Cool, it shares a name with the Dangermouse car...

Anyhow..   I was playing around (in an effort to cheer Nelly up)  Anyone think this looks better or worse?

You could have done it properly!

Whats with the wonky tail light and where are the alpine windows?

It ain't no disco without em.

Looks more like one of those jeep thingys from America.... :wink:

not knocking it I would have one you could probably get all sorts of covers for the "pick up" bit like the warrior or surf etc etc etc bet you would sell loads to road builders they seem to buy discos

The spirit of the Landy owner lives on......

Barely off the production line (maybe it isn't) and we're modifying it.

It'd be cheaper for Landrover if they employed the Mud Club members for their R and D dept.
