Author Message   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:14 am:    Who's seen Discoweb stickers around town? I posted this up at EE a while back, but am still interested to see who's seen 'em. We all know that you see your own stickers every day, so don't count your own! (And if you don't see a Discoweb sticker on your own Disco every day, please take a moment and ask yourself why there isn't a Discoweb sticker on your rig.)   Horness Spencer (Horness) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 07:14 am:    The ONLY DW stickers I see are on my Disco, and one on my PC at work. Not seen any others here in the UK (Midlands). Still looking though. Breaking News! I did have a fellow Disco driver (in a Silver 96/97 ES) return a wave over the weekend! Also had a nod from a D90 on Sunday too. HRNESS   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 07:40 am:    I have been looking for them here in Charlotte. Nothing yet. There must be a trend starting Horness. I have had a couple return waves here too.   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 09:45 am:    Most of the Disco's I see in the Philly area are "stickerless" and the hot blonde in the blue DII did not wave back. : (   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 10:09 am:    paul, perhaps you gift that hot blond with a set of discoweb stickers?   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 10:49 am:    Good call. I just have to figure out the logistics of presenting the sticker while driving down I-95. She might freak out when she sees me roll in fighter style!   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 10:57 am:    hey paul if you need a 'wing man' just let me know. i have been successful in the past in my own twisted and freakish ways......just ask bluegil.....he will vouch for me. bucks county woman are not as tough as they seem.....   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 11:50 am:    We definatley need to get together for some 'ops'. I am always looking for a new place to strike!   M. K. Watson (Lrover94) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 11:57 am:    the only place i have seen one is on my Disco in the driveway and on my riding mower!   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 12:24 pm:    yeah i will let you know next time i am down there for some 'recon'. i usually frequent the city more often in the summer......great shows happening down there during the warmer months. actually heading there tomorrow for the day for business, but no time to play. i will give you a heads up next time for sure.   Joanna (Joanna) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 12:49 pm:    Horness, what are you doing that others are waving back? Usually here, they are too busy on their cell phones to even look over. No eye contact or anything! I drove to Virginia Beach to visit my folks this weekend, tried to wave at other disco owners, no luck. I think they think I'm crazy. Meanwhile, my fiance trails behind me in his j**p (we took both so we could take some furniture back), and every other j**per we pass honks and waves, I mean hanging half way out the side of their j**ps! Oh, well, I'll just keep on trying.   Glenn Guinto (Glenn) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 12:59 pm:    I saw one at work today....   Heather Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:13 pm:    I've tried waving too and just like Joanna said they usually arent paying attention, however tons of j**p owners have no problem waving...   Glenn Guinto (Glenn) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:16 pm:    Check this out, this might help answer your questions about the jeep wave thingy [courtesy of my jeeper cousin]... http://dirtroad.com/jeepwave/ glenn   Joanna (Joanna) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:19 pm:    God, I already got a tutorial on that...trust me. It has been drilled into me that when I am driving that j**p (I try to have mine last one in the driveway, but in the offchance that he gets home after me, there are times I say F*** it and drive his to the store LOL LOL), I must wave to every single j**p out there. Why couldn't he have just gotten a D90? LOL   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:46 pm:    The real issue is the area we live in.. People here buy rovers so that they seem important and hope that people will envy them as it sits in the drive.. I wave, but, rarely do I get a wave back.. I have yet to have anybody driving a new Range Rover or a Defender wave back.. SO far only a few Discos and almost all the Rangie clasics wave back.. I have only passed one Series and he about waved his hand off at me..   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:46 pm:    whoa.....kinda trippy. but do you have a dweb credit card?? keeps coming out of my damn banking account though!!   