lets see : my discos adventures were fairly tame today. my wife and our roommate went to commissary and grabbed a rover load of groceries. I took it to grab the worlds cheapest couch from a guy from craigslist. BUT i have recently changed her air filter to one from K & N ( i will try exactly ONE of their air filters and then decide) and im waiting on a nice weekend day here in WA to replace the thermostat and all the radiator hoses in the hopes that it cures her intermitent over-heating issues. However this weekend she moved an entire house full of furniture AND drove 5 of us to see a breeder about getting my wife a new puppy. so my $1 couch costs us $800 in puppy. or we got an $801 puppy and a free couch. or a $801 ugly couch and a free puppy. whichever...

anyway, i still need to know how to get my rover keys away from my wife. preferably before my coworkers lynch me for driving a pansy-*** toyota paseo to work...

Ok, heres what you do, leave the Toyota parked in a questionable part of town with the doors unlocked.
After the car is stripped you will have to replace it. And of course then you will havehis and hers Rovers.

 

I think Spike may be on to something. You could always do what I have talking about doing with one of my work trucks and bail out right before it goes over a cliff. As soon as I can figure out how to bail out of a cab-over semi without killing myself that piece of crap is gone.

 

Today, I had a 4 runner tailgating me on the backroads. I lost him pretty fast when I got in the twisty section though. These things are fun on and offroad.

Find an excuse to haul a load of mattresses.
Arrange mattresses perpendicular to cliff.
Drive parallel to mattresses.
Jump from truck to mattresses.

Hope this helps.

 

It's an idea but I think I'd have a lot of explaining when I show up in the oilfield with a load of mattresses.

 

the problem is that the paseo is worth about a full tank of gas in the rover...
any NEW suggestions?
we have full coverage on both vehicles.

A properly placed match will get the job done. As small as a paseo is it should be gone in about 5 minutes. Stand back and roast marshmallows as you watch your problem melt away.

 

Today I watched all of my power steering fluid flow out of a hose that my serpentine belt somehow mangled. Trouble is that the wife's compact is having electrical issues and isn't running either so getting to work by Weds should be fun. I hear Autozone can cut a hose to fit but was wondering if you guys have any other suggestions? I really don't want to wait for a shipment from Atlantic British.
The worst part of the whole experience was that it began on a used car lot while I was looking at their VWs (for the wife, of course).

 

Yeah, I'm drawing a blank on how to explain that. You're prolly stuck with it.
