Had the local garage chic comment this morning on Trug :shock: .
"Are those mud-club stickers just to make you feel its okay to own a 4x4, even though it never gets muddy?"

I explained she never sees it muddy as the local garages (inc hers) have turned me away from the car wash on a few occassions, so now it gets washed at home.

I invited her for a ride in my 90 anytime, she soon stopped scouling and a wee smile appeared :wink:  :wink:  (Think ive pulled).

Mine's the village "bogged vehicle" extractor.

To date it's done two 4x4 building site fortlifts, a 7.5 tonne lorry and Transit full of dog food for the kennels up the road when the van skidded on ice and nearly went over the cliff, only the wire fence saved it!!  :shock:

This one was a bit out of my league though!  :D

Title: Usually used for towing

The few times I'm allowed off-road in it I'm under strict instructions not to "bend" it cause the wife needs it for towing the pony.

My Disco gets used for everything as it's my only vehicle.  Family, Work, B&Q, Tip, off-road, also as my main mode of transport for shooting/lamping/deer stalking/mobile hide, and personnel carrier when we do the SAS Survival weekends.

Generally nearly every part of my social life has an "anti" group or organisation setup to shut it down.  :roll:

Roll on next year when I get a new car for the family, then the Disco becomes the "SUV" - Sole Utility Vehicle.  :twisted:

She's not - she's complaining that she's *too hot* (cue obvious jokes here)  :D

She also demanded that I don't publish that photo on our website (technically I haven't so no rules broken there - right).

Mine mainly gets used as a farm hack and my transport to and from work.

 Photos taken a couple of weeks ago whilst bailing. Had to use the landy and flat bed trailer as the tractor broke down, sorry about the quality from my mobile.

Got a bit scary after 25Mph started bouncing the landy. The last picture the stack went a bit wrong had to restack the back end.
