Its another newbie!

Hi,

I'm Dan (obviously), 22 and from Gosport in Hampshire (though at the moment I also sort of live in Crediton, Devon).

I currently drive a Rover 220 Coupe Turbo, which, whilst being a superb car, unfortunately only averages 15mpg (its been played with), which is bad. Also, its pretty hard to squeeze a bunch of servers and screens into it as well.

With that in mind, I'm selling it (which is quite sad) and am looking to get a Discovery TDi, for around 2K.

I know its a pitiful budget, and as far as I can see I'm looking at a very early 200TDi. So if anybody see's any absolute bargains knocking around, let me know

Welcome Dan, but hey, you've hardly inspired anyone here to part with thier hard earned for the Rover!

MAN, that's thirsty!

Lol, I didn't figure anybody here would be in the market for one (no offence)... It is thirsty. Scary quick though

Just so you can all see just what a change a Disco will be for me, this is my current Rover...

Couldn't really be further from a landie really. For instance I have no doubt about a landies ability to scale that due in the pic - the rover on the other hand would barely make it up the kerb

And it'd probably break down when it got there anyway

Hmmm, even a landy might have trouble scaling the wall/fence in front of the dune!

I've gone from the sublime to the ridiculous too. Mini 40 - Last of the "proper" Minis. Tiny, quick & totally impractical for some/most things, to an 84' Series III - Huge, slow & totally impractical for other things.......wouldn't change it for the world!

Mini's still for sale too...........offers anyone?

Best of luck with your Disco' search.

Best,
Marcus.

welcome mate
