Reliable is boring....

So I bought a Land Rover.






I've flirted with the Discovery for years now, I've always liked them but never taken the plunge. I sold my FJ80 Land Cruiser about a year ago and have regretted it ever since, especially the multiple times I had to get a push last winter. While Land Cruiser shopping I stumbled upon this locally and couldn't resist. It's a 1997 Discovery I LSE, 105k, lots of maintenance done by the previous owner (A&P mechanic and engineering student). Oversize MTR tires and newer Bilsteins, otherwise it's stock. I've had it about a month but haven't been on here much to post about it, frankly I like it more than the Land Cruiser. It has a lot more character and is nicer to drive, and seems to be relatively simple and easy to DIY. The 996 has spent a lot more time in the garage recently, I just really enjoy driving it. We'll see if this turns into another costly addiction.....
