10 year old plus Disco 3 special recognition.

This is a great site and has made owning a Disco 3 more than just owning a car, it's made it feel like I own a classic car, any help I've ever needed has always been here and members on here have saved me alot of money over the years.
I know a lot of owners have moved forward to Discovery 4 which I appreciate is a fabulous car but there are many original owners on here who still have the original Disco 3's. I still get into my 11 year old Disco everyday and she still feels like the first day I bought her 10 years ago, she's had her problems and at times driven me crazy, but wow what an all round fantastic car, I absolutely love her. She does everything I ever bought her for and then some.
So here's my suggestion, I'm wondering is it a possible to request a 10 year owners special tag to be added to the forum along side the other main headings under Discovery 3 ? I'm sure a lot of early owners would like to share their ownership stories and owners with cars they intend to keep long term could eventually be part of a "special group", after all this site is called Disco 3 and I really think the original model should now be highlighted and celebrated.
I hope my request doesn't seem daft, I really just feel the origional cars deserve a special recognition and their own special place on the forum.

Yes I see that now, thanks for considering my request Martin, sorry I put it in the wrong place, I would really like to post pics of my car which is my pride and joy under a special heading along with others who feel the same, I'll leave it up to you now on the best way of doing this if it's at all possible, if not, thanks for reading my post and older members keep on enjoying your Discos Thumbs Up

Thanks Mogwyth, 15,000 miles? Wow! Get it used m8 mines on 80 odd and still feels like new. I really hope the forum looks at this as the car really now deserves to move forward into becoming a classic car if not in the classic car owners circle but most definitely in the Disco 3 community.
