I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve
« on: March 26, 2007, 11:46:10 »
I just can't concentrate on work today!

At 5pm today, we will be heading out to Pickering to collect our new Land Rover.  It's a big step for us, having always bought cheap cars and kept them until MoT time.  Makes us feel all grown up.   :D

Wow are you getting something brand spanking new? What ya getting? Is the road tax gonna be outrageously expensive :? Have fun whatever, I am sure it will be great. Have never bought a brand new car but I can imagine it being just like christmas too :wink:

Not quite brand new.  Couldn't stretch to that.

An '03 Freelander TD4 ES Premium.  Tax is band F, so just escaped that.

The missus did fall in love with a Range Rover while in the showroom.  I told her that if she can find £62k, she can have one.   :D

I have been informed that I should consider myself VERY lucky if I am even permitted to drive TO work in it.   :oops:

Don't worry, I'll work on it.  I am allowed to add a MC sticker and Duckie though.   :D

She's been looking at cherished numbers.  I suggested a MUD one and nearly got a slap.   :oops:

ahhh, you need to ease her in to getting it muddy slowly, I suggest buying her presents, start with a small "present" like a mud number plate, then a slightly larger present like a snorkel then a nice shiney new set of MTs then a winch! and hey presto there you go darling ive bought you all these lovely presents and in return i think you should let me take it for a little play in the mud! absolutley fool proof idea (probably)

Oh I don't know the number plate looks very appropriate for a land rover :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:






hat and coat? oh thankyou






Doesn't look bad for a land rover though :wink:

The missus doesn't like the plate either, which is why she has been looking at cherished numbers.
