I've just been out to move the car in to the car park to find one of these  stupid
"Poor choice of vehicle leaflets under the wiper blade.
How come you never see them doing it? Then again if I did catch them I doubt i'd be polite

Note the list of cars on the back only includes the 4.4V8 D3 - and as we know some 90+% of UK D3's are diesel... Cheers

Where did they get there figures from? 13.4 MPG in a V8 disco sounds a bit off! Don't you get somewhere around 18? Happiness is a vectored thrust! (As seen on a Harrier GR3)
 1980 Series 3 restoration - Mine
 Very dirty 1996 Defender 90 - Soon to be mine!
 Stornaway Grey D3 HSE - Dads!
Asure Blue S1 Lotus Elise - Also dads!
It's a long way to the top!
