Right at this very moment, i could care less about it, the thing is i really like the car, but right now i would sell it in a heartbeat, but, i would probably miss driving it.
This is what it's all about

There are only a few times in a man's life when it's ok to cry.

This is one of them.

The day I totalled my 2.6l series 3 lwb hard top.



I also got some strange responses at our last club meeting when I said that I had been thinking of making a coffin in the style of a Land Rover body. Aluminium sides with galvanised cappings and canvas tilt.
I thought it was a good idea

Yep .... Always knew I was meant to drive a landie. This gets confirmed on a regular basis when perfect strangers .. young and old, male and female stop me in the street and say .... What a beast. Now THAT'S a 4WD!!

How'd ya keep ya cool while watching that. .. Some yoga, fung shui, or maybee just knowing that metal scrapes aint worth the hassel. Excellent personal control, I want what you're on..!
It was just thick-walled 2 inch pipe this guy was using to damage his car.
the best part is once he'd done it (parked) he got out, looked at the mess, then walked away!

Love it !!!!!!!!

Yep,

Gotta agree with your there Simon, I've even stopped walking to the train station to get to work, I drive now just so I can do it in my Disco.

You know, I could probably buy a diferent 4x4 to get me to the places i want to go, but it's just something about the Disco man, I can't put my finger on it, it's almost like it is a part of our family. I look at it and get a small quiver in my veins, even a small pump of adrenalin, it makes a grey sky blue ..... i don't know, it just does something to me .......

When out driving with my 3yo daughter, every time I see another Disco on the road i say 'look baby, another Disco'. She has now started to say the same thing, I love it.

I can honestly say that it is the first car I've owned that I have actual love for. i fix it, I wash it, i wipe it, I polish it, I buff it,.......... then I go and get it dirty and do it all again.

I can tell you that this will not be the last landrover I buy ..........

Jason
