I was, but on the assumption I’d be able to drive the Disco in it! There isn’t even any snow down here!

Snow for aficionados. Upper Weardale late 1970s and out to exercise the dogs and have fun.
No snow settings, optional four wheel drive, no HDC, no such thing as winter tyres, only cross plies. How did we manage? 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.
