Its all bo****ks anyway - there's some piece of sh*t called the StreetKa in the Sub Zero section - surely this should be all the way down the bottom with the pink Micra C+C Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Perhaps the risk of being ridiculed live on air by JC next week is just too much...
I can see it now, RH & JM on their rear seat and JC on his grey leather chair holding an email...
"We had an email this week from a disgruntled Discovery 3 driver about the Cool Wall feature on last weeks show.... in fact we had a number of emails - what a sad lot you are!" as he screws up and tosses the printed out email away...Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

There doesn't appear to be any rationale behind the placings on the cool wall. Just how JC feels at the time & how controversial he wants to be, I reckon.
It's possible the D3 got moved when the studio was re-vamped.
The StreetKa, like many Fords, has fantastic handling & for the right person (young girls?) represents big fun, so I guess that is why it's placed where it is.
Interestingly, my wife despite loving the D3 for what it is, feels positively "un-cool" driving it. She says she looks like all the other mums in their "Chelsea Tractors". Our daughter walks the 500yds to her school, but I know what she means. The bigger 4x4's are very popular with the "yummy mummies" of Bath for the school run.
I've always bought vehicles for what they do & never cared about image or badge snobbery. For me, my D3 does exactly what I bought it to do & I really like it, so I'm not bothered where JC puts it. Infact as JC stunk out my last HSV by smoking in it when he borrowed it for his Sunday Times column, he can stick the D3 picture up his****.

I disagree .....I think JC loves Land Rovers, including the D3, too much to allow the editor, floor manager, 'best' boy or who ever it was who moved it in the first place, keep it from where it belongs in 'Sub Zero'.
Sub Zero is what it was rated in the first place and that is where it should stay. Once he realises the error I'm sure he would want see justice done.
We should all e-mail him and take the 'minimal' risk of being damned in front of 5 million viewers 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I agree - my email has gone!Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills
