Discovery versus Metro

Having aquired muddysteve,s old metro i,ve noticed a few differences between driving the disco and driving the metro  :lol:

£10 worth of fuel in the metro = half a tank :D  in the disco it dont get off the red  :(

i cant straddle the kerb outside my house with the metro, it gets stuck on the kerbstone :oops:  as it grounds out :lol:

large potholes require careful avoidance with the metro also speed humps require me to slow down  :lol:

dont 4x4,s look big when you meet them head on in a lane in a metro :shock:

pulling out of one junction near us you cant actually see over the grass on the verge to see whats coming in the metro  :lol:

My 620 is like driving a go kart too. And I agree with all the kerbs and bumps etc except for the fuel. £10 in my 620 gets the needle to about a quarter. my 620 does 14p a mile. Not bad for fuel prices these days.

Both rovers are wonderful though. I love them both.

This Hyundai i'm driving is like the devils rollarskate!
Loads of nippy fun but so scarily small compared to *most* other cars!
