You wouldn't believe it but a 6ft wide, 7ft tall discovery 1 in white is pretty invisible to most drivers. They also believe it goes quite slowly. Well it may be not too swift off the line in first, but once it's gained a bit of momentum, the diesel torque in second and above moves it quite swiftly.

They also don't belive a 109 Series 3 station wagon can do at least 30mph either

If you want to be truly invisible drive a white van. Had one hired for me from work for a week whilst I was belting around up up north installing equipment.
The amount of dicks who just don't register a LWB Vivaro bearing down on their drivers door accompanied by the sound of squealing rubber...

We won't talk about the peds either
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner

Jules - you'd probably be better off starting a new thread in the "Wanted" section, rather than tacking this request on to someone else's Rover thread, especially when the OP last visited the forum over 2 years ago. Have you contacted MG Mal, as per his post on the first page?

Cheers :D
