United States 2007 LR3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Zermatt SilverLR3
Land Rover Elite

I recently attended the MAR (Mid-Atlantic Rally). It was a great event held over a long weekend. I met some fantastic folks and learned quite a bit.

I did hear the term 'Land Rover elite' when I parked my LR3 near some of the more senior LR's.

My LR3 is basically a stock vehicle - but I do have a winch and some under body protection. Folks at the rally were amazed when I went on the trails with the other Disco's.

I was curious if any other folks on the forum have run into other LR owners who don't view the LR3/Disco3 as a capable off road vehicle - but more of a bling SUV. Evil or Very Mad

just take a look at dicsoweb.org here in the US for a whole bunch of people who don't appreciate the LR3. It is the same as when the DII came out, or the Defender.

Yup get it all the time when going out with new folks, plus I am only a girl after all Rolling Eyes Laughing People change their opinion some as they witness the LR3 in action though. Thumbs Up
 I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

It's the same here for a lot (not all) who drive defenders and series vehicles. They tend to disregard/disrespect/ question the reliability of the D3. Jealous IMHO.

And the same here!

Not all D3's are 'Chelsea Taxi's' (School run buses, if you are not familiar with this term).

On a recent green lane run in Derbyshire several people stopped and asked if I was really taking it off-road after seeing the mud splattering Thumbs Up

Even managed some rock crawling (see my gallery).

I was with three Disco 1s, two Defenders and a Series and all, I am pleased to say, were well satisfied with the way the D3 performed.

It's a VERY capable vehicle both on and off road Bow down
