Inc must be walking on air after that Footprint,,,

and the rest of us are feeling pretty chuffed as well.

Let us know how you get on---

G'day Gents- it's been a while. For some reason i couldn't login for quite some time however the online help team threw me a new password so i'm giving it a road test.

Thanks for the input Disco Dan. The more i read these kinda posts, the more i learn that the issue is never about the initial purchase price but rather how much it costs to keep a disco on the road. Service info is very helpful and hopefully when it comes time for mechanical work, i'll be well informed to keep the servicing costs honest.

Pedro- as for the update on my search, i report bittersweet news in that i have had to put the car search on hold because i've just moved out of home. I am trying to keep the savings in tact as i try and set up the cottage i'm renting but it's certainly hard. So i've put on hold my online car search and long list of Disco Tips i have pulled off the forum. It's amazing how things like fridges and furniture can so quickly occupy the mind rather than suspension lifts, bash plates and big tyres. I'm also planning to make quite a bit of my furniture too out of recycled timber.

I certainly have not given up on the Disco and to keep me enthused i have started to help my mate make BIODIESEL. We are in the final stages of testing and have already run a batch through my mates Patrol. We want to develop a proper system but it's all starting to come together- i even have my first test batch sample sitting on my coffee table.

Anyway, it's all happening at the moment but i still appreciate the posts and wished to again say thanks for people's 2 cents worth. I'll try not to open up a biodiesel conversation here but it's certainly a refreshing topic. Once i've set up the new pad, i'll be back on the disco train!!

Large Portions of Cheers
