Ant's awesome Land Rover Discovery 2-Door mudder.

This quite rare-sight 2-door Disco is lifted and has knobbly-tyres, a snorkel and a rock-crawler plater over the front live-axle, which I never realised Disco's had. Now I know why people still like them.

His mate bought it for buttons two weeks ago and proceeded to get it stuck in a local pond, so none of that extra equipment made a blind bit of difference without a winch-bumper.

The thing was on its last legs from the outset, but the combination of the wheels hanging on the diffs in water for a day and the mud being churned through it, but a drive-shaft snapped on the front and the diff-lock got stuck in. Frankly, it's become a nightmare to drive on the road and is doing the Landy no good, but nevertheless it has tax, insurance and a valid MOT, so Ant is using it for work along with his Fiesta ST. It will be especially handy if we have the snow that is predicted.
