I have owned my 20 year old Discovery Adventurer for the past 7 years and you know what it's like for us humans, we like to attribute human characteristics to pets and such like. Well my wife does this with everything, especially the car. If ever I speak of the car she tells me not to, as it will start playing up again, and it does. Now I am beginning to believe. I am having a hand operation next month, and as such will be unable to drive for a while, so I recommissioned my 21 year old Renault Clio for my wife to drive me whilst I recover. I have owned the Clio from new so it's in mint condition. The purchase of the Disco could not make me sell as it had no value to anyone else, so I put it in storage.
All the work I did on the Clio was done right in front of the Landy on the driveway, and I can only assume the car was watching. As when the Clio was finally MOTd and taxed, I was in full gushing mode, at how good it was to drive, and how quiet it was. Well! Let me tell you, when the time came to drive the Discovery again, it ran like a new car. NO! Better than new. The agricultural clatter of the TD5 was completely absent and the army truck ride it has from the Special Vehicles mods ( heavy springs and rollbars) was better than Rollers I have been in. UNBELEIVABLE!
How can it be these things have changed? It is not my imagination as other people have noticed without me saying a thing before hand. A MIRACLE! Has anyone experienced similar inexplicable occurrences?