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:47 pm:    Of course I started to wave at any modded 4x4 now but, most the time I get the single finger wave back.. People with Jeeps are real good at that..   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:52 pm:    ps: damn i am glad you cannot see what i have minimized!!! whew.   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 01:57 pm:    ha, dude you shouldn't surf gay porn at work there GP..   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:08 pm:    Hmmm..... -L   John C. Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:10 pm:    Do I see www.voyeurweb.com minimized on Garrett's PC? All the taxi cab drivers wave at me...especially when I cut them off...   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:24 pm:    Hey John, On March 2nd, a very rainy Saturday night; a middleastern Philly Cab guy tried to pass me on the left while I was driving on a one lane street. The left wing of my LR Plastic bumper left a black mark from his head light to the tail light. All I had was yellow paint residue on the bumper. I didn't get the chance to wave. However, I verbally communicated with him eye to eye. If I had a sticker on me, I would have gladly applied it to the cab!   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:26 pm:    no and no. i mean leslie has the setup for that kinda of surfing. kinda like surround sound/3D porn environment. i mean he is the real sick-o here. it's pretty obvious to me.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:29 pm:    Problem is, I can't find any of babes in Rovers.... -L   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:31 pm:    ya, I'm looking at three monitors right now.. Big one right in front of me, smaller one to the left, and a SUN monitor to the right... Good thing that I got a big desk.. The real fun is when the help desk folks come around and try to figure out which keyboard/mouse is for which PC..   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:36 pm:    1 keyboard, 1 mouse, 2 monitors.... It acts like one big screen, just split into 2 halves... Hmmm..... wonder if I could find a spare 3rd monitor around here somewhere.... hmmm...... -L   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 02:38 pm:    oh, mine are all hooked up to different PCs   Glenn Guinto (Glenn) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 03:39 pm:    Hey look, my laptop is inside garrett's Monitor!!! How cool is that? Hey gp, I think I see adopt-a-swedishblonde.com minimized in there... lol -glenn   Glenn Guinto (Glenn) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 03:41 pm:    Oh man... and Leslie's monitor has garrett's and mine inside!!! -glenn   Phillip Perkinson (R0ver4x4) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 03:43 pm:    Is it allowable to put a DISCOWED sticker on 4wds other than Rovers??   John C. Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 03:48 pm:    YES. it's a must...   Phillip Perkinson (R0ver4x4) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 03:51 pm:    okay I was just wondering I dont wanna be a posuer..although a ROver is in the future perhaps a series   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 04:01 pm:    yeah glen i am still trying to work that idea. maybe a study abroad program. hopefully it will work out. actually it was flashyourrack.com just a great overall site.   KJ Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 04:05 pm:    gp, did you mean Hannible or Adventure? Hmmmmmm???? Karen   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 04:10 pm:    hehe. actually i have a wilderness rack with some nice hella 2000's up there. you can see them on my profile!!! really i am a normal guy......it's just my friends that are sick and twisted. oh yeah.....and the other guys on dweb. me....i am a total stand up kinda guy. ps: i didn't think the ladies were monitoring this thread. damn you guys are good.   JC Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 05:45 pm:    I haven't seen any in Charlotte, other then the ones on my truck. I'll have to be on the lookout for Ken though since he's in the area.   Paul Long Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 07:16 pm:    Craig, I just saw some stickers today! Now this flipped me out. gp just posted trail pics of Canadensis PA and up it came on the home page. Thats my back yard in those pics!! Now I have yet to see another Rover in this county, than alone having a sticker on it. Talk about small world... I gotta get my nose off this screen and out my window!   KJ Posted on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 11:37 pm:    gp, We're everywhere......and we're taking notes. Karen   mod 12 Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 12:04 am:    I try to wave at every Rover I see and actually had a Range Rover driver wave to me first right after I got my new Disco. I've been so used to waving at other Harley's while riding, it was natural to wave at Disco's. I live in the Seattle area and there seems to be a few Land Rover here.   