There's a new challenge - blindfold round a track 
That's the only way I'd driven a D3 before owning my own. Had to drive over pods whilst blindfold in the Land Rover Club inter-club challenge. Still enjoyed it even though I couldn't see what I was driving

Findhorn? and here's me thinking that was a made up place!
Thought that was the town that Winston moved to in Still Game! Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light.

Say Hi to the seals at Findhorn, just the other side if the River Findhorn from where I walk the mutts at the weekend. Also good for plane spotting.

Its been a busy week for the D3, Monday was a trip to London, Tuesday was a 320 mile drive from East London to Gwbert near Cardigan in West Wales, today drove home via Aberystwyth, Machyntllech, Bala, Chester. No issues, but the average fuel consumption has risen (fallen?) to 25.2 mpg  Silver TDV6 HSE

Did you go out via the A4 Steve ?
I left the West End at the same time and got hammered by the A40 - queued nearly up to Northholt 
Should have gone through Kensington as per usual

A4 and A40 are always a nightmare - I get on the A40 at the old M41 junction and just crawl up the A40 towards Hangar Lane and on to Uxbridge and the M40. ALWAYS takes an hour from Westminster/Lambeth to the M25/M40 junction - my two YouTube urban videos are run at 4x speed and last exactly 15 minutes
Did see one shiney D3 in the queue - don't think it was you though SImon Steve N (qzd)

I installed some driving lights on a new ECB (East Coast Bullbars) nudge bar...
I had a set of these Lightforce XGT 240's on my D2 and they were fantastic, with a combo spread/pencil lens - I'm going with just a pencil beam/spotlight now, as the the bi-xenon HID's on the D3 are so good for general vision anyway, but I just always felt that they didn't throw the light far enough down the outback roads.
If you're going to have driving lights, then you might as well make a statement, I always say...
