Run... run now as fast as you can and don't look back :shock:

Once you have owned a Rover they get in your blood, and things change... :D

Jason's right. Get out before it's too late!
Only 2 short years ago, I'd never even sat in a LandRover. Now I own 3, and want more.
Help!!

No chance of getting a diesel Disco for 5-7k.
Unless you want to spend another 5-7k fixing it!

Maybe a V8 Rangie on gas, 80's model.
