Can't sleep I'm so excited... Only 10 more hours til V day

So today I picked up my Van and I am in love
It poured through blue mountains and she held the road so well I am amazed. As I never got to drive one more than 10 minutes this 3 hour journey in all conditions was perfect.
Got 8.0 l per 100 on freeway at 120.
