Wrecked my Disco.

[Bannon88]

I wrecked my '98 Disco Friday night. I was driving down a rural road, when I hit a deer and I think in the process of swerving after impact I went into a 2ft ditch. Which sent me rolling.

I was wearing a sealtbelt and after crawling out of the passenger side I only had a cut on the forehead and a sore shoulder.

LR makes one tough ass vehicle, I'm lucky to be alive.

Chalk up yet another person I know of who's survived a roll-over in a Disco. Glad you're all right.

When the insurance company is done, give me a call and let me know how much you want for the remaining salvage.

Wow...

 

[bovw]

Holy shit, glad you're OK Brian, that's what matters most.

 

[Slappy]

That sucks! Glad you're ok!

 

[champana]

I've done something similar.... after many-a-newcastle.... Glad you're alright. I was too. The disco is a life saver for sure. Look at that ladder though.... untouched! wow.

I was thinking about keeping the offroad parts and lift kit, etc,

I'll talk to insurance tomorrow.

My homemade bumpers have hardly a scratch. The passenger side around the headlight is the point of impact with hind quarter of deer, hair embedded in hood gap.

that is great that you came out ok. i can't help but look at those pictures with the initial reaction of a jaw drop that slowly creeps into a smile. had you been driving something of lesser quality you easily could have died.

good thing you drove a land rover.

i just posted those pics on my local board, people can talk shit on land rovers if they want...but their jeep wrangler isnt gonna have the same outcome like you did.

 

[Ol'Drippy]

Glad you're alright man.. Can't wait until I have a daily driver Disco again.. those things are like tanks.

 

[RRCNicky]

Glad to hear you came out alright!

Yeah - ask about buying back your truck from the insurance company for sure - should be able to get it pretty cheap and the parts will come in handy on your next truck or make you some money parting it out...

 

[rover4x4]

sorry to hear about your loss, good looking truck suprising at how well these things hold up.

damn

 

[Skaramunga]

yer disco got a flat top man. bummer tho.

right after that deer thread too, odd?

 

[stolenheron]

you see other cars in a roll over and you see a huge streak of parts all across the road and wreck site....his landrover still has just about every part on it that occured just prior to the wreck

 

[Steve Rupp]

that thing is fucked up. nice work.

 

[slangel]

Brian, that sucks! Glad you are ok and that you weren't hurt worse.

 

[montanablur]

Yeah, nice work...

 

[Nomar]

Sheeeiit!

Glad you're ok. That was a nasty looking crash.

How's the venison?

Don't know.......a buddy of mine looked for a few hours on Sat. Hardly any blood, heavily wooded, those bastards are just too tough.
