Don't have pictures right now, but I wanted to post here about what happened to me.
On Saturday night in Las Vegas, a woman driving a 2007 Camry ran a red light going ~50 mph and t-boned my DII.
I'm not the healthiest person around right now, but I'm alive and eventually I'm going to be okay, and I believe down to my core that not only am I only alive because my disco protected me and that it's a good thing I was hit, because the nice doctor and his kind wife in the tiny bmw z3 behind me would be dead as a doornail if I wasn't there and they got hit instead.
The woman who hit me wasn't so lucky, and it's never good to think about someone dying, but it's an overwhelming relief to know that my Rover is just as trustworthy and safe as I always believed it was, and it's an honor to say my disco saved my life.
I'm a little more of a better paid grownup now than I was when I first bought m disco, so I'm going to buy either a late-model LR3 or a new LR4 to replace it, but I'm incredibly proud of my truck. She bent the frame pretty badly, it's totaled but it did it's job.


Hopefully you guys feel a little safer reading this.

 

Glad to hear you are ok. Discoveries are built like tanks and that is one reason I drive one.

 

VERY glad to hear that you are safe and alive. After spending the last 20 years of my life doing trauma and critical care nursing in the military, the ONLY vehicles that I have driven are Land Rovers because they are BIG and SAFE....

 

We are glad you are safe.

As for the weight class, D1 = 4455 pounds, D2 = 4928 pounds, and LR3 tips the scales at 5796 pounds. The Camry was about 3378 pounds. Kinetic energy that had to be converted by the car and the truck crumple zones was huge, it increases by the square of the velocity. Like over 275,000 foot-pounds.

 

Seriously reconsider the LR3 I'm downgrading back to a disco

 

Glad to hear your going to be OK. That's one one of the main reasons I bought my 02 Discovery. I feel a little better knowing my Daughter will be safe driving it.

 

Glad to hear you are ok, battered but ok.
To bad about the woman.

We need pics when you stop shaking and get a chance to post them.

 

Glad you are ok. Like CAGUSMC said that is why we let our kids drive them. Feel better soon.

 

I say you get another 2000 Disco just like it and get some of the parts of the old rig and swap them out. IN ITS HONOR Glad you're okay.

 

Glad to hear you alive get better soon!!! Sad to hear about the gal that hit you.

I was in a accident and after my back surgery i went out to buy a disco II!
