Now that the whole family have moved to Doomadgee SWMBO & I have been discussing (a nice term for arguing) about the need to have 2 cars, 2 lots of rego, 2 lots of insurance & 2 lots of vehicle maintenance.
So, it ended up, that 1 car had to go. After further even more robust discussion it was decided (Decreed) that the D3 would go & the Delica would stay!
On a purely practical level this makes sense. The Delica has more room, is 4WD, is cheaper to service, has been 100% reliable, has much more space when all the seats are being used, is easy to drive & most of the roads around here these days don't need a heavy duty 4WD.
On an emotional level, it is a big blow. We trucked the D3 out on Friday to be sold, I was 1 cranky old man the rest of the week-end!![bigsad]
I know I'll get used to it & SWMBO has agreed that once our finances have improved I can look at another one (maybe even a D4, 3lt) & I know that we have to not let emotion get in the road but I'm sure going to miss that mobile block of flats!
I still have the Series 2A parked up in Mt Isa so I guess I'm still a LR owner so I will hang around here & put in my inane comments occasionally. Hopefully in a couple of years we/I can start looking for that D4.[bighmmm]
