    D3s they're everywhere

    Not sure if it's just me, or it's just because I bought one recently, or if it's the area I live in, but there seems to be lot more D3s around these days.

    You can't go down to the road without passing a couple, and at school drop off and pick up don't get me started.

    Has anyone else noticed an increase in the number D3s cruising the streets?

    Hardly surprising...... people are starting to wake up to the fact that for the money there is nothing better out there in the D3's class, and Land Rover have *touch wood* gone a long way to dealing with the reliability issues that have haunted previous vehicles.

    I think you see what you drive.

    When I had a VW bug, I used to see them all over the place.

    Now I see Land Rovers!!

    I still have an old Karmann Ghia, and just like the Defender Wave, I wave like mad whenever I see another Karmann.

    so sad...... in my old RRC the flash and wave made driving a landy fun........ it started dying out with the advent of the Disco…… soccer mums didn’t return the wave any more….. and has got worse with the D3….. I reckon I could plot a curve showing that the decrease in the wave is directly proportional to the increase in soccer mums (and rich non-LR prats for that matter) driving Discos…..

    Agree, I drive a D1 and wave at most other Landys, but I don't think I have ever got a wave back from a D3 and certainly not from a new RRS!

    Yep, now that the D4 is out they are all old hat and have been released from captivity in the North Shore of Sydney. Check with your dealer if they come equipped with a peroxide Yummy Mummy as part of the optional equipment.

    My blonde yummy mummy (wife that is) refers to herself as safari barbie...... and I can't for love nor money keep her out of my D3....... she is still not talking to me over the fact that I am about to fit a roo bar to it..... doesn't look nice on the car.......

    Yesterday, in Roseville (Sydney) I had a guy in a 110 respond to my wave (from my D3).

    I was quite chuffed.

    Best Wishes,
    Peter

    Yep you have to be proactive in a Disco of any vintage.
