Couldnt Do it :(
« on: May 29, 2006, 10:32:17 »
Seriously giving some thought of Swapping the Audi for a Disco with a fellow mud clubber.

Wrote him a huge pm with all the good and bad points. All the details the lot.

Went to hit send and I just couldnt do it :(

How do you get so attached to something mechanical?
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

I think that most of us will understand what you mean.
I totally missed my Disco when it was in the body shop for 2 weeks.
 :roll:
Is this a nice Disco you were planning on swapping for your Audi?
 :D

Yep.

Thing is I'll miss the car ocasionally trying to kill me, the sheer fun of driving it, the odd little quirks etc way too much.

Oh and the quite but failry evil noise it makes when you give it the boot. Exhaust setup is for power, not noise so it does that throaty grumbling thing that big straight engines doo and sounds like you have afterburners :) Now I'm missing not being able to drive it, oh well :)

Yes, you'd get all of that with the Discovery too :-)

But with the Discovery, you get an even bigger engine, with the correct number of cylinders  8)

Yes, but by deciding the car in front is just a mere obstical and pouring on the power at the wrong moment. Its taken 4 trips to Audi and we've just given up on it. 74MPH top on motorway is something is in front.

I quite like my 5 Cylinder engine. Something about the sound it makes. It doesnt sound even close to a V8 (drinks like one) but its enough to make the chav next to me at the lights realise he may have made a mistake. Yes its a Saloon, yes its an H reg, yes its heavy yes its 4wd with the power to make it all just work :)
