Ho hum ... it looks suspiciously like I might be leaning to the decision of selling my pride and joy .... the Discovery.
Trouble is ... I have no idea how to value him :( I have owned him for 7 years.
So...er....two things - one is a poll, and the other is....
How much should I part with him for?
Pic of him here :

:shock: I'm just phoning Julie
-
too much time and effort spent on it mate.........+ it looks brilliant :wink:
-
Julie says " how about contract hire?" :lol:
-
How much should I part with him for?
Whoa, dude! How do you put a price on an icon?
Big step - think long and hard!
cheers

If you can wait until I win the lottery - I'd be happy to offer Piglet a new home!! Don't suppose you want to do a p/x? :-k

"MUD CLUB we say NO!" :cry:

:lol: :lol: Nice try Gordon

I've voted for the (nearly) unanimous NO.
Piglet is an icon, and should remain with you.
IF you really have to sell, then you need to be careful who you sell too. Ideally it would be another Mud-Clubber who could keep up the traditions - if not I think they have some rules about national treasures being sold to foreigners...... Be carefull!
If you don't watch out there will soon be a leaflet campaign for you to keep piglet, then we'll have posters, stickers, t-shirts - the list is endless, please put a stop to this madness now by PROMISSING NOT TO SELL!
-
I take it that the yes votes are people that want to buy him. :)

HERE! HERE! SAVE PIGLET!! :lol:
-
Where's the third option.... break him for parts ?
I'll have .... :twisted:

So, is anyone going to be brave enough to quote a value? :wink:
-
Have I missed something?
Why do have to sell Piglet? :?
-
Flog it ! All those Piglet tears of rejection are gonna make him rusty ;-) There's no point in keeping him if he's not going to be used for the purpose for which he was created. You know it makes sense to send him to a new home where his springs will bounce again, air will flow through his snorkel and he'll feel very satisfied that he's once again, top dog and not playing understudy to a big brother.

RACE YA :twisted: :wink:

Damn, forgot to vote.......WHAT only 17% vote to sell ? Are you all mad ?
I'll stick me neck out and state....standard motor £3500K plus all the add ons must have cost £3500 + ......therefore current value £4500-£5000 and you'll sell it. Ask Paul how much he paid for his motor with £10k's worth of receipts, he might be better to advise.
-
Bu****...forgot the roll cage, that'll add another £500 :-)
-
Well three thinks to consider :!:
One Don't sell
Two Don't sell
Three Don't sell
How dare you even consider the idea :evil:
-
Blimey, you're a sentimental bunch aren't you ? (or as my old man would say, semimental)
-
Semimental :lol:
-
I've only just realised this is the MUD club, I joined thinking it was the MAD club.
But there is still not enough insanity I my veins to see suggestion of the PIG being LET go.
-
Mace...you forgot the new engine......£5k :( Diffs...hmmm....
-

I'm not insane, I've just got a BIG heart and I know piglets feeling very rejected. If Thasher had to ask the question then he already knew the answer ;-)
-
Mace...you forgot the new engine......£5k :( Diffs...hmmm....
It's only money Neil :-) Work out the depreciation on OWL in 3 years time and £5k will seem like a snip.
-
Mace...you forgot the new engine......£5k :( Diffs...hmmm....
The trouble is Neil, you never get back the amount you spend :( Stuff like "new engine" are good plus points, but...
If it was up for £5K ... I'd be interested ... and then probably divorced :shock:
-
Don't do it! you'll be sorry! As we say to the kids! "There will be Tears"
-
I'm not insane
Ooops, hope I havent offended you there, it wasn't intentional.
I just don't want to see Piglet depart, if he goes to another Mud-clubber then I think that would be OK, he wouldn't be leaving 'us', only moving around a little and spreading the joy.
-
I voted 'Yes' Neil as I'm guessing you don't need Piglet anymore. To be honest if I had owl and piglet, I'd be tempted to sell too.
-
There is another option:
Don't sell Piglet, just put him under the care of somebody who makes sure he gets the attention he deserves. I know someone who will make sure he'll get his feet covered in Yorkshire mud every weekend. :D :D :D
-
Hmmm, you might have a point there, maybe he could be rented out to approved individuals - keeping him in the family but providing the extra income needed....

My Julie beat you to it - right at the beginning of the thread :wink: They had an affair you know :lol:
Julie and Piglet I meant!!!!!
-
Funny
I was going to talk to you about this Niel
I had a feeling this was coming
I read something you wrote mentioning you bought the disco because it was nice then it just started to happen.
now you have Owl and you've started doing bits to it i thought it was only a matter of time.
As for a value, not a clue mate.
worth what someone will pay i guess?
Shame but progress is progress.
(i voted yes)
-
if youve consideredit then youve answered your question, im currently changeing my motor, pick the disco up in the morning!
have to agree progress is progress! let someone else get some fum out of him if its just siting on your drive neglected!
-
yes if you want a new project then sell piglet but make sure its to a mud clubber :D as to price i know its got lots of kit but it looks like about 5-6k but then who am i :(stoopid): i maybe well off the mark. if only it was a diesel i would be really interested. joe
-
yes im totally wrong with prices whatcar say that a 1997 es is worth 5k private and 6k dealer and thats for a standard es model so with a spec like yours its got to be 8k upwards :D
-
Since no one has made you a formal offer then I shall get the ball rolling with £500 :wink:
-

back of the queue,im makin an offer of £800 as i can use the chassis & engine to make piglet go "really" fast in a different format
-
I can't see why you would want to sell, you'll never get what you think its worth with the time it takes and money it costs to build a truck like that.
You won't play hard in the Rangey will you? Not like you do in that Piggy Beast!
-
Being realistic I think that Piglet should be sold
Seeing it sitting there on your drive the other day getting covered in rust is not good - it needs a new home.
On the value front its gotta be worth around £5-6k, its got some good bits on it, but all said and done underneath those stickers its still a 97 disco, and a petrol one at that.......best you get some money for it whilst its still worth something.
:cry: Do the decent thing and put it on Ebay
-
If it was a diesle & my duaghter had not just bought her first house (daddy's bank takes a real bashing now), i think i would be the next proud owner,
good luck to who ever buy's it there's a lot of truck there,
John.
-
The best way to recoop some cash from the sale is to sell what can be removed and then sell it as a 4.6 standard disco with roll cage and snorkel.
That way you get back loads of small moneys from all the bits and then a lump sum for the car.
Thats what i'd do.
:)
-
Seeing as I missed out on 'Enery, can I have 1st dibs?
:~))
Wow, end of one era, start of the next and all that...
I'd love to offer a bid, but would only be dreaming......
love to the family....
Phil

=; :cry: =;
-
Strewth man you've got a new RR
- share it around - sell the Boar! :wink:
-
Neil lets have a quiz with a question that only i know the answer to and piglet is the prize thats fair :wink:
-
And to make it fair, those who voted NO are not allowed to enter this competition ? :lol: :lol:
