So, when I was a little un, I used to help out on my grandads farm (actually probably got in the way more than helped but I tried!)
We used to go everywhere in his 90 and I adored it!
A few years ago I decided id get a series as it was "a proper land rover" I had one for just over a year, then sick of the girlfriend complaining about being too cold, wet, drafty and slow, and if breaking down as it was bodged, I sold it and looked for a defender, I found one which looked perfect, sent my dad to look at it whilst I was at work and he agreed it was lovely. The following Saturday when I was off work, I went along to the dealer only to be told, 20 minutes earlier someone had been and put a deposit on it.
Deeply upset I retired home and looked on the internet for what seemed like an age, couldn't find anything I liked so looked into Discoverys, found a nice D2 facelift which I love, went to look at it, bought it, use as my everyday vehicle and love it.
I've recently been to look with my mate at a few defenders for him, and there is just something about them which still appeals to me.
I can't afford to run and insure both and I don't want to lose the disco, but I love defenders and have seen some very nice ones I could afford if I parted with the disco.
Is this a case of the grass being greener? Please convince me to stay with the discovery!
