Urban Dictionary: fanta pants

origin: Scottish (from gaelic 'farnter' meaning flame-haired) fanta pants refers to a true ginger minge,


Argh! ...so Defender owners think all of us Disco owners are 'ginger minges' ....:eek:

Aha! there in layith the joke

I went away with some friends June L/weekend and had a play on some reasonably steep inclines out of a creek. Now there was a 110 there with a rear locker and on one particular hill he took 2 attempts then said wow I feel like I'm cheating with a locker, I then had a go stopping half way up then continuing on up 1st go, My comment was I feel like I'm cheating driving this car:D Gotta love the D3.
Yes and by the way he is a chutney crotch Too so its not the Disco drivers:ninja:

I agree Driving a D3/4 off road against other (common ;) ) 4WD's is like cheating. They are that good even in standard trim for what is essentially a luxury vehicle.

Add in some goodies like 17's with muds, GOA rods/LLams, front bar, rock sliders and they become an excellent off roader, but retain the fact that they are still a luxury vehicle to drive on road even with the off road enhancing mods.

Most other 4WD's once you mod then become scary pigs to drive on road.

I bet the vast majority of even the hardest core Fender owners if they had a chance of driving a D3/4 fora week including some pretty serious off roading wouldn't want to hand them back once they found out how good late model Disco's are.

I took one of the new ones from the "roadshow" when Sutton Motors had them in Alice a few months ago. I didn't want to hand it back either.
I wanted it to go with the Defender.!
Don't get me started on the massaging, cooled/heated seats and electric everything on the RR. My son asked how far I thought the swear words would carry after the Centres red dirt graced the pristine cream leather.
But if you could afford it the I guess you just ignored it.

It takes something like that to show all the lookers what is the best off road machine around:D

Those lookers with their Jap things couldn't believe their eyes.........:)

And the Puma is virtually stock,except for a 40mm lift and a set of KM2's.

After 15 years and many miles over all parts of Australia,thats the reason why I never recommend modifying them.Real men drive Defenders,latte sipping hairdressers drive those D things:wasntme:. Pat
