    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Indus Silver

    Well got a puncture on the TLH, plugged to hole, but the crappy pump I have had for a few years decided to say enough. Swapped the wheel for the spare, will get a proper fix done after Canada Day

    2017 Discovery Si6 HSE Corris Grey

    Back from Namibia trip.

    D5 was just great!! We did about 2000km (1200miles) of dirt road.

    Som of the best diet road in the world and some times the worst roads.
    A few punctures in our group but happy to say that I had no issues with the “mall crawler” standard Goodyear Eagle tyres.

    finally got the tyre pumped up, my repair was good (for now) so decided to go mouse spotting, at least that's what I heard the wife say we were doing

    Just back from dropping daughter and friend at the beach. Not many people about, but the road is busy with NC500 traffic. Thankfully someone else is picking up later.

    Well....actually not in my D5 but rather in my 90 but a cool video of a trip we did to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana recently.

    It is the second largest reserve in the world and probably one of the most remote reserves. We saw only one other vehicle during 5 days in the reserve.
