    Talking My New Pride & Joy.

    Well Finally it arrived.


    As the description below says, it has all the options i wanted.
    I didnt opt for the 3.0Ltr as i thought the 2.7Ltr was good enough & i think i would of lost my licence in the first month.
    Couple of extra things i did was to fit side protection moulds & get them color coded, i like it some may not, The grill, both side vents & wheels are also painted the same color, "Shadow Chrome". The photo doesnt really show the color but those of you that know it, it is an awesome color.
    I didnt like the bright silver color on the vents & grill so changed it. Also didnt like the wheels, but had a set i purchased about a year ago. The 19" rims from the V8 HSE on the D3. I liked the wheels & always have. Saw a set of rims on some show cars & thought i may do that when i get one.
    Well i have & have enjoyed the vehicle heaps in the last 24hrs, Did a drive day today at work as i am also one of the instructors & decided to use my vehicle...I know why would you use your own vehicle. Well thats why i bought it for to enjoy.
    I have worked with the product for nearly 20yrs & a little over 10yrs with my current employer MLR & decided to get myself a nice gift. My wife(Barb), my 2 little munchkins (Eden & Olivia) & I can now travel this wonderful country in comfort.

    Sorry for the little rant, but i am one happy little puppy, I have had permagrin & we all love the vehicle.
    To all of you who are thinking about it, Dont think just do it, You wont be dissapointed.

    Pete

    Congratulations & Enjoy It.

    I went away in the D3 this week end up to the back of the Thompson Dam.

    The cars performance both on & off road still brings a grin.

    What it does as a standard car is amazing.

    Regards

    Chuck

    She looks beautiful. It'll be a tight squeeze for your wife tonight trying to share the bed with you and the landy.

    Can't wait for mine to arrive now, I have the same one on order, the tinted windows really make her look good.

    Congratulations
