That's an odd picture, the green D3 looks minuscule in comparison to the other two, especially the silver.
...... or is it just me.

Safety in numbers. When one breaks down the others can be canabalised for parts.
Ron, it does look smaller, but I suspect it is due to those being fractionally farther forward and lens distortion.Mark.

Ron, perhaps slightly wide-angle lens distorting the edges of the image

The one in the middle shrunk in the wash? Or are the outside ones on steroids?

Yes thought it could be wide angle, but its only just got the 3 Discos in its width.
Also the D4 and D3 seem to be sitting slightly lopsided, but I know that'll be because the images will be angling down towards the middle D3.

Guys this pic was taken on my IPHONE and i was parked exactly opposite the green D3 and in line. I did notice when i was getting in to my car that the green D3 was very low but nothing to do with suspension more like size of tyres it had on "Your mind is like a parachute!
