That’ll cost a fortune, have you seen how much a dog is and they are somewhat easier to transport than a dead horse.
But you can grit a hell of a lot of icy roads....
The H&H articles are useful I will admit to being distracted by this for a while.[/url]
You best not accidentally look up the Foxy Hunters calendar then. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE

2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

I just have to take a step back here and say that the breadth of issues and topics addressed on this forum, for what is essentially one model of one make of vehicle, never fails to astound me. I think I've seen it all then this pops up
As you were....
you do know we're all making it up ? we know sfa about anything ... except the cost of owning Discoverys

All the land is within approx 80 m of a stream/river, I couldn't see the water board being overly thrilled.
They are both 17 hh, so would require a big hole.
Why do they want them buried on what will potentially be your land, sounds a bit fishy to meMY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Will they be lowered into the ground to the sound of Roy Orbison's "only the pony"?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
