Got a 3 seater sofa with me and a passenger in the D3 once. Have to say that with 2 adults, 3 kids and all the gear for a 2 week holiday in the South of France, the D3 was not big enough
Listen out Green Activists, I might need something bigger
Moved a mate of mine out of a small flat yesterday, took only 2 runs and have loaded the beast with literally a tonne of flatpack furniture from Ikea.
It is very good for the garden rubbish too. All in all a very versatile and capable vehicle. Basically at least 3 vehicles in 1. A van, an off roader and limo.

there was definitely 'in-flight' refuelling at cruising speed on the Meknes - Fes motorway not sure if it was captured on video or stills though.... Didn't seem to impress the locals much
