As we were driving to my son's karate practice Saturday morning, we drove by this old, beat-up, very weathered, Range Rover...we both did a double take and giddily named it "Chop Top Rangie".
Later that day, we drove back by and took a few pictures with my crappy cell phone camera:
'01 Disco II SE 78K as of 06/18/11; stock except for tires and "custom" CDL activation lever (10 mm open end wrench). DiscoMike's 60K service done; Re-built front drive shaft w/greaseable parts; New head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, intake plenum gasket and front timing cover gasket; Magnecor 8mm wires and Bosch Plus 4 plugs. 245/75 16 Wrangler SilentArmors. Most off-road activity done on my hunting lease.
My son and I did a double take when we drove by the old, weathered, "Chop Top Rangie" this weekend...we had to stop and snap a few pics (sorry the pics are lousy, crappy cell phone camera!).

There are quite a few of those around, what I would like to see is a chop top Disco.
Keep your eyes open...chopped Disco's are around too...I don't know who owns it, and I didn't snap this picture, but below is one that I just saw at MAR a few weeks ago... http://solaros1.smugmug.com/Land-Rov...35102299_vjHt9

This is being moved to the Roaming with Friends section, again.
In the name of keeping the forum clean we are trying to keep non tech stuff over there.
Hey Spike, sorry for posting in the wrong section, again, LOL! Honestly, I had no idea that you kept moving my thread to the Roaming with Friends section! If I would have known the first time, I would have quit posting the pics in the DII section over and over again!
I seriously thought their was something wrong with my computer because every time I posted the pics, the post would disappear. I kept running disk scans, de-frag, re-loaded MS Office, re-booted the computer several times and kept posting the pics again...at least I know my computer is fine!
Sorry Spike!
