CRASH!!!
DEAR FELLOW D3 ENTHUSIAST,
I OWN A THREE WEEK OLD SILVER TDV6 S D3 AUTO,
AND BEING A FARMER/ AGRICULTRAL CONTRACTOR
IT ONLY REALLY GET'S USED FOR PERSONAL ACTIVITYS
AS I PREFER TO USE ONE OF MY OLDER LAND ROVERS
FOR WORK DUTIES, BUT ON THE ODD OCCASION LIKE THE
ONE THAT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT
I WAS TOWING A LIVESTOCK TRAILER FULL OF SHEEP
INTO A CUSTOMERS FIELD WHEN I GOT BOTH THE D3 AND
TRAILER STUCK UP TO THE AXLES!! VERY EMBARASSING
BUT THIS TIME I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE VISIT TO MY
LOCAL JOHN DEERE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP SOME PARTS FOR
ONE OF MY TRACTORS, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE MY D3
BECAUSE I DIDN'T PAY £32K ON A D3 TO TAKE MY OLD 200TDI
DISCOVERY ON A 100 MILE ROUND TRIP FOR PARTS??!!.....
I'M WISHING NOW THAT I HAD OF!!... BECAUSE I GOT 5 MILES
FOR HOME WHEN SOME LITTLE PR#*K IN HIS F#*"*ING SH*#TY
FORD MONDEO PULL OUT FROM A SIDE TURNING STRAIGHT
INTO TO FRONT OF MY BRAND NEW D3!!!!!!!! WHAT A W*#*#ER!!!!!...
HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T SEE ME I MEAN WHAT KIND
OF TW#T COULDN'T SEE A BRAND NEW CLEAN SILVER 4X4 WITH IT'S
LIGHT ON??!!!!!!........... I MEAN IS HE F#*#ING BLIND OR SOMETHING
I GOT IT RECOVERED TO LANDROVERS BODYSHOP WHO SAID
ITS BUGERED THE FRONT N/S WHEEL SMASHED THE
SIDE LIGHT AND DENTED THE WING?? THEY THINK THATS ALL
THE DAMAGE IT HAS DONE WHICH IS LUCKY? THEY SAY THAT
I SHOULD HAVE IT BACK IN 7 TO 10 DAY??!!!... I'VE NOW GOT
A BLOODY FREELANDER WHICH I HATE BECAUSE IT GOT
THE 1.8 K-SERIES ROVER ENGINE WHICH IS CRAP?!!
I'LL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED ON ANY NEW NEWS landyman

very sad to hear - hopefully you'll have it back soon and back to new condition
as for the mondeo driver - the only way you can miss a D3 is if you're blind or didn't look ... i'm sure it's the latter, otherwise he wouldn't have been driving in the first place .... 2009 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE
1985 LR 110 County 3.5 V8
(what options?!)

Sorry to hear of your collision - its extra galling when you have such a new car. You might want to knock the capitals off as its considered shouting - unless of course you were wanting to shout in which case you were spot on DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Have to say that if that is how you treat a loan car the person who drove in front of you in the first place was probably doing everyone a favor.

I assume the Freeloader had a sloppy gearbox - serves it right anyway - quite clearly not your fault landmudloverSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