Jeremy Katka (Jkatka) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 12:45 am:    mod 12, what part of Seattle where you hanging out in? I am up in North Seattle and have a willow green DI w/ a discoweb sticker on the rear window. I haven't gone sticker crazy as of yet though the rest of them beg to be placed all over Jeremy Katka   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 08:12 am:    yep paul we were just up with on a R.O.V.E.R.S. event at a hunting camp on 1500 acres that a memeber is part owner of. i use to live up in analomink years ago and am familiar with that area. but there were about 30-40 rovers up there last weekend. you would have not likely seen us unless you were hanging out at Calico's diner in Canadensis. check out the club website for future events at http://www.roversclub.com or better yet get a membership by getting in touch with Bill B. here on the board. ps: be careful what you eat at Calico's. i think 7 of us got sick there. ewwww.   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 12:02 pm:    here too jc   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:16 am:      gp (Garrett) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 08:25 am:    damn. and i thought i parked close to my truck. it's about 40' out my window.   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:43 am:    i know, right there!   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 11:31 pm:    Spotted! Green Disco I headed north on CA Hwy-1, Discoweb sticker on thr rear window, top-right of the spare tire. I honked and got a look, but I didn't know if he saw me wave. To whomever was the driver of that Disco, I'm sorry if I startled you!   KJ Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 01:43 pm:    I'm a little concerned...I just saw Judy H's new Freelander in the gallery, but I didn't see any DiscoWeb stickers. Axel, did I miss them???? Karen ;) P.S. Damn it's cute in red, congrats!   Phillip Perkinson (R0ver4x4) Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 02:01 pm:    I wish has some money so I could git me som dim stickers It wud be nice   Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 04:12 pm:    Karen: Those pictures were taken as soon as we pulled into my driveway after picking it up at the dealer, so we didn't have time to put stickers on it yet. In the next batch of pictures you will see stickers. No cause for alarm.... Axel   KJ Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2002 - 10:53 pm:    Axel, Thanks for the reassurance. I feared the worst, that after much experimentation, it was discovered that DiscoWeb stickers did NOT improve gas mileage, nor take years off our chronlogical age. I trembled thinking they could be following Kyle's bumper out The Window! WHEW! I can sleep tonight. Karen   David Gage (Davidg) Posted on Monday, April 01, 2002 - 09:59 am:    Hold on just a second KJ...After I put the discoweb sticker on my Freeloader, I felt younger and it now gets 21.3 MPG compared to the 21.25 it got when it was new..Now your sayin' there's no truth in it...what's this world coming to. :-} David "everyday in a Rover is a day added to the end"   KJ Posted on Monday, April 01, 2002 - 11:39 am:    Oh, not to worry David, it was all just a HUGE misunderstanding on my part! Better mileage, better looks, better sex, and for this crowd, better BEER after applying the DiscoWeb stickers! And now I have another line to steal: "Everyday in a Rover is a day added to the end" I'll drink to that! Karen   Erik Olson (Jon) Posted on Monday, April 01, 2002 - 08:06 pm:    Craig, I can't tell you how irritated my wife was to have you honk at the Discoweb sticker. She really hates it when my obsession with the British Motor Car is reinforced. I saw you coming up behind me, but had to get off the road to see a movie there in beautiful downtown Capitola. You're the first person who's seen and responded to the sticker - and I must see and be seen by about 20 Land Rover drivers every day. The little green sticker does tend to separate the poseurs from the die-hard Solihull fans. I didn't see your plates, are you local? If so, NCRC has been putting on quite a few outings of late - perhaps we'll run into each other off the pavement sometime! Cheers Erik   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Wednesday, April 03, 2002 - 01:17 am:    Erik- That's funny about seeing me come up behind you. I came up quick, noticed the Discoweb sticker, but waited until I was certain that was what I thought it was. My contacts get dry after running trails, so i was having some trouble focusing specifically on the sticker. I was unable to make the most recent mud run, but I went on the last Hollister outing (non-NCRC organized) with Lance and Mike. I was on my way back from Big Sur with a friend of mine. He wanted to go for a drive in my new DSII, and I wanted to check out the fire roads up there. The pics are in my gallery. Sorry to hear about your wife! My girlfriend just shakes her head and lets me do my thing. She is completely understanding, and even hits the trails with me sometimes. And speaking of local, I live in Hayward, near Rojas (Rovercon), and I work in Berkeley.   