Project Discovery

[jim]

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

Looks like you have my mentality! hope 2 see you at Burnley so we can compare, my 1st time out with lift kit. Bet mine is more bodged that yours!

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

[jim]

Susy likes the Discovery and is looking forward to going for our first outing

[jim]

My old hybrid hopefully it will make an appearance soon with the new owner

who bought it Jim?

[jim]

Mark Platt bought it from Skipton. He said he was going to join a club but i have not seen his name appear anywhere yet.

Hi Jim, good to see you back, please pass on any tips to me as well, I may have had two discos and a couple of 90s but I just fail to learn anything Is the tent on the garden the new project bedroom, I think I would get kicked out if I started anthing at the mo.

Cheers Nick.

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

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. 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.
