It is with a slightly heavy heart that I have to announce that I am no longer a Land Rover owner. She went last night.

The better half sold her horse trailer, I don't do off-roading to the same extent that I used to, so truly speaking I no longer have a need for a large heavy 4x4 like our Disco.

I would like thank all of those of you who have helped me over the last 12 yrs, to learn as much as I have about owning and fixing Landys - it's been a real pleasure.

I'd like to hang around here if no-one minds as I might be able to help others?

Thanks again for all the fun, friendship and help, you're a great bunch,

You hang around Dave ;) :D :D :D
 
your input has always been helpful. and unless you suddenly get amnesia. i`m sure it still will be.:)
i dont do greenlaning or have a horse box. but owning my landy and keeping it running has become another of my passions. keeps me out of the house as well:D
must have been a hard decision for you.
so what toy will you get now?

To be honest mate I'm not sure, Wend has got herself a cute little Panda which will benefit from some TLC.

But for me I don't know yet. I would really like a proper classic like a Citroen DS - 1960's variety - or a Brit sports car. I'm just sure if money will allow :eek::eek::eek:

Dave
 
AHHH the Citroen DS What a beautiful car and far ahead of its time..
Still holds a good price for a nice one...You wont go far wrong with one of those..Enjoy:):)
 
you could always buy a freelander, still a landy, still offroader, cheaper on fuel but with just as many (if not more) problems to fix!, keeping you off the street and in the garage! :)
 
Dave, sorry to see you go.
maybe as Gen McArthur said "I will be back"
Thanks for your help in my 9 years with a disco 1 auto.
Now on a 2002 Disco 2 auto. We don't do off roading and now only about 8000 miles a year. Both in our 70's.
My wife has a bad back and we will put up with the Disco as it is so comfy.
We don't go out of Scotland and manage about 5-6 week breaks in the year all over.
Good luck and please stay on the forum
 
Sorry to hear that Dave. Stay around though as your knowledge of Disco's will help lots of folk in the future.
 
Please believe me guys I am genuinely moved by your kind comments.

I have taken great pleasure and satisfaction in being able offer a hand from time to time and whilst my main interest will be elsewhere (haven't decided yet) I would still like to share what little I have, with others.

Keep enjoying your Discos, that's what they are there for.
