Default I'm getting excited.....about a Volvo!
So the Volvo dealer has confirmed that our new XC60 will be delivered on Tuesday!

Even though this is a different, less exciting type of car to my previous purchases I now have new car butterflies.

Spec is:

XC60 D5 Geartronic R-Design Premium with Convenience pack.
Ice white with Black-Black interior
20" Cratus
Front and rear parking sensors
Panoramic roof
Rear tints


Roll on Tuesday!
