Disco at play on sunday

Not Bad Hey!

Hi TonySLROC,

Great photo's! Hope to see you on the Landyrally.

Best regards,
Team "Land Rovers and wine"

Looks far too pretty for an off-roader - where are the battle scars?

Hi Tom,
If the driver is good there should be no battle scars. Not really its just that the picture is not a close up.

The truth will out, besides, it's not a real off-roader without a few dents and scrapes!

Looking at the photo again, it does make me laugh when folk spend a fortune on big fat, high tyres and wonder why they get more stuck than before. Landy/RR/Disco tyres are obviously meant to climb high into the wheel wells (like in the photo) whereas unless you undertake some serious bodywork modification, fat tyres foul the wheel arches and grind to a halt or high ones stop turning as they get wedged at the top of the wheel well.

Then, wouldn’t you know it, along comes an old bog-standard leaf-sprung Series Land Rover and clears the very same section the flash tyre merchant has just been towed out of. Sometimes it's best to leave well alone!

Hi Discophil,
Great piccies is that a disco or a mermaid? Those old defender and rangie boys can see how a proper land rover handles water and stuff (discos)

Oi! You're overstepping the mark now. RR RULES OK. These Disco pretenders are mere whippersnappers compared to the mighty Rangie.

I would back a RR (the Classic of course, there is no other model for off-roading) against a Disco any day of the week for all-around versatility, capability and styleability … your new word for the day. It’s not called a Classic for nothing!
