RLD - 1st June 2005
Mossy - June 2005

It is not a D3, but a D4, and I have only owned it for just under 3 years, but it is the longest I have owned a car for a long, long time and still with out any nagging doubts or itching feelings about trading it in.

It is a very strange feeling for me Confused

I think this one's a keeper Very Happy

Not me - only bought mine in late Aug 2009, although it was 'Forum owned' prior to that for a couple of years.

It's the longest I've ever owned a car, though (previous holder of that record was the preceding D2, at 5 years) ...

I'd bet on Gazzavich but sadly a lot of the original team don't frequent this forum any longer

Thumbs Up June '05 and 50K here - no prizes for age or mileage, but still happy with it.
ISTR that Gaz's was one of the oldest.

So, in terms of still owning the same D3 for the longest period, I think it looks like:
Jonhklee – Jan 2005
Moo - March 2005
Barn1e - May 2005
RLD - 1st June 2005
Mossy - June 2005
DrLex - June 2005
Blue Meanie Sep 2005
AVE - Oct 2005
DN - Nov 2005

..... unless some of the "old guys" turn up again

I think we should have a complementary "Who had their D3/D4 the shortest?" - though I expect CFB would occupy places 1, 2 and 3 - long time ago now Laughing
