buying a disco
tjsj:
I'm only 15 am on my 7th car that obviously only use off road, but managed to get hold of a 200tdi disco on a g-reg about 7 months ago for 650 quid which had no mot or tax and needed the boot floor doing. It had 235/85 machos on it with a 3 inch procomp lift and it was amazing at how much better it was offroading than my last 4x4, a 1.3 sammy. Would never go back and am thinking of converting it into a pick up now.

Hi guys thanks for all the help its been very useful guess i need to start doing some work on the suzukis ready to fund the next project thanks again i dont think it will be the last you have heard me

If the V8's can wade like the TDI's (based on RedLineMikes reply) then your only issue may be fuel costs.
What about a V8 on LPG - if you not to worried about the boot space, you could have it fitted there which will help with off-roading clearance.
40p/litre for LPG is what i'm paying (we have two 3.9 V8's) and shares in all the major oil companies :lol: :lol:
just an idea

Hi gary i would love the V8 as iam a bit of a petrol head :twisted: but i think my insurance company would love me more than the wife :shock: iam only 25 and live in coventry
Ogbyte:
hehe :lol: I think the v8's are ins. group 14/15 but it's well worth shopping around for, especially if you can get a limited use policy.
IIRC at your age or there about's was when i insured my first car (i'd previously been a named driver on my dad's insurance) I'd just bought a 1983 3door RRC and my first years premium was £1024 :shock:
when i hit 25 it dropped quite a bit.
worth trying some of the insurance places that advertise in LRO you might be surprised :D or :shock:
regards
Gary
