    Hell no!
    I'd need a team of 10 to carry me :-)

    However, it may be the ONLY new Discovery I'll ever have

    Ron,
    $200 sounds like a bargain to me, sure you didn't leave a zoro off? I'm a big kid myself too!
    My Landy doctor up here has what looks like these pictures, but in the smaller scale. If you get no joy before the new year I'll sus it out for you when he reopens.

    Ian,

    I think this thing is Chinese.
    The name on the bonnet is "Heng Tai"

    When I get it I'll have to take it to Landcruiser Park!


    Cheers,
    Ron

    The 3 Amigos in Adelaide have them on their website apparently at $130. There was a post on this a couple of weeks ago.
    The 3 Amigos!
    Land Rover Disco!
    Remote Control!
    $130.
    I do not know what they are like to deal with, but there has been some negative press concerning warranty.
    Cheers
