I regret this.......

Its a bit unnerving that the Landrover website still seems in denial that a TDv8 really exists. I can't comfort myself by going on there and "building" my new car - which is how I managed the anxiety befor picking up the TDv6 last year.... Maybe the TDv8 is all in my imagination and I am going to wake up from a good / bad dream ...?

Pathetic, ain't it . Like only 4 am in the morning can achieve.

Its only a bloody car and loads of money after all ............  RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini
Disco 4 TDv6 HSE Ipanema
