Now that's one hell of a project!!!

Found this while looking for a new Disco.....
(c) EastCoastSalvage

They want £8950 for it!! On a 52 Reg and has 8 bullet holes in it.

[the loon]

Do they have any idea why it has bullet holes?

[spy]

Because someone shot it? ;)

Sorry, couldnt resist :D:D

[Damonski]

Do they have any idea why it has bullet holes?

because the td5 isnt as quick to get it out of the way as a V8 :)

[Blu]

I Can only count 4 Bullet Holes,Do you think they came out the other side?

[sulley]

They don't say why!!

SHOT-TO-PIECES!! 52 REG LANDROVER DISCOVERY TD5 DIESEL SILVER 5 DOOR FACELIFT MODEL (RANGE ROVER HEADLIGHTS) LOW MILEAGE 20K, INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING HAS EIGHT BULLIT HOLES IN IT. ( CAR COST £28K WHEN NEW) DRIVE AWAY FOR ONLY.........£8950

Personally I think it's a bit steep as it's got the additional air con!!  They only have the one picture of it, they want ten pounds for a 30 day trial of their website!!

I was wondering if it may be some extreamist branch of the ramblers or perhaps the alliance against urban 4x4's have started to get a bit more hardcore

Its a scarry thought

One of the guys on here found a g wagon for sale in Russia...it had been 'stopped' by the mafia....looked like swiss cheese!

[denviks]

a bit of filler no one would ever know  8-[  :(bigwicked):

All i can say is he must of p***** someone big time as they are from a large calibra gun going off them holes they look like 20mm so they went stright through. Hope no one was inside :shock:

[PUX]

could have always been a film prop u never know

They look like exit holes to me.  Small hole in, big hole out.  Car's are pretty soft skinned, all full-bore rifles will go straight through door skins etc., even some rimfires.  Full metal jacket stuff will go through the engine block and still kill anything in it's way.

Big project.  If it is straight through, then you're talking seats, floor pan, dash, electronics and lots more to put it right.  Notice the glass is also shot out.

They look like exit holes to me.  

Dunno about that as the metal around the holes is pushed in rather than out, as it would be if it were from an exiting bullet, but like you said

Small hole in, big hole out

so if those are entry holes, i'd hate to see the exit holes on the other side :shock:

I was guessing that they'd use an angle grinder (or similar) to "tidy" up the holes.  If not, then like you said, it's a big round, possibly from one of these.  :lol:   It's hard to say with a small "straight on" photo.

having a god luck at the pic the shooter was stood behind the disco to the near side as they entry holes are rectangler from the rear to the front so the rounds that went in the door are probley embedded in the engine block. and going off the patten it was a solid round not a ball bering round as there is no splatter of the shot. and measuring the hole show the round to be of around 20-25 mm. thinking along the lines of bradley apc gun. (spent to long in the army for my own good) :shock:

That explains it then... American "friendly fire".  :twisted:

Question is though - what was this Disco doing in the vicinity of such a weapon?

probley drove up to a yank army base with his headlights on :D So they shot it up. Or it just out did one of there hummers on the off road course :lol:

Wouldn't of liked to be a passenger if it was that :shock:

But surely if if was that big a round it would have gone straight through the engine bloke rather than being embedded in it.

The UN don't use disco's do they, it's white and i know it hasn't got the logo but they could have debadged it, that would explain why it was in that sort of situation.
