My Frenchy Discovery
Hi all
Newbee on the website. First of all, please apologise my poor English. I will try to make the minimal or no mistakes.
My name is Guillaume, from France.
I have just bought my first D3, 2005MY with 190000km.
I am working for Jaguar Land Rover France and I have always owned one or two Land Rovers, even when I left the company for ten years for an other manufacturer. Some of them are famous in France, especially the « Gros Jack » (translate the « Big Jack ») with a LRO article (written by my friend Jérôme André you may know )
.
I have a nice plan in my head for my D3.... I will give you more information during his mutation.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.

Well not entirely.....
.
But since that tiny spot in the middle seems to be a own continent these day’s , it is not one of the continents America, Europe, Africa, Asia etc.. is what I hear these day’s (since brexit, the UK is not only out of the EU but also not Europe anymore if I have to believe how a lot of people write and talk) the way of thinking sounds familiar
Just joking a little bit guys, not want to start a political discussion, I like the british!Best regards
