Loads of Disco3's Spotted!!
Hi, I thought I would share an interesting day out with everyone here
I work for a Land Rover Export Distributer, today we were invited for a tour of one of our Shipping line's new car transporting vessels called the Hual. When you get to Southampton you suddenly see evidence of the 90%+ of Land Rovers and Jags going overseas, one of the pictures below shows two rows of D3s on top of a multi story carpark....well all 5 floors were full of D3's and other LR's, everywhere you look there were Spanking new Landy's...awesome!
The vessel was huge, to put things into perspective she can hold 3500 vehicles plus other machinery(trains,diggers etc) and in 24hrs at cruising speed she will use 67 tonnes of diesel....no sign of Greenpeace anywhere! The vessel was detined for Durban, South Africa.
All this and a crew of just 25 people....not many really!
Anyway, here are some pics....

Cheers guys, I thought you appreciate me sharing them with you, it's awe inspiring seeing so many new cars in one place, as you think all LR's are built to order so we think of every one as special, when you see hundreds it's quite something!!!
Plus it's very rare to see inside one of these ships...actually I might get in trouble for posting them!! 2006 TDV6 SE
