I'm Bob and am a Geordie in exile in Brum. Came here 31 years ago and made it my home. Just picked up a 1998 Disco off a very good friend of mine for a song and the smile has not left my face since. Had Two Jeeps previously ( sorry) and both my sons have had 110's and one is currently running a 90. I've only had the disco 6 weeks and I've had to replace the rubber donut on the rear diff! I'm good with scanners fortunately! Just doing the sunroofs this weekend before they leak... I have always owned old motorbikes so I have loads of tools lol
