Good luck with it and I hope you will keep us updated on your restoration

Thats what I got - a Discovery.

One of the bad things about driving a Discovery into Washington DC is that the Discovery is 6'8" tall and the majority of parking garages are only 6'6"

Ouch! I know what you are talking about - watching the roof go past the first sun roof, scares you for the second sun roof! Its higher!

Then you start to wonder if you should get out, and drop your tire pressures a little, giving yourself a few extra inches clearance.

I'm still looking. I've owned 6 SAAB's so far, and I have a ton of pics of those though - but can't find my LR pics. I have some, but not very clear. Here is one SAAB I bought my wife for example (I've got her 3 convertibles so far, but now she drives my sedan? I don't get it??!!!). Anyway, this SAAB was pretty peppy. Its an SE model. Had a decent 205 HP.

I have since sold this one however. I only have one SAAB at the moment - a 93 Aero. I usually keep two on hand.

I'm finding all sorts of cool pics. Here is a place that you can only get to by 4x4 - great place to unload the AR! Yes, that is me.

Same area as above!

This is the best pic I can find of my Discovery at the moment. You can at least see my cow catcher (brush guard) on the front.

d@rk51d3 · 08-22-08, 10:12 PM

Those pics reminded me, I just watched "Deliverance" for the first time the other night.

Man, I wanna go camping soon.

Great vehicle. When I lived and hunted in south florida I bought an old Ramcharger that was a retired fish and game vehicle. I would take to an area called the yucapans. The locals who hunted the area were territorial and I was told not to ever bring a shiny new vehicle there. The locals if they found such a vehicle would trash it and the hunter would return to have a demolished 4X on his hands. So having a fish and game vehicle qworked out well, because they may have thought twice about doing something like that. I loved hunting hogs in florida and hope oneday to do it again. The only draw back is that I learned that red ants can swim. Ouch!

Red Ants swim? no way! I figured they'd make a chain out to something for workers, but swimming and controlling their direction?

Swimming may not be the correct term. But whether they float or make chains it "macht nichts". Just be wary if you ever go hunting in a swampy area in the south. I was ignorant of this until they lit me up.
