RTV Trials in my D3

Hey guys. About a month ago I bought Ivan's D3 V8 from him. This will be our family car as well as a toy. A week ago I did some RTV trials in it and I was amazed at how well the car performed. Aside from the bumper, spare wheel and some guards the car is standard. No modifications to the running gear.

Here are some videos of the car doing the trials which I thought you guys might enjoy:

Hassockrig Bing which is near Shotts, equidistant between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I believe the bing is going to be developed into a pay-and-play site by the landowner. 2005 D3 V8

Ah yes, very close. Lots of post-industrial villages around there. And yes, very much strong local communities. Hopefully you'll be back up soon. 2005 D3 V8

Yeah the passengers had fun! I actually thought they were going to be Tyro trials so I entered my wife as a competitor as well as me and we brought the kids. I used to do Tyro and RTV trials in a Defender which this Disco has replaced, so I knew the score but it was my wife's first time. When we found it was RTV, most stages they wouldn't allow the kids in the car for good reason, and my wife didn't want to do it alone in the car. So she only did the stages they would let the kids in the car for, like one of those in the videos above.

You can see the range of cars here:
