Howdy all,
First off I should probably point out that I'm not a hippy, but I am feeling the love already on this forum from seeing all your replies to each other, so I'm sure that I'm in the right place with a good community and plenty of knowledge tucked away on here!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

So! To myself, I'm Tom, live in North London and have always fancied a Land Rover in my life, I did toy with the idea of an L322 Range Rover for a while before deciding that an older Disco would be the way to go! Besides i have the tweed and a black Labrador so of course it's the perfect car for me!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have to admit that I've never had one before, a few mates have had a couple of Defenders between them, but I fancied something (dare I say it) slightly more suited to dual carriage ways/motorways etc and I think I've found it in my new Discovery 300 TDI. The car was quite cheap and hence not perfect, but that added to the charm for me! As I said, this would be the first I've ever had 4x4 wise (and also the first diesel I've ever had! So a double whammy!) Outside of the Landy World my tendencies have alway been a bit Japanese and currently consist of this (Evo 6 (569bhp):
And this (R33 Skyline (641bhp)...
And... Last but not least Pepper! (Sporting her Summer sunnies!)
So as you can see... I couldn't be anymore out of depth in the new World of Landy-ownership and with Pepper demanding ever more comfy and capable cars to take her to countryside (both of which the above aren't exactly suited
) Enter Player 3...
One slightly worse for wear 300 TDI - the weird thing is that I wasn't expecting it to steal my heart quite as much as it has already, it's a totally different world of cruising around without a car in the World... So my previous plans of not modding it and using it as a second/third car have gone a little out the window and want to show her some love now![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

So I'll try to get some kind of a build thread to together to chronicle the progress, but in the mean time! Hi!! And thanks in advance for the help!
