    Which is better Off Road a D3/4 or a mountain goat?... 'Percival'

    Ok this is not meant to create friction between the flat earthers in the Disco section and the Latte set who are currently occupying the other disco vs defender thread, so, believe it or not I am asking a serious question.

    The disco 4 is a capable offroader, but at it's current prices, I've been considering getting a mountain goat. I'll probably name him Percival.
    Mountain goats are incredibly capable standard, without the need for bigger mud-terrain hooves or fancy electronic hacks to trick it into being in a preferred ride height. Their traction control systems are incredibly advanced, with their rock crawling mode second to none. Power is down relative to other models in the same class (mammalia), but this is well balanced with it's proven offroad performance. Due to the kind of terrain mountain goats frequent, their water milage is pretty good too!
    Furthermore, your base model mountain goat can be purchased relatively cheap from a breeder, or obtained as a grey import, if you have the right connections (and can evade customs long enough).

    Please help me with this most pressing of questions- Disco 4 or my very own mountain goat?

    I think the Mountain Goat also carries its own poo as standard.

    I have actually seen a goat blown off its feet and tumble down a hillside - I haven't yet seen this happen to a D4.

    How does Percival go with soft sand?

    Given that Toxic Avenger is a young Tamworth boy from the bush and has plenty of experience in these matters I have no doubt he will be the one enthusiastically servicing the goat. ...

    Look on the bright side Toxic, with a goat you won't need the services of a Pajero as much. ...

    And a very apt name you have chosen by the way my young friend, given some of your comments lately it's really not that hard to imagine you wondering around the hills out in the back blocks playing with your Percy. ...
    Cheers,
    Terry

    Ownership is essentially the same except for the D4 you will own little fine leather gloves and with the goat you will own a pack of elblow length latex gloves. Otherwise its same same.

    Cheers

    PS. The Queen owns a goat and a D4, so that is compelling evidence about the analogy.
