It’s my Anniversary!
After lots & lots & lots of consideration...I changed my 2017 D5 HSE 2ltr for a spanking new 30th Anniversary edition...it has the absolutely superb sd6 3lt V6 306hp engine (which was a must have for me after suffering the laggy 2ltr engine!)
The car comes with 22” wheels and the handling is far improved over my D5 on 20’s...doesn’t feel overly firm either, but really nice to get round bends without feeling like you are in a rowing boat...
Colour is Loire Blue and I have added steps, Black gloss rails and black dynamic grill...Well chuffed with the look of her and I get lots of comments from admirers....more so than my previous corris grey one oddly.
It has the new style steering wheel and full nav/meridian etc and I really like the black gloss dash/door trim...I really can say this car is a huge improvement over my D5 2ltr...the instant available power and smoothness of the newer sd6 v6 engine is amazing and was what I always felt the D5 Disco was missing!
Also this MY19 D5 feels better put together than my previous MY17 D5, maybe they got the QC / inspection nailed nowadays.

Congratulations Capt Pugwash. Lovely colour.
You seem like your Xmas has come early.
Kid in a sweet shop comes to mind.
Yes I too had a 2 litre on loan for 2 weeks and had to rev it hard to safely overtake. Felt such a big, heavy car needed a bigger engine.
Looked at 30 year addition too, but puzzled it was not released in an Hse or Luxury spec, otherwise would have traded wife's one in.

I think he has had a tad few beers, celebrating his new motor, and was falling over when he took the photo

I really like how those 22’s fill those arches...

Totally agree with the 22's v 20's.
Better stabilty and handling with a slightly firmer ride. Yes looks better when in access mode, fills arches nicely.
Have you got the adaptive dynamics?

Am glad that I specced the 22's as I posted way back the demo car handled like a boat, whilst waiting for our car.
Some on forum said the same whilst others said there car was fine leading me too conclude that it must be the different tyre profiles.
Yes I did see 22's were standard spec on the 30th edition.
Now adaptive dynamics mixed with the 22's, that I would love too test drive.
I may ring up the garage and see if they have that combination on a demo car, and report back my findings.
Enjoy the car
