Default Number 1001 purpose for Land Rover Disco

Well today was a good day. I have been getting more use out of my Disco. I figured I had to post and show the pictures and video.

So my Dad had and old barn on his property that he wanted demolished, so we cut holes in the back of the walls put a rope through and tied it to the Disco, and the disco pulled the rope through and tore the back wall apart causing the roof to fall (our intended purpose). I then tried to push it down with the front bumper of the rover. It just pushed it and crumbled it a bit. We then pulled the front out and it toppled. The reason we did not take a video of the rope work is because we knew wood would go flying everywhere and it did. I can attest it was awesome. My Dad and I where talking about start a Land Rover wrecking crew, haha. Nonetheless, it was a really fun day complements of the Disco.

Can you hear the knock, haha? I wish it was a diesel, sort of sounds like one.

Is that a knock or a tick, it sounds as if it is coming from the drivers side bottom of the engine. Oh well, there are times there is no knock and times it knocks any ideas?

Remember the Mel Gibson/Danny Glover movie where Mel used his Bronco and snatched the mansion off the cliff into the Pacific?

You ain't the first one to ****** a building down with a 4x4. Mel stood his up on the rear wheels doing that.

I have used mine to drag heavy stuff out of the garage and similar activites.

I like the old fashoned Redneck Drag Race where you put two vehicles facing opposite directions, chained together, drop the flag and nail it to see who drags
who away.

Lethal Weapon 2, it was a 1 ton GMC 4x6, it almost made me want to buy a GM truck.
