Spotted - Me!
Anyone in Ireland, try to spot the D3 in the report on the Garda crackdown on road offences (I'm innocent, honest! ) over the bank holiday weekend on the RTE news this evening/tonight.
I've just seen myself on the report on the lunchtime news there now, but unfortunatly only in the distance (around 15 cars back) in a line of traffic approaching the checkpoint.
They delibertly stopped me for around 30secs at the checkpoint so that they could get some footage of the Garda checking the tax/insurance and then pretending to ask me some important questions. Looks like the footage has been binned though (unless they've a longer report on the 6PM news) - I musn't have looked good on TV or something. IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver

DG, that's the version that went out at lunchtime, and in the TV quality version, you can see my D3 if you're looking for it in the line of traffic near the start of the report. The 6PM news lasts for an hour, whereas the lunchtime is 25 mins, so maybe, just maybe, they might just have a longer report. IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver

How sad am I - I'm watching every news report waiting to record them - anyone would think I'd got nothing better to do!
You're at the back of the line of traffic! That's sad to notice that. My new game is spot the RRS in Top Gear Magazine due out in October! Loving the power of the TDV8!
