why the change? you will be cramped in a 90 after being in a disco, you do get used to it after a while though

Is it your only Car? I've voted for a 90 cos i've got one and love it but if you've a family and no other Car they are a tad small and your Wife will hate it as they are too high for lasses to get in without moaning and they don't like the noise.

voted for a 90
disco's are more costly to fix when you bend them plus 90 is more fun

Keep the disco :)

The 90 truck cab will be no good for a school run  :lol:

Why a T/cab?  They look good but are awfully impractical (although warm up quicker inside), a Van is more practical.

Seems a shame after the time and money you've spent on it.
Can you not get a truck cab series 3 for play time??

Get a 90 over a disco anyday for off road.

you'll have more fun and bend less panels in the process!

A truck cab is cool to drive and is well chuckable, but a hardtop is far more practical - your choice

Hmmm, not so sure! :wink:   You've got to be wanting to do some pretty extreme stuff to really 'use' the 90s advantages over a properly specced Discovery.

Don't get me wrong, I always wanted a 90, but now I am a Discovery convert.  I haven't found anywhere that I really want to go that I can't get to in the Discovery.

I like the fact that I can use it all day off road, then get back on the motorway on the way home and fly past 90 & 110 owners in comfort and can hear the radio.

Although I really like the look of a 90 - I'd still rather have my Discovery :D  Hence I voted "keep Gecko" :wink:

After how much fun we had over the weekend, I'd say keep him. :D

After all, you've already kitted it out and have a head full of plans for what to do next.

most time when we go out and there is a disco in the group there is normally always some damage to it, whether it be due to the overhangs or the barrel sides.

To spec up a disco to make it as versatile off road as a 90 you really have to chuck some serious £s at it.
