1 year old (well to me anyway)
Just realised that I've owned my D3 for one year (Well as of the 15th)....had some great times with her, as well as some very worrying costly times
In that 1 year I have spent:
- £2991 on Fuel
- £3567 on Non-Fuel stuff (repairs etc)
- £loads on adding things such as rear D4 lights, Beanie Grille etc
Not forgetting that this forum also got me into Sankey trailers, so the trailer cost about £600 and probably spent £1000 on roof tent, fitting out trailer etc.
So adding all that together, just enough to probably buy a very early high mileage D3
Loving it though and wouldn't change anything.......Well perhaps the only thing I would have changed is to have joined the forum before buying her

A few tweaks - Beanie Grille, De-Tango lights, Rear LED's, plate and of course forum sticker

So all in all, a great but slightly expensive year
Here's to very many more happy, but hopefully less expensive years
Cheers
