Seeing it's new year - thought I'll gate crash your topic.
Just back from holiday in a place called Calitzdorp, which is in an area celled the Karoo in the Cape Province, South Africa. It was extremely hot and one afternoon 15h00 recorded 42 deg C on the D3's display ! Did not think to take a picture, but I'm sure it must be some record
This area is well known for their Port Wine - so the grapes actually flourish in these temps.Erstwhile - D3 S '07. Dual battery system. Upgraded tow hitch. Mantec skid plate. Frontrunner rr. Tmax double headed built in compressor

I'm getting sub 16mpg, all this snow and it's of almost getting stuck might explain it. And local garage has no diesel, 35 miles to Inverness for juice in a few days!

I did not have a camera this morning, but Woodford, just up the road got down to almost -18 degrees. My D3 was parked next to the house so only showed -11. My weather station on the garage recorded a low of -14 in Bramhall last night.
Its currently -12. I just walked the dog, and can confirm that its effin freezin.
