Have covered 4k in the Disco now since buying it.
Pleased to say, nothing has gone wrong with it and it's currently the most reliable car i've owned. So all you doom merchant's can go whistle! tongue out
Fuel mpg is taking a slight dip with the cold weather, but nothing major.

Off road "damage" from the other week has almost been sorted. Leaving the side step silver trim the now as have better things to buy and it doesn't affect how it works.
Have bought a few more things for it, currently trying to haggle out a deal on a brand new unused A frame. Also getting a fridge retro-fitted to it. Have a full size dog guard and boot liner to keep alfie's hairs from going everywhere.

Big bills ahead though as by April it will need, 5x tyres, service, mot repairs and insurance.

Plans are to make it look like this one.

Still need, roof rack, snorkel, rear ladder and A frame, (working on) oh and the roof lights as i have the A frame ones sitting waiting to be fitted.

Which will make it perfectly suited for it's drives into Glasgow and back. biggrin

When you say "drives into Glasgow"

Do you mean that rather than sit on the M8 in que's your just going to mow through the adjacent fields and hedges with all those lights on blinding the poor cows n rabbits!

OR is it to ensure the snow doesnt make you miss the nocturnal activities up Cathkin braes?

Either way like your stylethumbup

First option than second. Also to give the 400 yard flash a bit more gut's. hehe

What you and kenny get up to at the weekends is not my concern.. wink

Want to make it look a bit different, once it looks like that, i'll get some graphic's made up for it.
Already have my new design for how i want the wheels to be after getting refurbished.

Can you adapt it so that Alfie can drive it?

You also need a Yorkie dispenser in the front. Good idea to have fridge so you keep them from melting in the summer.

Also have to make it bit girl 'attractive'. Best take advice from some of them on here. So that all those woman who come flocking to you to meet Alfie may just notice you and the car too!
