Default Sad Day

It's a sad day for me today because my current XC60 is off with it's new owner.
This leaves me without a main car until my new XC60 arrives. Does anyone else have the feeling of regret when their car is sold?
I'm also a little unsure about the fact that it's going to a family member, so fingers crossed that it behaves it's self.

Sold one of my classics last year and regretted it even as it left on the transporter, I've been looking for it ever since and had to buy an identical one this year to replace it.

It's a car, move on. It's only metal.

I know but I like my bits of metal.

So that you can keep a weather eye on your car - enter the details at

https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

and find out how well it is being looked after.

Because I have sold it to a cousin, I will see it occasionally and I know that my cousin is not particularly brilliant at looking after his cars. He will have it seviced etc, and cleaned at the local Polish car wash. But like said previously it's just a lump of metal, an expensive piece of metal, so worth looking after in my book. But each to their own.

That's very true, If I get my new car next week I will soon get over my loss. Ha Ha.
