Just to warn you AT2s will cost you about 2.5-3mpg.... But I've worked out you'd have to do over 25,000 miles before a second set of road wheels/tyres paid for itself (assuming a set of road tyres would last that long). Factor in the AT2s wearing more slowly than a road tyre and I'm just going to stick with the Grabbers.

What am I talking about 3mpg for? You used to have a V8!

So what accessories have you got on order?
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Nothing on order yet, I am not sure how to prioritise.

Roof rails/bars and side mouldings will probably be first though.

I'd buy a cover for it with a picture of a pious on it for when you see your boss

Come on CFB, how did you convince your boss? Did you do a presentation of the real facts or something Question

Is he now a convert, and is he selling his Pious and buying a D3 Wink

Decided that as I take a car allowance and not a company car I will buy and run what I want. I think it was the OTT look of the G4 that upset him more then the environmental issues TBH.

This one stays Very Happy

Good on you. Thumbs Up

Was amused to be pootling along at 70 yesterday and have a Prius go past me doing over 90*. So much for saving the planet Rolling Eyes

I can see the puzzled look on their faces every time a new LR rolls onto the drive Smile

Very happy with the colour choice, I wasn't sure about the Tundra interior before I collected it having only seen photos but I am really sold on it. Only had ebony interiors before which are OK but very dark, I like the contrast with the light and dark plastics etc in this one.

CFB, it's beautiful (and I'm not just being polite) Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I have a real soft spot for that green, I think it looks brilliant and traditional Land Rover. Silver and grey aside, I think it's one of my favourite colours. The tinted windows also look super and compliment it well Thumbs Up

The interior looks very clean and tidy, and the various colours are certainly much more vibrant than the all-black we have!

Enjoy it! Oh, and, keep it! Thumbs Up

Ah... the love of the D3. Yes, I can understand it fully. BTW, cotefarmboy, is it with Alpaca interior?
