Thread: I didnt want a Land Rover

I had looked at a couple of good RTV's. I was not getting a Land Rover. I was taking my son to an appt and had an hour to kill so I thought I'd look at a disco in a yard up on one those 10' high ramps. I was not getting one btw. It was perfect underneath, had the EFS suspension kit, diff locks, good tyres, plenty rego, about 100k, very clean interior, arb bull bar. $26k.
Then a salesman appeared. I said,"no mate, too dear" he said "what have you got to trade?" I said "a 15 yo falcon mate" he said "what would we have to do?" I said "$20k clean changeover, $20k limit mate....not adding taxes and other stuff into it" he said" no we couldnt do it"....I said " good thanks mate, I wasnt gonna buy a Land Rover anyway, ooroo".... he said " hang on a minute can I have a chat to our GM about it?" " I said" no, its ok, we gotta be somewhere else in an hour anyway" he said "If the GM can approve this you can be on your way with it in less than hour".... I said " mate if you can get it approved in less than an hour at a clean $20k changeover I'll buy it" So, to cut a long yarn short, the bastards eventually met my price. Thats why I drive a disco today. Thats about 3 yrs ago. SWMBO hasnt driven it yet.Eldest son drives it every chance he can. Youngest son on "L" plates reckons it ****s on the 3 other car choices he has to learn in. and I love getting in it and ****ing off into the bush for 4-5000km couple of times a year.
I'm tellin ya.....I wasnt gonna buy a Land Rover !

I didnt want a land rover,
not interested- no way,
My love for them was over,
pathfinder or bravo- I'll find today,

I'll drop my lad to his meeting, now to kill an hour or so
Hey I'll wander thru this car yard here and browse the shiny cars
I dont want a landrover, but look at that disco!
its got EFS, and "blings" and bull bars!

I dont want a landrover, thats one thing that I know
but at 100k the mileage on this is low!
the inside was so pretty and the whole thing was so clean...
but no I dont think I want a landrover, I won't, I don't!! I mean!

besides the price is very high,
for fun I'll tease this sales crew
"price shrinks,or I will bid "GOODBYE"
The man in a knowing voice said “what do we have to do?”

My blood went cold, they couldn’t get the price so far down, could they?
And I did not come out to buy a land rover today, or any day!
But the price dropped like a fat drop bear-
The mongrels met my price right there!

I bought the car, I didn’t want, I brought it home to stay
so that was now near 3 years back
My sons have driven it road and track
And I have it to this day!

I didn’t want a land rover,
But when push came to shove,
I bought the car, it won me over
Its the car that I truly love!

So heed my tale, for it is true
I didn’t want a rover
But now I have, I’ll join the few
A land rover owner and lover!
