    Running two gearboxes

    Just a thought, has any one thought about running a landie with two gearboxes fitted in line? The ratios for crawling would be awesome, I know the Yanks have done it but I cant find any landies, what are your thoughts?

    LRO Magazine and P38

    I agree with the too many adverts comment, and they all definately need more articles on landrovers other than series/defenders. Dont get me wrong I'd love a Defender but the other landrovers seem completely overshadowed by them when it comes to the magazines.

    Camo paint for disco?

    Hi guys my paints starting to look tatty, and I've been thinking about, gettin my self an air brush and doing a camoflage paint job on my Disco. I've never seen a Disco in anything other than factory paint, so what do you guys think? At least if i damage the camo i can just repaint to cover it.
