Default LR n00b here with Disco II

What's up, I recently acquired a 01 Disco II that was pretty much abandoned in Upstate NY. I bought the thing sight unseen and tried to arrange a transport for it. After 3 months with many cancellations by brokers I got fed up and picked it up while I was working in Albany and drove it back to Vegas. Quite the trip...especially in a vehicle that hasn't been driven in 2 years.

Here's a few pics from the road trip

Getting ready to depart NY, a freezing 9 degrees on the Canadian border...


stopped in Amarillo, TX checking out Cadillac Ranch


and finally back in Nevada!

They're facebook urls, if you've got a block on social network sites then you won't see them.

Here's a few linked from another host-

Looks great for an "abandoned" Rover. Clean body and paint (at least it seems so from the pics).
You might want to avoid posting photos from Facebook, because I have no sites blocked and the pics didn't show. Maybe someone else that has been around longer could explain why the pics didn't show before.

I really like your cattle push bumper.

It does look pretty good inside and out for an abandoned truck, the major damage is the salt to the chassis. It's not terrible but there's a good amount of rust under there.

That's odd that the FB pictures didn't show up for you, they should be public for anyone by using just the URL. Interesting, I'll have to check into that.
