Common as Muck?!
Spent last week in York and Pickering (bloody lovely and must move there - commuting to London will be reeeaaallly easy - not, we all dream eh) My god there are so many Disco3s up there, they are like pink shirts in Brighton, everywhere. Then came back to London where youre lucky to see one (plenty of RRS) and everybody scowls at your 2.7 ton beast.
Apologies if you own a pink shirt
Apologies if youre from Brighton

I spent the weekend down in Somerset, and didn't see a single D3 on the road. Never seen so many D1's and D2's in my life though.

Same opinion. Trying to move to York area too - just the small matter of selling my house first. - and there will be one more D3 to count.Discovery 3 tdv6 7 seat Buckingham Blue
Had it since new - sold Jun 17 after 12 years and 214,000 miles

Back in Scotland over Easter, I was on the lookout for Disco3s too. Perthshire seemed the place to be. As soon as I passed Perth, they started popping out of the hedgerows. Saw three right away and then later another couple in the Sma' Glen. Fewer down around Edinburgh.

Loads around Esher ... mostly driven by the school-run brigade...unfortunately for the upper classes the suspension doesn't go up far enough for them to look down upon you 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Ooooooh ....you're very ruuuude !! I am, of course, just an observationalist in this local Surrey society ...being from Wales, and considered an amoeba and all that, you should consider yourself lucky that you are so far up the class scale 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
