Thread: The pleasure of driving a Landy.

I feel the same exact way abaout my disco 1

Hey Muppet you have a disease..its called Landroveritis, thats why all of us here are here
To consul and reminisc about what we have or what we had. There is no cure.
You will just have to live with it for as long as you live. There will be times when it gets you down and no matter of pills will help. Others will look at you and snigger but deep down you know you are right and they have no idea.
I have had this disease since 1977 when I drove my bosses Rangie..I wanted one, I got mine in 1983, I havent driven anything else that I own since then. You normally dont stop at one I recently had 3 but I am down to 2, but that may change in the future. I still look forwad to driving mine every day I can. The pleasure never goes away..........

my favourite was our defender it didnt matter where you were going or for how long you were driving it was always total enjoyment(excluding when i crashed it)

I hear what you are saying Cam

Our first LR was a disco, it took us everywhere we wanted to go and then some Don't regret selling it though as we have the defender and of course my treasures 'zara', 'bessie' and 'connie-sue'


See you next week

Never driven a new landy, maybe I should try one out some day.
I do love the way the old series 3 behaves though, and the old (Naval Police) bosses Firefly was a little gem to drive.

I have a 94 Disco, and I actually enjoy driving it than my 2012 Prado at times, it feels and handles like a 4wd should be, though the diesel Prado is zippier, the tdi makes me enjoy the drive more

There's just something about the way the Green and Gold oval seems to grin at you from the steering wheel (if you have it )
The only little niggle I have now is as I have to literally climb up into it because of the lift, I keep knocking me head on the top of the door
There's something entirely satisfying about seeing the road stretch ahead, and knowing that you're going to enjoy every kilometre of it

i know how you guys feel
i have had other 4x4s and i can honesty say that when i get home from work i find a need to drive my disco
Their is just something about the growl from my little 3.9 that makes me smile every time even if shes just worming up
I havent been in my disco for that long but i cant see me going back to any others even though shes making me a better mechanic lol
I love my Disco
