OH NO!!! SuperSport is a member of the Jag forum. When I said "I'm kind of a big wig" over there I didn't know a member from that forum would be here and read my arrogant comment! I feel so ashamed now.

Oh well... I'll get over it.

All I really care to.
I know the suspension is different, but physics is physics.
I take corners in my D1, with 2" suspension and 2" body lift and 7.50R16 tires, a lot faster than most people in cars are willing to. Doesn't mean I think Discoveries are good cars for new drivers.

rofl!!! For that reason alone, I vote for the VW (Three grown Daughters). My wife has a New Beetle, and I can guarantee you that it's tough getting busy back there. NOT impossible, but tough...

Not at ALL. Actually, I looked at your videos, and you've done a great service over there. We hope to get more here when you get a chance.

You are a bigger wig than I am. I just asked my wife, and she confirmed it. I gotta go do dishes now...

Sorry for the hijack
About 36.5" tall, and yes that was my fist disco as well as my first car i ever owned lol. It held up well in the crash so i bought another.

Yeah, it looks like you can just buff that right out.

Your black truck does look very nice. Nice stance. Although, maybe the white one on it's side is lending credence to antichrist's thoughts about them rolling over easily.

Lol, it rolled due to swerving to avoid an idiot who slammed on his brakes during a thunder storm. My whole rear lost traction and i ended up facing traffic. I didn't roll till i hit the guard rail with my rear end. Funny thing is i just paid it off the week prior The black one hs been paid off for a while now so, so far so good

I didn't mean to imply that Land Rovers roll easily, they've always had a low center of gravity compared to many comparably tall vehicles. But the fact is they are taller than a car and will roll more easily that a car, assuming the same track width. Add weight on the roof, like a roof rack, and they are even more top heavy.
