I've been around forums for a very long time. I've had a disco for 4 years. This is the first time I've come on a landy forum. I used to pay someone else to keep my disco going as I invested all my personal effort in jap performance cars. Now I live in a village for over a year which is a record for me (and probably will do for many years as my kids now go to school)and have for the sake of the poor machines had to sell the jap machines.

I've stuck my disco back on the road. This was an epic welding and mechanical achievement being as its sat for 2 years with some serious seven sister mud left in it for all that time.
As I no longer have access to a specialist mechanic and as I no longer invest my time in 600bhp jap cars I'll be doing some stuff on my disco. I realise going on the work to get it through the MOT I will have to learn welding skills. I also realise I need an account with WD40.

Anyways here's a big hello and here's to the beginning of the learning curve.

welcome along. many helpful people on here if you ever need them.

Wonderful a guy who knows how to introduce himself, welcome with open arms.

....and lots of unhelpful people **** taking when you don't want 'em. Welcome dangerous brian

Agreed mate, coming from Hondas, trackdays, cut slick tyres and lots of wax, it's a major change of scene!

BUT tbh mate its a good one. Easy to work on, cheap and you can do EVERYTHING yourself - it's totally refreshing.

Welcome to the slow and messy vehicles department. You will enjoy

:welcome: to the mad house

Cheers for the welcome guys. Can you put pictures directly on the thread or do you need to external link them? I need to work on my profile as its empty at the moment.


androver I used to have a suit that looked remarkably like the one in your avatar
I'm not new to offroaders or offroading. I've had this disco for 4 years I think and a P38 (that emptied my pockets more than my silly cars did). I had a minters 200 tdi imported back from Japan which I really regret selling, and a range rover royale which I also had to sell as I had too many cars and didn't have the time to restore it.


I've done seven sisters a couple or three times, and some green laning local to me. I have to hold my hand up and admit that initially I wasn't aware of the rules when it came to green lanes so may have driven in the wrong place but joining glass opened my eyes to that and I only pay and play now or go on proper organised laning.

I have been a member of the shires and muddy bottom clubs which I will be re-joining soon.
