Default gotta quit doing this...

Every time I talk myself into getting rid of my Disco1, I end up taking it for a drive and realize I like it too much to get rid of it. Tons of rust (??) and brakes that I end up working on all the time, Electrical nightmares, things that just quit for no reason, but I still end up keeping it.

If you accept one basic FACT then owning a Land Rover is simple, it's just like having a family member on Life Support.

You know you should, and the correct action is to PULL the PLUG...….BUT " they " are so hard to part with!

Trust me after over 30 plus years of LR ownership insanity I wouldn't have it any other way.

My Land Rover motto over the years has always been "The worst vehicles you'll ever love". For some odd reason, Land Rover's marketing department never swiped the line from me.

Never get rid of a Land Rover. Just make it into yard art. They look great parked with a little grass growing up under them.
