Once the water leaks start causing electrical problems they become shitboxes real fast.

I knew Jimmy when he lived in Richmond and wheeled a pink Scout. Was it a scout Jimmy? Anyway, I know he owned most of them.
edit, I think the scout was a friends now that I think about it. You already has the D2
Haha, yeah that was my friend’s Scout. Somehow he talked his parents into buying that for him as his first car. It leaked so much oil that he never changed it the whole time he owned it and just added oil every week.
This was around the time the brand completed its sterilization, transitioning from the muddy oval to the gloss ebony oval, from clever adventure ads to 4x4 CSPAN.

I actually have a full size dealership oval in both those designs. Pretty sure all that happened around 2010 when the LR4 came out. But your right about the oval changing. The new one has chrome around the letters. Chrome should never be on a Land Rover in my opinion.
No chrome? Why not? Then it can wear off unevenly so that the used ones look like trash and people only ever buy new and get rid of them after 5 years… or sooner.
Chrome shouldn’t be on a Land Rover. I don’t know why. Just like engines should point out the front, like God intended. Why he intended that I’m not really sure. But I accept it.
I remember. Trust me. Just like I remember that Saddle interior that got posted up this weekend. There’s shit you can’t un-see
The worst for me was dealers taking the 90s RRC 3 spoke wheels and getting them chromed. Usually on a black RRC.
While I am generally not fond of chrome.... Chrome TWR five-spokes on the 95 SWB look pretty sharp, better than silver ones.
... but every chrome-d 3-spoke I saw had bad and sharp chrome flakes all over the rim.
Came up in my Top Picks this morning.
"Priced to sale"
Especially if one could remove the Discovery Channel decal and sell it as well. No doubt some good parts on it though.
