Very Sad :(

[airman08]

My 97 Disco 1 TDI/Manual is with me for about 1/2 year. I bought it for the same reasons as everybody. Absolutely in love with it, especially the brilliant viewing angle, just like riding a horse.

But but but, so far, no one has given me a positive feedback, female friends are complaining it's too difficult to climb up, male friends are laughing at it's old school design and the noisy diesel engine.

Are you guys facing the same problems too?

Very common question: 1)WHY THIS? 2)WHEN ARE YOU GONNA CHANGE YOUR CAR?

My answers: 1)I just love it 2) I will keep my Disco

[loanrangie]

Easy, just get new friends :D.

[1976_michelle]

Get side steps for the ladies (though if they can't get a leg up over the edge of the disco.. nvm...)
for the male friends...pfft, replace em... or pull 'em out of a ditch next time they fall in one with whatever they're driving....

[gimposarillios]

Just ditch all your friends. You'll have heaps more time to fix oil leaks.

[Disco Muppet]

^ good advice.
Just make sure you replace your friends with LR people, to help you fix the leaks! :)

[MR LR]

Do what i do and give them more **** back!!!

OR

Agree on how much of a POS it is and the fact that it's like that special needs child you can't help but love... (no offence intended to anyone)

Cheers
Will

Ditch the short fat girls for taller more athletic girls:D, and ignore the diesel calls, if you had the V8, they would say it sounds nice, but then hassle you for having to stop for petrol so often.

This is not sad really.
It's more a revalation (s) on life itself.
You've seen the light and got a great car,, now you need great friends.
Great friends won't bag you out ever time your near your car, and will understand why you love it so much,, (even if they don't agree with you).
Your circle of friends will change depending on what/where you are in life, they tend to change with their choices, and yours.
Don't be sad, you can make some adjustments to your car to help them,, (so long as its worth the effort, and achieves YOUR end goal), or you can choose not to.
My partner hates our new car,, bad luck,, I love it :D But don't get me wrong, she loves the thought of where it will get us in the end.

I have a disco my other half a prado, she bags the proverbial out of my car until serious off road is planned then she doesn't mention her car just how do you want the landy packed

[Kev the Fridgy]

As the sticker on the rear window of my D1 says "Land Rover- The heart and soul of 4WD".......... 'nuff said

[dullbird]

The sticker on the rear of our D1 says, "Speed kills, drive a Landrover and live longer", but of course when we are on a long road trip the capability on all sorts of surfaces the Disco's ride, traction, handling and Tdi fuel consumption are soooooo far ahead of the other "trucks", Tojo's, Nissans, Pajero's, I can understand why they bag the Disco, it comes into the category of "if you have to ask, you would not understand!
Tell 'em to suffer in their Jocks.

Sorry to hijack but I think one of the best stickers I have seen on the back of a Landy was on the sunshine coast and I nearly crashed when I read it

" At least the country that makes my 4x4 doesn't eat Whales "

I thought how very topical

Thats Gold!!!.... Definatley going to get one for the rear of the D1.... nothing like a topical statement

[lotsmaw]

Mate of mine, Cruiser driver, realised he was mistakenly waiving to people driving D1s around our local town thinking it was me. When he realised the error he observed that D1s are like bums - everybody's got one. There's a good reason for that - they get the job done with a minimum of fuss.

Oh yeah, and when I went to Cape York a couple of years ago, my D1 was the tow vehicle that got another mate's Prado through the OTT.

See, now my wife hated our Disco

She made me sell it and buy a 110. She loves the 110 although she does drive it as if it was a small hatch back.

[newhue]

na, that sounds about right with owning a landy.
The blokes bag you because they would like to own one but aren't brave enough. They stay main steam because it's safe, and wonder about the landy family and how happy you are.
The girls, well, the girls; if they judge you for the car you drive than a Landy is even better than I thought.

[finallyrangie]

I got the Disco when my mates all had patrols, now they haveall had a drive off road, and compared fuel consumption, now they are all saving to swop over, let a tojo driver try a Disco, they get a REALLY big reality check!

So does that mean she didn't care about what it looked like inside when you took it back from Wombat the other week???:D

[Chops]

Hehe,, yeh right,, she was not impressed :eek: Funny that ehh. :D
