Land Rover Discovery 1 DS3 0
Our DS3 is about 6 weeks old and has less than 1000 miles on the clock. On the way for a pub lunch with my wife on Sunday we made an amazing "discovery" (pun intended) in fact it was a Land Rover Discovery which reversed out onto the main road in to the passenger side of our DS3 as we where passing. It ripped off the wing mirror and dented in the side, from the mirror right back to the tail lights and bent the fuel cap housing to. Damage to the Land Rover Discovery, the impact broke the cover on the spare wheel on the rear door which did all the damage bummer ehh. On the plus side no one was injured but my wife in the passenger seat was naturally shaken up and the driver of the Land Rover Discovery admitted full responsibility confirmed when his insurance co phone to confirm this. So watch out for big 4x4's coming out at you from driveways they don't always look . Hope the garage does a good repair job and we get it back soon have an Astra Sri diesel courtesy car which is better than what you normally get but it's not our DS3.

Reminds me of the time I got rear ended by an old Land Rover, pretty much crumpled most of the boot of my Renault 19. Only damage to the Land Rover was a broken numberplate. Luckily he admitted full responsibility and everyone was OK.
Glad you're OK, it will make driving your DS3 so much sweeter when you get it back after driving the courtesy car

No So! I had a Freelander as a company car and I refute accusations of being a knob! "All" is a bit of an over simplification.Originally posted by AJ07 View Post

Mmm not sure you proved your point there JB, aren't the Freelander and Evoque models for lady drivers ??? They're not really 4x4s

Freelander not 4x4? You think it's two wheel drive?
How dare you suggest it's not a serious car!
