The D3 has gone...the D2 has arrived :-)

**stevo68** · 28th March 2008, 01:10 PM

Well as most of you know I have sold my D3, they say it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all

. Quite simply with a growing business, one income and a family about to hit 7 all up, I couldn't justify $2000+ p.m for repayments, fuel, servicing etc. So it had to go. I will wait now for someone else to wear the depreciation

and hopefully they will bring out a TDV8, so it will not be my last D3...or maybe D4

.

Of course cannot do without a landy ( Nana Bolts might have something to say on that

) so I found an 03 Discovery 2 TD5, 7 Seater in a colour I like and with only 83000kms on the clock. It ticked all the boxes I needed and is ready for modifications..well in a couple of months. Good news it has 16inch rims so huge choice of tyres...yahoo. So here is my new beasty:

Yep, stock standard waiting for chipping, lifting, tyres, bull bar, rear bar, rock sliders, snorkel, rear locker and so on and so on, looking forward to testing it soon off road,

Regards

Very nice Stevo... bring on the modifications

Nice Stevo,

Glad to see you "upgraded" and lost that Renault van with a bonnet

Shame you couldn't get a real D2 (Epsom Green)

Good buy at low k's by the look of her. Hope she works out well for ya.

Looks the goods Stevo!

Although this was your big opportunity to upgrade to a Defender

**stevo68** · 28th March 2008, 01:58 PM

Thanks peoples, will take some getting used to, but am slowly falling for it

, great on fuel have done 200kms in it and still havent used quarter of a tank...the V8 would be at almost half a tank. Time to take it for a run to Brissie to pick up the kids...they havent seen it yet and are excited,

Regards

Stevo

Yes the D2 modification bug is strong in this one................

Nice truck mate and looking forward to assisting you with your modifications

Aye, Mick

P.S. Epsom Green is the best colour...... that is without question

Looks like I'll be flying the D3 flag all on my lonesome then

**Outlaw** · 28th March 2008, 03:10 PM

Nope still have 2 of you... one black and one white

That'd be Jon Hampson I think in the dark blue V6SE. Came out with us on Good Friday. Must try to do some D3 recruiting

Looks good.

I like the D2's just that they're harder to mod than a D1/RRC but after a few panel 'aleterations' it'l be all good

time to pull my finger out and get a RRC soon so I don't miss out on any of these great trips on the cards
