My commiserations, I'm in the same boat too.

Going to keep the Disco, but will have to sell the Jaguar, Evante & probably the B GT V8 (which I have owned since new in 1973).

When I asked my solicitor why divorce is so expensive the reply was â€œBecause itâ€™s worth it !â€

NJSS Am I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

Been there.... Twice, not an easy time but it does get easier, hope everything works out for you...

If you can try and keep the D3, a lot will depend on the financial situation and the demands of the divorce,

I kept mine for a short time, insome way helped with the split, especially with the effect on the kids, it was the car they knew and recognised as "dad's" car... It also give me something big enough to move stuff about, extra holidays in the way of camping with the kids, better quality time..... If it ain't broke... Take it apart anyway, how else you gonna find out how it works
