come to my attention that a few folks on here are restricted in their off-road antics by their partners! will freely hold my hand up and say i`m one, but its ok, cos if she didnt i`d be sat with a john deere on the drive, with no fuel in the tank! lol

...so go-on, who else is gunna admit it?!  :lol:

Strictly the Disco is 'hers', so modifications are limited to ONLY when something brakes you can improve it.....

Lots of things 'break'  :twisted:

You forgot the option of:
Just rolls her eyes and says "You haven't broken it *again*???!"

I don't have a problem with off roading..... as long as I don't take her Freelander and scratch it......... again  8-[

The physical scars are fading, Tim, but the mental torture continues unabated  :lol:

It was a sad sight.... I was out there with the rubbing compound the moment we got home! Still, you can sort of sympathise with Sarah, she had only bought it 3 days before I scratched in on the Peddars Way  :twisted: That one was bright red. The one she traded it in for last Sunday is black..... now *that* will show the scratches  :D

Yeah- I wanted to go to Avon Dasset last Sunday but got talked out out it to go Xmas shopping instead! SWMBO is usually okay with my 4x4 antics though- didn't even complain when the car was raised 6" higher- though she does wonder where the side steps went......

Mine does't mind too much - she just doesn't really understand the fascination with the old thing.  Thinks my time spent in the drive would be better spent decorating or something though.


And she does have an aversion to 'Bits' in the house - shame she was in hospital when the paras and shocks arrived (weeelll...they were only in the living room for a week or so. )

Doesn't see how I can spend so long on Mud-Club either!!
