Thats it.
the first step down the slippery slope to upgradesville.


I can just see you behind the wheel of a TDV8 RRS

Nice! It's the first time I've driven one. Smooth and taut, I'll give it that.
I'd need to drive it a bit more to see if I prefer it over the P38A.

I think I need to read the owner's handbook. It has a lot of stuff.

By gum, the rear compartment is big, the leather interior is very nice, and I love the way the rear seats fold into the floor - but I don't need to have the car say "Goodbye" to me when I remove the key!

At least it's not white so it doesn't look like a fridge.

You have something against 4wd fridges? The D4 salesman told me white's the new black. And do you seriously think any of us have read (maybe read...but not understood) the manual?

And just what's wrong with fridges ????
just kidding....... I like my fridge

Pfft! Reading the owner's handbook is for those who have nothing better to do! (I'm on the RR.Net forum and it's amazing how often questions are asked about things covered in the handbook. )

The car certainly has a solid feel to it (I mentioned taut in my initial post). The doors close perfectly and with little effort, panel fit is good, etc.

I'd like to try it out over some rougher roads or tracks.

My wife dislikes the look of them - especially in gold (Altacama Sand?) or white. Still, from the front, the D3 looks a damn sight better than the D4.

Parramatta Rd doesn't really count as a rough track or road Ron

Some parts of High St./GWH in Penrith do, Terry! There are a couple of places which really cause the front suspension on my V-Strom to crash quite loudly!

Alot of stuff ? Really? I think the spec. is poxy ...
It's stripped-out for Oz to maximise profit.

Be careful there Ron, 'faulty goods ring any bells' quick take it back to the owner before something goes wrong
