What did you do in your Disco3 today?
Today, I got up early, and drove from home in Stockport to Whitley Bay in Tyne & Wear. Did a bit of work there, then continued up through Coldstream to Edinburgh, where I am now.
The weather has been bad, with much flooding this afternoon/evening coming up through the borders. Car was perfect for the job. The only thing of note was that I was very glad to find a petrol station, the miles left was down to 55 and we all know that means about 10!

Got my 18" S style wheels today and fitted them in the rain this evening. The D3 now has a "chunky" stance, a much better look than the 17s. Although it's dark I keep looking out the lounge window to admire the 'new look'.

As ever mine is my office, on Tuesday evening it took three D3 owners flyfishing and on Saturday it will be my shooting brake as it is the first day of my new syndicate, so I hope I drive it well off road if necessary!DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
