Guys,

I am madly in love with my Disco... but I have a problem.

Ever since watching "The Gods Must be Crazy", I can't get the Series Land Rover out of my head! The more I try to stop thinking about it's sturdy, rugged- Gah! See what I mean?

Does anyone else have this problem?

I thought I could do it... I thought I could just see the Series in action and walk away from it...

Apparently its a requirement to watch it if you own a Land Rover.

Thats what I heard.

Yes, there is a requirment to watch the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy, if you dont watch it you are not a true Land Rover owner, if you dont own a copy then you are not a Land Rover enthusiest.

Part of the whole appeal of the movie is it's cheeyness, it was a low budget use the locals and unknown actors kind of movie. The kind of movie that I would make if I were making a movie with my LR as the star.

So where can I get my hands on The Gods Must Be Crazy, I cant find it at any local video shops....
Oh, and Disco2fever, There is a guy a few miles down the street from me who sells a bunch of series rovers. I love to stop by and look at them, he's had some pretty amazing ones come through. Here is some I took pics of:

That Forward Control is pretty cool, I really like the last one.
www.netflix.com, www.amazon.com, www.e-bay.com
Just Google it Cam. It is a cult classic.
