Because Discoverys are rubbish!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

It was funny afterwards but i have never been in a car that rolled and its definitely a bit nerve racking when they go over. I dont think i would mind so much in the SJ as theyre so light, but having a 2.5 diesel land on you makes a worrying noise!

Had loads of quotes to get it recovered at no less than £120 for 28 miles, so took the yorkshire approach, kickout out the windscreen, strapped the doors shut, gave my mate a scarf gloves and goggles and drove it home on 3 33"s and one 255, fun times!