Erik Olson (Jon) Posted on Thursday, April 04, 2002 - 10:41 pm:    Craig, I'm in beautiful Oakland, California and work in the City. Actually, my wife is letting me go on the Border to Border TA02 Trek in September and has allowed me a generous allowance for mods between now and then. We should try to hook up sometime for a Cow Mtn. run with Mike. I've got new twins at home, so sometimes just getting a coffee is about all I have time for! Cheers, e   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Friday, April 05, 2002 - 04:12 pm:    Erik- Sometimes just sitting down for a beer is good as well! Where are you located in Berkeley? I'm not very well equipped at the moment for a mud run, but I've never been to Cow Mtn. I had a good time at Hollister, and would love to play there again. I'm working on a CB installation on the weekend of April 13, but we should have a beer in the meantime!   Horness Spencer (Horness) Posted on Monday, April 08, 2002 - 04:14 am:    Here's a couple of sightings from the weekend. Sticker on a nice newly fitted MJ Lee diff guard. Not sure how long it will last there though.   Horness Spencer (Horness) Posted on Monday, April 08, 2002 - 04:17 am:    Could not resist sticking one on the front of my 2 year old son's toy defender. He clapped eyes on it in a local store, and would not let go until I'd paid for it. The boys got a grip like a gorilla!   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Monday, April 08, 2002 - 09:44 am:    Yesterday on the 76 (King of Prussia) some dude in a Disco Waved and it wasn't the middle finger! I think there is hope yet!   Javier Velador (Jvelador) Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 01:52 pm:    Spotted: Tall ass, bright yellow, Jeep intimidating, latte drinking, trail monster on the 110 freeway (near downtown Los Angeles). hmm, and he had an expeditionexchange.com sticker as well. Now, who could that be???   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 03:59 pm:    LOL when was that? and no latte, i had 7-eleven coffee.   Javier Velador (Jvelador) Posted on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 04:23 pm:    It was some time last night. My in-laws saw your truck and recognized the same stickers that are on my rig. They asked if I knew you. I said, yup, he's one of the guys that pulled my truck out of Azusa last year. Then I thought about, damn, I can't remember what he looks like! hehehe We've got to hit the trails soon...   John Lee Posted on Saturday, April 13, 2002 - 12:24 pm:    Javier, If you can't remember what Ho looks like, take a look at Ho at his best: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/johnbull1/DCP_0191.jpg   KJ Posted on Saturday, April 13, 2002 - 05:12 pm:    Or, you could always refer to that Baby Ho picture.......Ho at his freshest! Karen   Javier Velador (Jvelador) Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 05:49 pm:    LOL! I remember now! He's the one that speaks better spanish than I do...(well, almost) Javier   Javier Velador (Jvelador) Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2002 - 06:09 pm:    How's this for a sighting????? John Lee's Milk Truck on the cover!!! http://www.landroverworld.co.uk/   Joey Chong (Trekker110) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 01:19 pm:    Los Angeles - I saw a yellow Disco on the 10 eastbound near the 605/10 interchange at around 0900 hrs. Could that have been Ho Chung's Kalahari?   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 01:37 pm:    joey, that wasn't me. i was in the office at that time. damn, feels like answering to some criminal investigation. LOL   Joey Chong (Trekker110) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 02:46 pm:    Ho: Just figured it might be you since I rarely see yellow Discos on the road. Oh well.   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 02:51 pm:    i usually hang around 110, from downtown to san pedro.   Wes Legaspi (Wes) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 04:03 pm:    'Could that have been Ho Chung's Kalahari?' So Ho, you calling your chickety a Kalahari now?   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 04:16 pm:    LOL, i never called it kalahari. i prefer "Taxi-Cab" ...   Wes Legaspi (Wes) Posted on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 04:28 pm:    Just making sure, because you didn't deny it.
