Just got myself another 4x4.... Again
Well I have been debating whether to get another off roader to take all the bashes and bruises that I have been inflicting on my pride and joy.
Done it!!, hope you guys approve though as its not exactly a Land Rover (except for the wheel arches)
I drove it around 100 miles today on the motorway and boy do I know about it, lets say its not quite as comfortable as the D3
Articulation competition winner on the day!!

yeah, a few guys round here have them and they go pretty much anywhere, but they are like rockinghorse s t to get hold of, especially all prepared. All I need now is a winch and some ear defenders

Its a Raleigh 'Kettcar'. The pedals are in the middle, and the steering is made out of an old bit of dexion shelving IIRC

There were a couple of these at the pay'n'play i did yesterday and TBH i was most surprised where they went.
A few of the hills that i thought the D3 could get up, but i didn't want to risk it, they floored it and up they went, sideways at one time ISTR
When i left there were a crowd of guys standing round a blue one which had apparently rolled over

I've had 2 Samurais and they are absolutely brilliant off-road. Good choice.No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!
