glutton for punishment
« on: August 22, 2008, 09:12:47 »
it's pity i don't care for landrovers really.

in order to get as much air under my diff as a landy on 33's i have to fit 35's and unlike a landy that needs more than just a lift.

but then i do have the satisfaction of knowing i achieved my goal through inventiveness and engineering ability, not just by having a cheque book to hand.  :-#




sorry :twisted:

indeed, quite a sweeping statement considering a lot of us with Landy's do so because we dont need an unlimited cheque book to keep running. I think the whole of essence of a Landy is ingenuity

"94 maverick lifted on 31's. Boldly going where no landy has gone befor! "
is that he Ford garage?? :)

Lets show and keep the respect for each others rides?
after all, we all chose and have our reasons for what we drive dont we??

BUY A DISCO

I have hidden a message in the text of this post, It will not show to those who are not already interested in purchasing this vehicle, if you cannot see the message then you are already the owner of the perfect truck for you  ;)

If you own one already don't let on and you should have bought a three door s1 ;)

I bought a Disco before the one I have now, terrible off road, kept getting mud on the turn tables and the flashing lights kept putting me off  :afro:

Five doors are fine by me - means I don't have to get out in the rain if a back seat passenger wants to disembark!  :lol:
