My D3's a June 2005, bought her as an ex demo 3 months later, added a few extras like wheels, steps grill and lots of polishing! hope you like her.
Took this along side my other baby, I reckon the Disco looks just as good as any new car which is amazing considering her age...plus she's still my favourite by a long way

Pics in Glassman's and Ruben's post show why its such a great car, it doesn't look out of place in its party frock or down and dirty in its wellies, reminds me a bit of the misses, (not what you are thinking ) she's a farmers daughter but scrubs up pretty well.==================================

Mine was first registered 24 June 05 and bought as an ex demo 3 Oct 05. They were like hens teeth at the time unless you'd ordered one new. Came with dvd, roof bars and side steps. And unlike most on here, has been kept in her original state. I'll never forget the feeling driving away from the dealer, made my D2 feel like a tractor!
Personally, I think the 10 plus club should be for 10 years ownership.. Do we get a badge As you slide down the banister of life

Mine was 10years back in November. I have only owned her for 2years 2 months. But believe there has been enough love (and money ) given in those 2 years.
She is the best car I have ever owned and long may I continue to do so. D3 HSE TDV6 Auto. Bonatti Grey.

My old 54 plate makes me feel like a King I've only had her 2 years but she will be with me for another 10 while I save for a D4
Yes but then it should be displayed as MY05. The way it's presented looks more like its the actual year.

This is mine, Registered in June 2005, Owned by 2 companies, then the guy who had it as a company car followed by me.
I picked mine up in February 2015 and have loved every minute of owning it.
This is the car in February when I picked it up.

And with the help of a snipe programme, Ebay, Disco3 members and Facebook Disco 3 & 4 Forum members and my other half, it has so far blossomed into this:

I am all for the idea of the 10 year plus owners group.
Post from Barn1e in Feb 2015, so unless anything has change over the past 11 months...
"So, it looks like the list of D3 owners with oldest cars still owned by them is:-
Jonhklee – Jan 2005
Moo - March 2005
dub01s - May 2005
Barn1e - May 2005
RLD - 1st June 2005
Mossy - June 2005
DrLex - June 2005
Blue Meanie Sep 2005
AVE - Oct 2005
DN - Nov 2005
dub01s, I picked mine up on 23rd May, so I have given you the benefit of your name going first."
The top 10 of the 10 club.. More than ten years continuous ownership of the same car. As you slide down the banister of life

I don't think there's really a need for a special forum/group for 10+ year owners, but I am happy to add a label under your username (similar to my "Site Admin and Owner" one).
However I think it should be for those who have owned the same D3 for 10 years+, rather than those who own a D3 which is more than 10 years old.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
