: disco owners suck
roverhybrids 07-29-2002, 07:00 PM I just went down to NAPA auto parts to get something when I see a newish disco II in the parking lot and just one customer in the store. I say "hi, is that your disco?"
he looks at me puzzled and pauses for almost a minute before he realizes that he drives a disco.
I then say "ah that must be your first land rover"
he says yes and we both proceed with our business.
I should have known better..............
WBDISCO 07-30-2002, 07:53 AM I know the feeling. But I own a Disco. The reaction i usually get is that they just sit a gawk:smokin: Gone were the days when people waved at each other driving down the road. Now the only people that wave are the D90 crew and the special elite Disco owners:flipoff2:
Greg Davis 07-30-2002, 08:19 AM Easy there. We're not all like that. Some folks just don't have a clue about what they drive.
One of my old bosses purchased a really nice new BMW 325i Convertible. When I asked him about the car, he didn't even know how many damned cylinders the engine had!:rolleyes:
Just goes to show that some people just pay their money and drive with no interest in the vehicle other than driving it from point A to point B.
RVR OVR 07-30-2002, 08:36 AM The poor bastard just wasn't hip to the nick-name. The second you said disco, his mind probably filled with hot steamy thoughts of John Travolta getting all nasty on the dance floor. Don't hate him for that!

Sorry greg!
unissamog 07-30-2002, 08:53 AM I will agree about "most" disco owners.( I know there are good ones out there) I was amazed the other day to see a nice looking disco (roofrack, lights, ARB, winch, snorkel, and LIMB RISERS!!) pull into the parking lot I was in. I followed them to their parking place, and introduced myself. I asked them where the wheeled their truck, and he said he had never had it offroad......in the 4 years he owned it. He just had the dealer install all the stuff because he wanted the look.
He then looks over at my Rangie and says "I hope you didn't pay too much for yours, it looks like someone beat it up"
That is where I turned around and walked away.

This is all your fault Greg. If it wasn't for you I would have known as soon as I saw the guy with the gold hoop earring and jean shorts from 1989 that he wasn't cool.
PTSchram 07-30-2002, 10:12 AM I recently returned from yet another business trip to Detroit where Rovers are fairly common. I had one Range Rover driver wave at me and from his facial expression, he did not make the connection! None of the others did.
I was downtown stopped for a light and two of Detroit's finest came up and asked about the truck (I thought for sure the cute littel cop chickie was going to say "Take me with you"-damn!). They were really cool. When I explained what the limb risers were for, their response was "You don't live in Detroit, do you?".
Back home in Indiana, The Disco owners never wave at me, but the other day, I pulled up behind a fellow in a NBS Rangie and flashed my lights. Surprisingly, he waved.
Some folks get it, some don't.

Greg Davis 07-30-2002, 10:48 AM Damn, now you're raggin' on the style shorts I wear. I just can't win with this group!:flipoff2:

Sounds like that could've happened in Denver. There are at least 25 rovers in my neighborhood, (just a few blocks) and I have NEVER even seen one dirty. Last time we got muddy, my wife wouldn't let me wash Reggie for a week so she wouldn't look like the "joneses"

In Chicago, you're more likely to find D90's with the 'look'.
When you take into account the numbers sold in the USA, I bet a higher percentage of D90's never venture off pavement then either RRC's or Disco 1's.
So, I guess D90 owners suck, too - so there :flipoff2:

RockRover 07-30-2002, 02:39 PM No no no...By far the suckiest of the suckiee's are Disco owners...Best suckiee's x suckiee's x FAR.
Defender owners are just poseurs pretending not to suck, but actually do (but try not to show it).
Rangie owners suck continuously...That's why they bought a Rangie in the first place.
Freelander owners? Well...They're just gay.
Series owners? Who would EVER want to suck a Series owner..Er, I mean, who would ever want to BE a Series owner...So I guess they suck too.
Face fact's guy's and gals'...Rover owners suck period!

Discosaurus 07-30-2002, 02:48 PM Everybody around here is afraid to talk to me because of the RockRover inspired bullet hole decals stuck to the dents on my rig so I never know just HOW much I suck as a Disco owner...

My neighbors probably hate me. I live in a Townhome and my truck is never clean. Usually have mud clumps laying in the driveway. And the wifes Rangie is usually clean, but it leaves oil stains everywhere.
I love it!

This summer I took my son to soccer practice in the rangie (without cleaning it from the last trip), and proceeded to park it on the street with three other rovers, 2nd style rangie (immaculate), a 95 classic (again immaculate), and a disco with the "look". Within 20 minutes, they had moved there trucks!!!!
That was a proud moment for me....

Leafsprung 08-01-2002, 02:30 PM Hehehehe, If I had a nickel for every time I waved at a defender and got no response, I could buy one. I get more thumbs up from honda owners than discos . . . . And rangie owners, dont get me started. Series drivers always wave dont they? now if only there were another one in Indiana to wave at . . . .:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:
