Super pic's in your gallery SV, and no probs from the D3 - proves they don't all breakdown or need constant dealer attention every 5 minutes

Thanks guys! One of the hard core boys called it a mini van shortly before the trip I ignored it, but secretly live for the day I can assist said boy on a trail
Bods, yes I need sliders! Had it in the shop for about 6 weeks to have some made and they never got to it, so disappointing, really wanted them for this trip. I think I'll contact Uncle Ray shortly. Where are you coming, Florida again?I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

As for me - did the Manchester-London run in the D3 for the first time in a while yesterday - door-to-door only 40 minutes longer than on the train
However, MPG was down from the usual 27 to 24.4 for the whole trip - assume the rack is whats doing that Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Yesterday drove from Central London to just west of Gloucester and then drove home up to Stockport via Wigan
Saw a Mini driver and Golf driver absolutely sh*t themselves on the A40 between Oxford & Cheltenham when what looked like undertray (already detached and lay on the road) got flipped up like a sail by a passing flat bed wagon (in front of them and me) and smashed off the Mini's drivers side mirror - Golf swerved like a mad man whilst I watching it all unfold from a safe distance and height gently avoided aforementioned tray and smashed mirror housing.
As anyone on the roads yesetrday knew, the M6 was trashed near Stoke as was the M5/M6 junction (as usual) - so had a right old crawl on the A41 through Wolverhamption, Telford, Market Drayton etc etc etc. Good News though - mpg increased to 25 at the lower speeds
Best bit of the day - the Bacon & Egg Butty and Polystyrene Cup of Urn Tea at 9AM at a Butty Van between Gloucester and Mitcheldean
Oh and in case anyones interested - you can hold a document review conference call in the D3 on the motorway - my mate did it yesterday on the M5 with laptop nicely wedged on the glovebox lid - I did have to slow down though to stop the Tom Tom lady blurting into the conference call....
