    My D3 is closer to reality than I thought :)

    I dropped down to my dealer today to get a few prices on a couple of accessories for the D3.

    Low and behold I'm told the car is already at LRA and it may arrive at the dealer next week. Then about a week or so for predelivery.

    Maybe in 2-3 weeks I can be in the D3 [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] .

    While at the dealer I took a TDV6 for a drive and it is hard to believe its a diesel. Its a bit slower off the line compared to the V8 but once its moving you need to watch the speed because its so quiet inside. It'll take me a bit of time to get used to the size of the vehicle and the floating sensation from the air suspension (I'm sure I'll cope).

    Why, do they have to assemble it first.

    There were 2 Disco 3's at the LROCV meeting the other night. One dealer one and a TDV6 owned by a new member ( first one in the club).

    Very nice piece of gear...

    I saw the TDV6 on the way to the meeting... I Damn nearly took out a light pole while turning a corner and trying to get a better look at the same time 8O ops: 8O

    Glad I missed it........ would have missed out on getting a close look at the meeting [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

    You shouldnt have gone in, you would have been better off not knowing. The next few weeks will be the slowest few weeks of your life. It will feel like you are still waiting till august. Cant wait for the photos. matt

    I reckon the next 2-3 weeks will go pretty quick. It's got to be better than waiting 5 weeks. The D3 was due end April and then 2-3 weeks to get it.

    Certainly I can post pics on the Forum and more of the first trip up to the High Country in May.

    Getting the D3 before the end of the month will give me more time to do the following before the trip up to the HC:
    -Find a spot to mount the UHF aerial and the TX/RX
    -Run a permanent 12VDC down the back for the fridge
    -Fit a removable carpeted ply base to the rear cargo area to fix the fridge and recovery gear etc... onto.
    -Fit the fire extinguisher.

    Is a bull bar a factory option, or havent they gotten that far? I dont suppose anyone knows if ARB or the boys at TJM have started or finished work on one? Matt

    About ARB working on D3 accessories. Apparently they are getting delivery of one very shortly to start accessorising it. From what I was told a bullbar is on the agenda- don't know what else.

    A snorkel would be good. Safari 4*4 didn't have it on their radar when I emailed them a couple of months ago but I reckon they might have changed their minds by now.
