Hiya folks, since I’m new here I thought it would only be right to give a little insight into how iv come to be part of the 4x4/Overland world.
My weapon of choice is a 1994 series 1, 3 door Land Rover Discovery. It was bought on a whim really when my previous car was written off by a lovely young lady who was putting her makeup on while driving to work!!..:(
Always wanted one so it was the ideal chance to have a go. After searching the various 4x4 pages of Facebook I found a good solid red (well more pink as the paint had faded that much) Discovery 1, needed a lot of work but that’s exactly what I wanted.. a project!.

The 2.5 litres of the 300tdi engine had carried this jalopy a grand total of 164,000 mikes when I picked it up, everything still worked as it should and the engine purred like a 2 week old kitten..
So money was paid and off I drove in my new smoker full of ideas and plans of what to do first to bring it a bit more up to date.
More to come later when I get another 5 minutes spare![Yum :yum: :yum:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
