Spotted not one, but 2 'dingermedics' on a high mountain today - looking good!
 
definitely won't be getting Izmir Blue next year, 'orrible colour (in my view FWIW)
Liked the look of the SVX close up though

It's OK - there are three zones, 1st in a Police FL2 where you drive, just some easy axle twisters, 2nd in a Paramedic or Fire RRS, driven by the instructor, 45º tilts stuff and thirdly, again driven by instructor the hill climb and descent in the Extreme Medic D3, bit of HDC on the steep way down.
Empty today, but will be busy later in the week.
Nothing much to see on the LR stand inside though, although if you ask the blonde girl at the desk, she'll give you a free sachet of Land Rover coffee

 Oh No!!!
What a real shame LR have screwed up the D3 
Looks nasty [silver in front doesn't look any better] IMO.
Reckon everyone will now go for black.
Wheels look tiny in comparison to the current 6 spoke.
That rear painted plastic panel is going to take a kicking when standing on the bumper!
Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light.

Just sussed out why, in seeing that silver one.
The wheel arches now look huge [cos of the colour coding] thus making the wheels look small.
Think Khan might now be getting orders for 22" or 24" wheels for this model ..... oh no!!!
It's now not a very balanced look IMO. Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light.

Don't like it at all. If it is supposed to make it look more up market I think it has done the opposite. It just looks tacky.  Global Warming.... I'm luvvin it.

It took awhile for me to love the D3 when it first made its appearance as being a D2 owner I resisted the change!!

Look at the back from square-on and it looks way too tall and narrow, bit like a double decker bus. I went on about it here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic19310.html and got slapped down by "awheel" (who may or may not be a designer on the project?) - Sad end to a design classic... but I don't have to buy one, which is probably a good thing, so I like it.

I'll be there on Friday- looking forward to it!
If anyone else there sees a bloke covered in baby vomit with one baby in a sling and the other toddler running around trying to dismantle everything that will be me!
I saw a 54 plate on the A13 london bound last week with colour coded everything - anyone on here?
didnt look too bad, but I prefer the original look. "its probably a virus, you'll be right as rain in a few days and if you're playing sport try to favour the other leg"
