Hey fella's, ease up on the LR they don't deserve that much knocking!
JGC is my car of choice and is one of the 2 best cars I've owned, the other....a beloved 2000 S2 Disco TD5, fantastic car that never once let me down. Used to regularly tow a massive boat in those days in 40 plus heat, plus o/r adventures in the high country, never a whimper, no add-on crap like ancillary tranny coolers needed. Stupidly let it go in '06 when the boat sold. Even more stupidly I bought a Territory later on when we got into caravanning. The GC saved me from that thing, but will admit I was looking for a LR until this little gem came up and I've loved it ever since.
Would love to have the old Disco parked alongside the GC in my garage today! (what a nice pair, as they say in the classics..)
Definitely no commission from either Jeep or JLR
