***, I agree totally, that's pretty much word for word what I've been seeing every time it snows here! I drive a 1996 Land Rover Discovery and have taken the time to learn how to use it properly (including handling trailers and particularly reversing them into unlikely spaces - a great help when you have to haul scenery around for the local amateur theatre group!). My old Disco is a superb truck, I know some had problems but this looks like a good 'un. Has the 300TDI 2.5L turbo diesel engine and the 5sp manual transmission which is great for pretty much anything. People who buy them and don't bother to learn to drive them properly baffle me too! Luckily we don't get too many of these, as I live in a rural area where pretty much every 4x4 you see is used as intended - mud all over the bodywork and the odd scrape from overhanging branches is normal! <br /> <br />I've just been rebuilding an old laptop PC here to run Redhat Linux - for those who've not encountered it Linux is a free operating system that is more secure than Windows, handles much the same, and doesn't eat all your PC's spare memory. Have been having some minor network card troubles but all seems ok now. It's effectively turned an old PC that was hiding in a cupboard into a usable machine!
