Project Discovery

Postby jim » Tue Aug 18, 2009 9:02 pm

I have finished my college course now, changed job and have started preparing a 3 door Discovery for green laning and trialing. The S1 hybrid sold back in January due to requiring a Discovery for Alex, Henry and Susy. I have carried out some mods to the Discovery and will upload some photos.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

Cheers Jim :lol:

I had a S1 hybrid, but it wasn't suitable for the family and camping so i decided to go for the Disco. I have two young offroaders to entertain now :lol:

Hi Nick

The tent is my new residence due to the recession and it's the only peaceful place to be along with the garage. Tips: don't fall over because there is a chance you may break your ankle. Driving tips: Two twelve packs of pure genious and half a cow the night before a trial and don't watch me its more luck rather than judgement :lol:

I took the Discovery for MOT today and it failed on the rear flexi brake hose which i changed and now it has a new test certificate. :lol: It is the first time i have driven it on the road since i bought it and the engine and transmission are good. Looking forward to using it in the near future, but i will have to wait until October before taxing it. :(
