desertdude Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi there, Dude of the desert with you. Been a landrover nut ever since I bought one not so long ago, somewhere in 2005. Have had five land rovers since then. First one was a Disco 96 FXI. OME lift, custom fabbed front bumper, Shaheen sand service tyres Second one was another 96 Autobiography loaded to the teeth, factory fitted screens in the head rest, a TV tuner and a VHS player ! Yes folks DVD's wern't around then back then and VHS was the bomb, and with enough wood inside to put a Amazonian forest to shame. Sadly on a few pics remain and this is the only one I can find now Then next came an Epson Green 1998, which was alright but really didn't like it that much because of the exterior and interior colour ( gray ! A range only looks good in light beige on the inside IMO ) Then I got hold of an absolute beauty. A 1999 ( but still a gems motors ) 50th anniversy edition with only original 45k on the odo. The car was bought here and then taken over to the UK as the person who bought it moved there and took the car with him. It stayed there till 2007 or something and then he came back here and brought it back here ( car had full service history from the dealers in London, driven less than a 5000 kms per year ! ). Then he retired and left so basically got rid of it and I bought it for a song ! The best P38A I've ever driven ! This was the car I wanted to be buried in !!! But unfortunately the credit crunch, crunched a little hard on me and I was absolutely left with no choice then to sell it. My heart still aches to this day when I think about it Unfortunately just a few pics remain, this was on the day I got it. Obvious to say I got rid of the nasty 16" alloys instantly and replaced them with 2008 RRS alloys Currently my only car at the moment Big Red a 1998 Discovery. My true companion through thick and thin. Its got over 300,000kms on the clock and most of them I've put on it and it still purrs like a baby Been all over the country with this on and offroad. Love the thing to bits. Its got a 2 inch lift with britpart coils ( have lasted and performed much better than old mans to my surprise ) Stock shocks. Trimmed front bumper. Camel cut to the rear wheel wells to fit the 275/70 R16 Michelin LTX's Poser pic Some action shots Al Wagan Landie leading a group of lost sheep ( Jeeps ) In Al Faqa Chilling on top of a ridge in Sweihan The calm before the storm Some sideways action Relaxing after a good day of wheelin' More relaxation in Liwa The day I got big red, bog standard with tricycle traning wheels on it and sitting lower than a Ferrari So here is my story. Whats yours ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutbolt Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi Doc, welcome to Landy Dubai. Nice to hear about your Land Rover collection and plan. Why not choose defender for rally. Or you planning engine swap in that Disco 1. Still manual gear will be tough nut to crack here in Dubai. Anyways Good luck for rally, post some pics of prep and rally here. Im excited.

CelticNomad Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi all Big G here, been into The Green Oval for years, think i am up to number nine now, in the past I have owned three Freelanders, one of such was the most modified in the UK at the time, look up Xtremelander on you tide, a P38A Rangy and five Discovery's ranging form a 91 three door to my present one an MY04 Disco. In the process of modifying the latest one and hand carried the light bar back from the UK, airport staff thought i was nuts!
