Thread: which is officially best disco model than?

Funny thing, my 1500 in my square back type 3 had a stripped spark plug hole as well, I had a bit of wire tied around the plug and a spare in the glove box because I lost one once coming back from Benalla and it was a slow old trip home on 3 Cyl's.

I read in the TV guide that it is a Lancia 1000 I think, I know nothing much about them other than I painted one with Beta badges once before for a teacher at school.....And I still failed

That would have been a great trip

yes i agree with this there are people on here that bate you as well, i'm fully aware of this but in the same instance it takes two to argue. so why dont you hit your ignore button too..because you need to grow up (and you all know who i'm talking about) its childish and its boring.
Yes I am opinionated and there are certain things that I dont feel the need to change my mind on but if someone can actually show me some proof that I should change my opinion I will and I have in the past.

Of course your all right, I'll take the Disco to the wreckers tomorrow and go buy a much superior D2 and I might even get a V8 just so I can use heaps more fuel JUST BECAUSE I CAN.Read this in a sarcastic tone PLEASE

i thnk what people are trying to say is not go buy a D2 but how can you have such stron opinions about something that they are assuming you have never owned/worked on or possibly driven. i think thats why people think you argue for the sake of having the last word
Forget about initial outlay, cost of running, reliablility, just make decisions based on looks and how many added extras you can bolt on because of course you need it all.

Yes ABS is a great step forward and I have no problem with it being on a road car, I also thing that all the other stuff is great on a commodore or Falcon or on a Disco that Im not going to take off road much so I dont have to pay to fix it....

i'm not sure whether this comment was in relation to what i wrote about the abs, but my comment was in referance to someone else that said he doesn't like abs and that he could break better himself..(my mistake for not quoting i was being lazy)I made a simple statement that if a new member came on and didnt have any idea of what they were looking at would possibly entice them to do a bit more research into what they were buying more than just put them off as it is just 1 persons opinion.....most intelligent people would get that so how come you lot seem to have trouble, your not dumb, just intolerant to differences of opinion.

The thing is, I dont like D2 electrics and neither did a hell of a lot of other mechanics but then you go to the D3 and they seemed to address most of the problems and now because of that it has become known for it's reliability and you will rarely hear me say a bad word about 1, I have even gone and stretched my neck out and said I would consider buying one.

There is a difference in having a honest backed up opinion and a biast opinion based on....."I have one so it is the best".....attitude.

This debate has been going on since long before I hit this forum and Im sure it will continue long after I get sick of all the **** you lot blame on me and **** off.

The whole lot of you that have piped up in here about my stupid innocent coment are just a pack of fuddy duddies for lack of a more wanted to use word and you really need to get a grip.

If you dont like whats happening in a thread and no one is character bashing you then........DONT POST......DONT READ IT.....It is that simple.

i have to say i found this comment quite funny as you are no angel you are just a little politer when you do it than most.

most intelligent people would get that so how come you lot seem to have trouble,

just a pack of fuddy duddies

Serial arguer, I'd prefer that then serial dick head.....

If anyone was offended by it then your soft and should get over your self.

If you want a thread to die then let it, but it your going to have a go at me about how wrong I am about something, either have a reasonable rational arguement or expect me to clash swards.

If you dont like what I post then use the ignor button....I wont be offended if you never read my posts or comment on what I say.

My posts are normally long winded and very explicid for the reason that I dont want to be missunderstood but it seems that even when I do this, people still get the wrong idea and I end up having to defend what Im saying.

i dont think it helps when you put things like;

My thoughts that's all, if you dont like it tough.

Now before actually replying to this post, read it a couple of times and make sure you really have the gist of it as I think half the time people just dont bother and try to guess what Im saying and just skim the post but this is starting to get into the serious character bashing stakes here so I would really appreciate it if you would take the time and try to understand what I have said and if you dont want to bother with that, please dont bother posting in response to this.

i have tried to answer a few things, but also had ago at trying to point out why people may take you the wrong way mcrover

Well I'll lend you some moral support McRover, I have a base spec Tdi for all the same reasons. It took a while to find and I could have bought a D2 for not much more but it was not what I wanted. Each to their own, it all very much depends what you intend to do with the car.

But you do know autos are for girls.

i also like the tdi's for the fact that they are more mechanical than electrical means us ladies can have a go at fixing em...

My ex-wife only took an auto licence, it was always very frustrating at the time.

Mind you, if we did a higher ratio of city gridlock, I'd consider an auto.

Im pretty sure Im not a girl but I will check....later...ok

The liking the auto thing......Im getting lazy in my middle age and am enjoying no more changing gears but I do still prefer the simplicity of a cog swapper over the slush box mechanically speaking but the auto is so easy to drive

Yes I agree with you having a Disco....I think everyone should have one or two or even three

So other than the girl thing (I know you are but what am I?).......Yeah I agree.
