She bought a 1994 (or 96.. maybe..) Land Rover Disco, to haul the kids (4 of them) around essentially. Went over to landroversonly.com and found out some of the basics on it. Because she lives out in Concord closer to Uwharrie and wants to take it on the trails in April (after hearing about my Uwharrie trips...). Now that last thing I need is her breaking stuff on it going 4 wheeling, I will get the blame from the family for "influencing her" into wanting to take it 4 wheeling... even though it was an idea she came up with all on here own. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Don't volunteer to go lookin' for parts for that thing. Could get ugly. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
Happy Birthday BTW!

Happy Birthday. Keep her on the easy trails and she will be ok and still have fun.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Happy Birthday Eli! Definitely don't want to price parts for it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> You think Monty OE parts are high <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

Happy Birthday Eli. May I apologize on behalf of my country for that vehicle <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Definitely don't want to price parts for it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> You think Monty OE parts are high <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> Are the part prices that bad? Wow! My wife would love one but I'm not keen...

The electronics are the achiles heel IIRC. My brother-in-law is a trained mechanic from Scotland who STRONGLY advised me against getting an LR. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I hope he's wrong and your sister's runs better than expected. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
