Rangerover /Discovery X

Looks OK to me. Is that engine any good?

We used to have a non turbo version of that motor in a Ford Trader, that caused no end of trouble.

So when the motor dies, easy enough to hook up a drag bar of some type to move it along :p

I think he meant silly spot .... as you should offset the front receiver so you can see down the side of the 'van/trailer.

Wow that thing is hideous .... Just when you think a Disco couldn't get uglier .... they outdo themselves [bigrolf]

Indeed. There was a bloke up the road when I was a kid. He had a caravan that he kept in a carport off the back lane. This van fitted in the port with maybe 2" to spare on each side. He also had a Studebaker with a bar on the front, with a towball just to the left of the driver's side headlight. I always wondered what it was for, until I saw him putting the van away. Then it was obvious. He knew that the van fit. All he had to do was keep the side he could see as close to the wall as he could, and Bob's his uncle.

I can see why it's one of 9 also. But imagine if they were powered by 9 Iceberg engines that nobody knew about.


Interesting Discovery anyway!

See what I did there?
