It was so embarressing giving the pink car a handicap and it was still winning :D

Looks like there's a rope to the rolled ?disco, so perhaps they are trying to right it.

Sometimes you need to get away from the crowd, the only way to do that, is to get a little mud on the tyres.

I want one :)

Ditto, hated the D3 with a passion when it was launched but i've grown to love them now

I want one with the 300 horse V8... i'll let someone else take the depreciation hit first though!   :twisted:

The Mange Rover (that's what it says on the pink Dakar) had a winch cable to right the Disco on it's side.  It was sliding without chocks (and nowhere to easily place them) so the Disco down hill from there was helping keep it in place.  The third disco, IIRC, belongs to Paul who was supervising the recovery.

The Disco on it's side got the body quite badly twisted but appears otherwise OK.  It'd probably make a good donor for a Dakar.


And for the caption content
