NEW DISCO 3 - Finally
Well chaps
I'm soon to be 'one of the boys' I take delivery of my brand spanking new D3 HSE a week on Friday after owning my 3rd Grand Cherokee I thought it was time to move to the big boys gang
Was originally told I would get it for last week when the new '06 plate came out, then tol 2 days before it wouldn't come until mid May early June...Grrr got the call 2 days ago they had located a vehicle which would be ready for me next week. Seems some dealer had it as sold on their stock list when it wasn't - silly playing games with my new toy.
I've gone for Zambezi Silver with the Alpaca interior with a few extras
Privacy glass front and rear, mud flaps f&r, side steps, light guards f&r, rubbing strips down the sides, shiny scuff plate bits for the door sills, Walnut burr for the dash (bloody expensive) oh and I'm getting that dimondbrite thingy inside and out - like scotchguard I guess.
Think thats it, looking forward to doing my 1st LRE in somebody elses vehicle to see what it can do and gain a few off roading skills.
If anybody wants to know anything from the brochure just let me know as I've read it, well lets say - serveral times....!!!
Getting reeaally excited, guess it's a guy thing huh?
Might go into the dealers today and get my hands on the owners manual, bet there's hours of reading to be had there... yey me..
no real point to this email but I've gotta let as many people know about my new toy as possible... woohooooo
Oh if anybody can give useful hints & tips for a new owner that would be helpful

I had to drink myself to sleep in the week before I picked mine up! - well thats my excuse anyway
Enjoy that first drive, just make sure it's a long one 8)
I'll agree with the smile practice ....... but can anyone give me a fix for the sore face it gives you (from smiling!) after a 4 hour drive ....... i've never enjoyed driving a car as much as my new toy .........
Enjoy it when you get it .......

Planning a trip to Singapore then, to Raffles ???
Still, I guess we could make a trip a gin palace somewhere more local - not that I drink you understand.
