From what I have found this is the Eldorado of Disco info. Rovertym stuff looks good to bad he only has springs availible for D-90's. They specialize in the Disco's. |

Quite a few central and NOVA folks I think you'll run across. Not sure where Hilton is but there's Dan at Radford whose not afraid to head out to the woods. THere's more than a handful of us that get together in Western VA (33W), so keep your eyes open to the "events".

There is a whole list of information under resources. See the vendors and club pages too. Tech sections are useful and there is always that search button! Cheers! Brian |

Hiltons? And you're not a Bright? Hiltons seems to be the Bright capital of southwestern VA, lol.... Jordan, run out to Weber City, hang a left at the Exxon to go down to Kingsport (I know, I know, you KNOW the way, lol....). FWIW, from the Exxon to your destination, it's only 9 miles by road, or 6.5 miles as the crow flies. Don't take the bypasss onto 181, stay on Lynn Garden Drive, go all the way down to where it ends on Center Street, and turn right. Go past M&M Auto, to the funky intersection with Industry Drive and Netherland Inn Road there under the railroad overpass. Take the right onto Netherland Inn Road. Go past the Riverside restaurant, then before you get to Netherland Inn, turn left across Ridgefields bridge. Take the immediate left as you come off the bridge onto Riverport road, then take the immediate right onto Tilthammer Drive. Go past the Weyerhauser sheet plant (on the left), down to the stop sign at Manor Drive (if you look left, you can see Portola packaging, and Evergreen greenhouses). Go straight, through the stop sign. There's a fence on the right with a gate: that's your new Land Rover heaven. The Thatched Roof Garage, Ltd.
I'll meet ya there sometime soon. -L PS: There's at least 2 heavily modified Discos in town, a green '97 (Jeff's) and a white D2 (Matt's). (Our red '95 is stock, 'til the wife lets me take charge ). |
