I say Slimer, don't like the look of those bi-xenons on your avatar! I thought you were more of a lightforce man!

I have also ordered a TDV6SE with difflock + adaptive headlights and it has to come from UK.
I ordered it early January and was told ETA late May early June!
Hi pbhawkin - sorry about the delay in replying - been a bit busy
From memory  i ordered late June - so a 7 month wait. All worth it! Drives like a dream, both up and down the hills

If I had met the D3 before the wife........
I've driven into the city a few times in the past few days - what a crusin' machine. I also "went bush" a few times - the sound of the HDC operating takes a bit to get used to, but it certainly makes the job a lot easier.
I am also taking a bit of getting used to the terrain response settings - they actually work so the difference is great.
I would be interested to know how most people drive their auto d3's. I am finding my natural tendancy is to drive the auto like a manual, in command shift almost all of the time - I cant imagine this would be detrimental to the car?

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous. Mine's in the dealer's waiting for me but because of our ridiculous licensing arrangements, and the value of the date on the reg plate, I now have to wait another three weeks before the dribbling can commence. It's driving me nuts reading about all your wonderful experiences and not being able to join in!.
