New 3rd Gen is here

[dillypad]

Had first test drive of my new 3rd Gen. Very impressed. Its immaculate with only 45000kms on the clock. I wil get it on the road officially next weekend. Initial impressions: it feels a lot roomier, don't feel like I am sat on the floor as much as I do in the 2nd gen and feels more car than 4x4.

Some minor scuff damage in transit to the back wheel arch to fix due to some numpty docker.

Yes its a third Gen and dare I admit its got a petrol engine but I am going to get it gassed up. I don't do any serious off roading and don't tow anything. I do a lot of miles with work and its the only way I can afford to keep surfin'. I'll let you know how I get on with the gas.

I will miss the chrome of the 2nd gen and the grunt of the 3.0l oil burner but I guess you can't have everything.

I am sure I will have more to say when I have given the new car a few days use but all I can say at the moment is 2nd and 3rd gens look very similar but feel very different.

My new OLD 3RD GEN is like a 2nd Gen in comparison to my old newer 1999 3rd gen.
