    No real surprises here. Landies were born for this. I used to trial them with my Dad. We put a fabulous Rover V8 into a LightWeight chassis that we bought from the RAF. What a hoot that car was!! We were also lucky enough to be invited to a Camel Trophy day with Land Rover. The places those cars got to was just astounding. You should get some decent tyres on Big Pete. Roll cage. Remove the bumpers and other bodywork extras and do some competition offroad trialing with him. Could be a good 2024 series!

    I owned a 2007 Discovery 3 many years ago and loved it. Best city car ever, auto, unkerbable wheels, better turning circle than most superminis, easy to park, and no one would ever park next to me. When off-road though it was unbeatable, I actually won a drag race with a Subaru Impreza WRX on a wet field uphill. Problem was it got old and couldn’t stop needing new parts, although never failed to get me and the family home.

    It's fascinating that Alex has no tolerance for repairs on a lot of cars but will sink endless sums into these garbage BMWs. I had an '11 335is (North American market only) for 6 years (75k miles at the end and absolutely immaculate) before it was knocked off a tow truck and written off. That is the only car I've ever owned that wanted to car the least. It much preferred to strand me or sit in the garage for endless and ridiculous problems.

      It's the sunk cost fallacy, makes it hard to move vehicles on when you've spent so much on them already. I also think that (when working) the disco is a great camera car and there aren't many others that provide the same level of flexible space for filming.

They might need looking after but they do lots of jobs really well, when many cars only do one or two.
