what do you drive?

[chuggernought]

just a bit of interest, series 3's seem to be getting rarer on our roads these days so wondering what people are actually driving.

just to be curious when you say 90/110 do you mean actual 90/110 or does defender 90/110 class in there as well

wondered who was going to be the first to ask that one!
basically leafer or coiler.
the differences between 90/110 and defender aren't enough to worry about.
i've just noticed lately that all the landrovers you see on the roads seem to be coilers nowadays.
not long ago s'3s were common enough and you saw them everywhere, but now i find myself saying "ooh look, a series 3" in the same way as i say "ooh look a series 1"

yeh i know what you mean

i do miss my series 3 but sadfully with traveling greater distances for work and actually needing to get to work i had to sell her and get my old defender, pity i couldnt have 2 cars at home

still keeping tracks on her though so hopefully one day will buy her back, a wreck she was but she was my wreck

Oh dear, what if you have 2 types of Landrover, My S3 & Disco?
Can only put 1 in the options.
Still love driving the S3, but need a bit of comfort for longer trips as well as a bit more speed.

I just remember the quote of my best friend.

"I wish I'd never got rid of my 88"

And for that reason my 88" stays, in spite of the others I've owned in addition over the years. Yes, she is still my daily drive and I put about 1000 miles per month onto her, as this is for work and all sorts. I do cheat and use my parents' car for the monthly run to Yorkshire, but that aside it's all series 3.

But she will be doing the grand tour of the North Highlands this year again (3rd or is it 4th time now) and about 2-2500 miles over the 15 days.

She's the easiest to work on, most fun to drive, and has most character

As I'm sure most of you gather, my baby is an all genuine S3 & I'm glad to own her. When I got her, I was quite literally the only series I ever saw. However, don't know whether seeing mine has rekindled interest or people are cottoning on to the fact they're cheap to insure but in my neck of the woods there's a bit of a revival!!

To be fair, they seem to be fair weather vehicles (I'm out & about everyday in mine so get a good sense of who else is out & about). Having eagle eyes when it comes to series' I spot them a mile off, then promptly scare said drivers off with over enthusiastic waving

Hi,

Well, I'm enjoying my series 3, still lots to do on the old fella, but I do smile every time I bumble about in it, which is quite often, either that or meddle with doing bits and bobs, which in itself is quite satisfying and frustrating in equal measure...

My other daily drives are old'ish classic Saab 900's...so I'm quite happy not bothering with the euro clones...quirky usable does it for me..

I drive a Disco 2 Td5 as my everyday vehicle. My S3 has been off the road for 9 years and is getting a 200Tdi fitted this summer. With the cost of fuel and running 2 vehicles, i may consider selling the D2 in the future, keeping the S3 and using that instead!

I agree that Series landies are getting rarer on the road. There are a few local to me but i don't see anywhere near as many as i used to.
