Wales 2005 Discovery 3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3
Epic drive

100 miles in 2 hours.

So I hear you say, I set off at 19:00 and was in the kebab shop at 20:57, road and weather conditions were perfect and this was the route, Wales really does have some great roads:


This is one amazing vehicle........ but dont ask the mpg!

Done this drive last week. Took 2 hours and 2 minutes. The D3 is surprisingly sure footed when being hustled along, and surprises quite a few people Thumbs Up
