Lee_D vaguely muttered something like ...

A soft-top Series 3 with a 300 Tdi engine. I _do_ like the feel of the engine off-road, and it still has enough torque & power for my towing needs on-road.

Failing that ... another Disco 300 Tdi but one solely for the road, so I can 'play' with this one a bit .. ;)

30 minutes with blond student in Number 7 ;-)

This 'mother' has a magnetic one on the fridge in the back of Grumble.

I'd throw blag in too then (Fedora Core 1 based).

- there were some issues with autoupdate a while back, but should be fixed. This is a complete distro that'll run off the CD - type blagblagblag from the command line and it'll install on the hard drive.

A series 1 80"! *lust*

I almost sold my Defender a while back to raise the cash for an 80", but decided that it's just too damned useful to be without even though I no longer use it as an everyday car.

My! The images that brings to mind!

hopefully my disco will be legal again tomorrow. Yesterday evening the chap up the garage said, when I said "when can I bring it back in", "tommorow". Go up there today, "nah, can't do it." buggrit. so it's booked for 10:30 tomorrow. Probably all he'll do is look at the stuff that needed fixing and do the emission test, too.

posh bint on chanel #5's lame top gear-a-like.

30 minutes?!!!

I take it you've found the scanner then?

When it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night....

There's a very nice one called 'Lucy' near where we live, it's gorgeous and it's used off-road too,, by the looks of it .. ;)

Now we've lived with a S3 and sold it for the Disco, we wouldn't ever make the mistake of being without a Landrover of whatever flavour .. even if we just kept it in a shed for high days etc ;)

So Steve Taylor was, like

Age 20-40: Tri-weekly Age 40-60: Try, weekly Age 60-80: Try, weakly

I'm a bit worried about his spelling of "blond", though :-)

/me steals your distributor cap and key for the fuel cap.

Job done.

Next?

Eh? I was including the foreplay and shower afterwards...

We were talking about him only t'other day. His phone may ring in the not too distant future...

Well for my 94 Disco 300TDi I want...

o Servicing kit from Difflock, plus all the bits for the service including those nifty sump plugs. o Some nice Spotlights... o Rear light guards o All the bits to convert the upper rear lights to be repeaters of the indicators and running lights o New rear bumper o Dog guard o Roller-blind-style loadspace cover o Full loadspace liner o A new paint job o A new inner off-side wing o Covert strobe lamps for the front headlights and rear light pod o "Winker" unit for the spotlights o Wheelan DashKing o New 2-way radio and bits o Two-tone air siren o Overdrive

Need I go on? And that's before anything goes wrong. Oh, and I have a feeling I need to start saving for a new gearbox, since mine has a tendency to be very awkward and noisy getting into second and sometimes

3rd.

On the list of things I can't buy:

o Endless supply of round tuits o Snow o A job in Wales/the opportunity to leave my miserable-but-well-paid job and join the Ambulance service

Hope Santa brings you all something nice.

Cheers, Aled.

I take it you mean you want HID xenon lamps?

I guess you might legally be able to do this by putting the latest type of front end on it...

however, IIRC, it's only legal in this country to fit HID lamps to something with automatic headlamp levelling.

They are cute, though, and if I had the money I'd like some for the cuteness-value.

however, more practically...

6" Ring Rally Giant are the current best-value in spotlamps, IMHO. mine cost about 30 quid a pair, with bulbs ("only" 55W, mind, but they're plenty bright enough if fed from a proper supply). and they look good on the disco, too. proper steel lamp casings, an' all.
