Actually - I wouldn't put that route past my missus :D

Depends which way she rotates the maps as we drive along.....

I was going to take the Disco, but now am thinking it would be a good first outing for the 90.

Good stuff, re the above outing, I would counsel everyone to drive nice and orderly as Im sure everyone will, but I may see some of you due to a CAMPAIGN I AM ROSTERED TO BE WORKING ON IN THE AREA over that weekend.... cant say anything though...:angel:

>>>>>> DONT SPEED ETC TRAFFIC BLITZ SUPPOSED TO BE ON, iM ROSTERED IN IT FROM a spot between blanchetown and barmera starting with W!! TO GO UP AND DOWN HIGHWAY AND SIDE ROADS, SO IM SURE OTHERS WILL ALSO BE- LOTS OF PLAIN CARS AND A PLAIN BIKE!<<<<

Noice, my ultimate dream car. If you don't mind me asking how many clicks and how much? (PM if you'd prefer) :confused:

Well done mate, it looks great.

Well I know everyone will say I paid too much, and I reckon I have paid a couple of grand over the odds, but they were asking $40K for it, so I offered $35K, and after a couple of days of haggling and me not budging they agreed on $35K.

It has 3 months warranty which is excellent (applies down in Adelaide too, which is important to me), and 85,000Kms on the clock. Full LR service history, and every service done spot on time. 80,000Km service done, which is a big one I think.

One owner. More LR accessories than you can poke a stick at (and all genuine LR, even the sheepskins are genuine LR!!).

The "Xtreme" stickers should have been removed today, and I will probably remove the sidesteps and put on something more substantial.

Other than that, I plan to leave it "as is".

Might go back to skinny tyres (7.50R16 Michelin XZLs) on steel rims, but that's about it.

Cheers

Sounds like a good deal to me. I'd have been happy paying that. She looks great and if you love it then it's worth it to you. Low k's and a deefer, you won ! :D :D

I supposedly overpaid for my Disco D1 according to the book value when i bought it 19 months ago however the engine had been rebuilt and she was on lpg and Diesel and I love it.

She's not missed a beat and is cheap to run and service myself. I consider it a bargain and am very happy.

Enjoy !

Regards

Congratulations on the purchase, and welcome to the 90 club!

A very tidy looking unit indeed. Like the colour too!

We eventually plan to move back to Adelaide, so I'll be bringing mine accross in a year or two.
