    forget the 8x8, look at that Disco in the background

    Look at that axle spacing. Bit of scrub there.
    I agree the Disco is pretty serious.

    I saw a write up of the Disco in a pommy Landrover magazine. Runs a tweaked Td5, standard auto, and 49" tyres. He was thinking of putting a Range rover TDV8 in it.
    It's still road registered too apparently

    From what i can see there ar no prop shafts (yet), i'll be interested to see how he ends up driving them, maybe he'll use 2 of those morse chain set ups, but if i had 8x8, i'd make it 4 wheel steer, or at least steer the back axle on the rear bogie if it was set up like his

    The Disco is here:

    A new level in gay - Pirate4x4.Com

    Vids on p.4.

    There is an older thread on there, but probably not relevant.

    Bit OT, but I quite like what this guy has done with a RRC:
