I have always wanted a rover and like most guys I wanted a vanity plate. I always wanted IRROVIN (I are rovin). The plate I got here in Nevada was the FFA plate (future farmers of America) and it has a maximum of 5 letters so I chose IRRVN. It immediately became known as Irvin (as in the name). It also is called "little Jitney". | ||

Will, I think your wife and my girlfriend would make good friends. My girlfriend also refers to my disco as Piece of Sh*t, usually prefaced with the words, "That" or "Your" that could also be prefaced with the words, "I'm not taking", "We're not taking", "Are we taking" and last but not least "When are you going to sell". I just call it the Pit of Despair, but I love it none the less. | ||

I never really understood the whole car name phenomenon until I owned more than one LR. At first it was easy because I owned a LR and a RR. My wife could ask; "are we taking the Land Rover or the Range Rover?" Now with three LR's out front things are little confusing. Her: "are we taking the Land Rover?" Me: "which one?" Her: "The Disco" Me: "which one?" etc. etc. Names would help the situation and probably save me a lot wasted discusion time. However, I had a hard enough time naming my daugter and my dog so naming a car is beyond my creative ablilities. | ||

If you raise you disco properly, then you shouldn't have any discipline problems at all. Whether it's around kids, or not. This thread is just getting wierd...  | ||
| Edward Bibb (Heirless) Member Username: Heirless Post Number: 79 Registered: 04-2003 |
I agree with Matthew, if you start with the basics and maintain good habits then your Disco should behave correctly reguardless of the distractions. Used Discos will have there own set of habits and issues as with anything preowned. | ||

I dont know what to think. I used to think Explorers were a good breed, real easy to train to do tricks like rollover and stay in one place. Then I learned of the good nature of the Discoverys. Slow witted creatures with a docile nature. Then one day when checking the snout I accidentaly knocked the prop rod out on the hood and it closed on my hand......I think she had been in the garage too long. So is the salvage yard like the pound? To the point, I dont have a name but I really like it when someone calls her a truck. Makes me proud. | ||

You can take really good care of your Disco and the alternator (2nd one) will still take a crap on you halfway between Wilmington and Concord (this is a good, long, desolate distance for you guys out West). Then you get to spend the night in a charming little one-Napa-no-alternator-having town, known best as the place where a bigtime basketball player's dad got murdered. Then the "mechanic" starts pouring cans of Coke on your electrics while you wait for another alternator - from Wilmington! With no sign of the part at the end of the day, you take a room in a seedy six-room motel with cheap condoms and stale little mints left for you on the bureau, and mold (or blood stains) in the shower stall. Once the new part arrives, you install it in about ten minutes with the "mechanic" looking on and scratching his head. A couple hours later, you get home and your wife has been watching your three kids since yesterday and she is not happy. You spend the rest of the day explaining that you were not out cavorting, and she still doesn't (completely) believe you until the $612 line item from Land Rover Cape Fear shows up on the next AMEX statement. That's the weekend my Disco got the name "Piece of Shit" from my own beloved wife. I've never named any of my cars, but the missus seems very fond of this moniker when referring to the Land Rover. Tell you what, coddling your Disco is only good for so much. e | ||

| Andy Thoma (Andythoma) Senior Member Username: Andythoma Post Number: 533 Registered: 01-2003 |
The thing is any pure breed will take a crap on the living room rug if you don't pay attention to it. So the disco might take a crap if you don't coddle it. But if you spare the rod, you'll spoil the disco. In the end it's all about LR being an overall good breeder, but having seen those spy shots and reports of its new 2005 litter, I think they need to start culling the litter. Maybe the breeder is going down hill. I still haven't figured out what to name my truck from this tread ... | ||
