A new Discovery 3 owner in the Algarve

Moving over from the Defender2.net forum with the acquisition of a Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto, using my Defender 110 Crew Cab (Puma) as part exchange. Will miss the charisma of the Defender and the big smiles that it can create, but glad to be back to an auto transmission and more comfort.
Tonga Green. Pictures to follow.

Totally amazing off road. No drama, it just goes. (I suppose the BAS remap helps...)
Nice Land event today in Silves. Vast majority of D1 and D2, one D3 Whistle , a few Defenders, 2 Range Rovers.

Any events planned in the summer James? I will be down in Estoi with the D3 and would love to take a trip with the locals through the Algarve.

The event was organised by www.xelbland.com in Silves. I still have the road book if you wanted a copy..

Not at all.
Purchase taxes are huge but they are linked essentially to cubic capacity and CO2 emissions.
There are also some strange rules. For example the price difference between a 110 SW and a 110 Crew Cab is about 32.000 euros (yes thirty two thousand euros), because the Crew Cab is considered "commercial" (cargo area is separate from the cabin). Before tax, the price difference is 500 euros.
A D3 costs about 80 to 90.000 euros here. When I see people complaining about prices in the UK, I have to smile.....
