Bought myself a discovery

[tuscan_al]

Well I decided sod it lets get one. The guy drove over to me to look at it, and I liked it

Good drive, smooth and quiet. Great out in the snow, so who wants to play at the weekend.

Will get some pics tomorrow, but here is the ebay advert.

I paid £3200, 2 owners last since 2001, had HG at 100k.

Bargain, good work Alex. I'd be up for a play this weekend, however I'd probably need rescuing from Crowthorne

[Fast_&_Fatuous]

Dead jealous mate. I miss mine loads. I have three cars at my disposal but none will get me out of my close.
Hay-ho!

Have fun at the weekend!

[John D.]

I'll be up for a play

Bit of a random purchase no?

+1 Looks wicked Al!

We're properly snowed in here too! I watched the neighbour try and dig his 2 cars out for about 4 hours before giving up! 'Told you so' I thought, as I sat smugly with my cup of hot chocolate! Think I'll wait until it melts a bit before I have a go!

(PS - If he was anything like a decent neighbour I'd have offered to help, but he's a complete c-unit, so walked the dog instead and checked up on my elderly neighbours the other side!)

Good work mate, there great fun in the snow .

[kiwifraser]

Nice buy Alex!! Looks really tidy

Rory and I are always up for finding some places to play.
I think a trip to http://www.4x4-withoutaclub.co.uk/ near Aldermaston (Course Map http://www.4x4-withoutaclub.co.uk/main/sitemap.jpg... should be on the cards sometime soon.

Found a foot of fresh snow today on an uphill slope - not a problem Pics of todays effort only a mile from home on a BOAT.

That looks a good 'un Al, I'll be up for a 4x4 play at the weekend...so far the Legacy has got me everywhere I've wanted to go. And has towed a 5 series out of a ditch

[Sods Law]

Nice Al, I like it!




The Clio has been out in the snow allot, and with 20PSI in the tyres is proving very capable,

[tuscan_al]

Yes bit of a random purchase, but I wanna do some touring around this summer and it means I can steal my mums caravan too!

Think the tuscan will stay to keep it company now too.

Already looking at lots of tuning bits and pieces. YEs up for a play at the weekend, where should we go

I have Bordon and the 4x4 slab common place on my doorstep, should be a fun summer.

kiwi, what tyres are you running?

I'm contemplating...
1 - sticking with the mess for the road, and getting some real mud stuff for the weekends
2 - finding some good all round tyres.

What to do?
