My first car was a K-reg Volvo 440, bought when I was 23. I'd passed my test when I was 18, but as I couldn't afford to buy a car or run it then I waited five years, saving my wages from my weekend job in Marks & Spencers to buy the Volvo before I started my first teaching post. I loved that car and kept it for five years, before changing it for a Renault Scenic. Two further Scenics later and I have vowed never to own another French car; they are so expensive to fix! In the Summer, my latest one proved too expensive to keep and so I've been driving a runaround for a month or so.
Until yesterday.
Yesterday we picked up our first ever BRAND NEW car. And oh boy, did the car showroom make us feel special!
(I might want to sleep in it, to keep it safe!)

Linking up to My Sunday Photo
How exciting… and what a fun action shot to capture the moment ;D
Enjoy!
It was a very magic moment, such fun!
Fabulous shot, you can sense the excitement in The Boy, even though you can't see his face! Brilliant photo x Enjoy the new car 🙂
Thank you, we might have done a bit of unnecessary driving so that we could really test it out 😉
Awesome! You can see just how excited your boy is to uncover your brand new transportation! Takes me back to the excitement of getting my first car….then the next, and the next, and the..well, you get the point.
This really makes me look forward to being able to to do this with my daughter one day too. She's only 10 months old, so I guess we have some time to save! 🙂
Enjoy the new car, and I won't judge if you do sleep in it!
Thank you for not judging, it's just so lovely and new I don't want anyone to damage or take it, and I want to inhale the freshness of it all. Finding it very difficult letting people wear shoes in it at the moment in case they make it dirty!
Now that is an experience he will never forget. Great moment to catch with a photo.
I'm not going to either, feels so rewarding to have finally got to the point of buying a brand new car.
Ta-dah! Love that photo. What an exciting way to pick up your new car. I passed my test at 17 and got my first car at 25! I've only had two cars of my own – I have to share the new car with my husband.
We are supposed to share this one as well, my previous car was paid for entirely by me so it was my car; but this is a joint payment so shared. In my name though and I'll be the main driver so I give it a month before it's *my* car 😉
Fantastic photo – enjoy your new car 🙂
Thank you, it's so exciting!
Oh how exciting – what a fab shot too 🙂
It was very exciting, think that'll last a few weeks yet.
Fantastic! I love the smell of new cars (not that I have ever owned one myself) ! Enjoy the newness! #mysundayphoto
It is a lovely newness which involves people wiping their feet before they get in it and not eating in it. I'm sure it'll last two weeks!
How exciting, I love how the dealership made it exciting for you all. Hope you are enjoying your new car x
I couldn't stop laughing it was so funny to be so dramatic!
I love this, great that they made you feel special and didn't just take the money and run.
This also reminds me of that episode in Friends with Joey and his Porsche
Thank you for linking up
The car salesman joked the same thing as we were pulling it off 😉
That is SO exciting, a brand new car! How amazing that they made it so special for you all.
I didn't expect that at all, so lovely.
How exciting is this photo and wow, I can just imagine the face on the boy when he saw the new car!! x
I actually love the car, is that sad?
How exciting!! You can see your boy is so excited without even seeing his face x
We both were so excited, still riding high on that.
How exciting, but please don't sleep in it, eat in it or even let the kids in it or it won't stay new for long…lol
I've had the seats coated in PVC, no I jest but they are coated in some repellent. I'm already out to hoover up some of the grains of dirt in there.
Ooh, you are so lucky. There is nothing like getting a new car. ENJOY! 🙂
Oh, I bet you were all excited. Also, what a lovely memory for the Boy xx
Awww. As I was a salesperson in the car trade before being a mum, I was always the one getting things like this ready. One day I would love to be the one doing the big reveal. Great photo. #mysundayphoto
It was such a special thing to do, I really appreciated it. I honestly wasn't expecting it.
Awww! I love this, it takes me back to the D-reg Nissan Micra I had after I passed my test.
I also remember my (one and only, probably for ever) brand new car, paid for with my money. I loved it so much having that freedom of choice when buying new (I was 29, pre-children and bought a convertible).
Needless to say, my next excitement of that scale will be seeing the children have that experience.
I hope you are enjoying yours! Lots of exciting journeys ahead no doubt! x
How cool is this. I would love to unveil a brand new car!
What an awesome picture and great capture. Enjoy x
Do enjoy the new car!~
Like opening a xmas gift! That amazing feeling =) #mysundayphoto
Love this shot, so exciting!
