Re: New car

My beemer stereo was top notch too, paid for the top version and worth every penny.

See, that's the problem with all the new LR's, the fronts all look the same and the backs all look like an afterthought.
Who the hell wants a sloping roof on a Disco? They're supposed to be "boxy" IMO.

Lol..I think I ruled that option out on the strength that I wouldn't have room on my fishing barrow.
