G'day all,
haven't been on the forum for a very long while....... I guess that happens if one is entirely content with one's vehicle. Just thought I'd drop in and say g'day and announce that the very faithful Disco 3 is on the market. She's been a truly excellent fourby and has worked much harder than the designers intended.
In fact, I just found out a couple of months ago, after putting my caravan over a weighbridge for the first time ever, that the dear old Disco has been pulling four tonnes most of its life. Tch tch. I always wondered why it preferred to go up gigantic mountains at 60 KPH instead of flying over them at 90 KPH? Oh well!
So, after five and a half years of doing better than I could ever have wished for, the old girl is making way for a Disco 4. Yep, I'm hooked. I've never purchased the same make of 4WD twice in a row, even during 21 years of continuous fourby ownership, so this is a first for me. I guess it is a good indicator of just how highly I rate Landys.
Going up-market and getting the HSE spec this time, as well as getting the locking diff, which I didn't bother with last time. I'm not going to bother with a 'roo bar, winch, rear bar and tyre racks or rear drawers this time. I've got to shed some weight. I will definitely be getting another long-range tank, Expedition Rack and Raised Air Intake though.
The new one is being built this month for a July/August delivery. Even the Minister of Finance and War has approved the purchase.
Cheers
Russ
