Well, they are halfway there. Now, drop the price of the clearance shuffles. I want my orange shuffle!

Not really a lot of off road driving though I have and I will. I'm not sure how this will compare to my old disco which had larger tires (I think) and a Center locking diff. This has a CDL but there is not way to engage it because there is no linkage (well you can engage it you just have to go under the car and fiddle with some stuff). It has traction control instead which appears to work pretty good. It also has longer overhangs which hurts the approach and departure angles. It handles a lot better than my 98 on the road but lacks the 4.6 V8 my dads had which actually makes the car feel like it has some power. I live in New England though- lots of snow and ice so the AWD comes in handy. There is still ice on the roads where I live right now and about a 1ft of snow in the yard.
Let's just say I got a pretty fair deal on it. Overall it's very clean. Mechanically I see nothing wrong with it. The engine is absolutely spotless. Inside is clean as well. The outside has no dents, just a few very minor scratches you would expect on a 7-8 year old car. Right now they are fixing a small window seal that slipped down about 1/2" in the window that results in a whistling at 60mph+ and the sunroof switch for the front sunroof needs to be replaced. If they get the parts this week then it should be ready for me to take home. If not it will probably be next weekend.
I seriously looked at 8 other rovers...
Blue 1999 Disco 1, Burgendy 2001 Disco II, Blue 1998 Range Rover, Green 2001 Disco II, Blue 2000 Disco II, another 2000 Disco II, Grey 1999 Disco, Black 2000 Disco II

I picked up some rubber floor mats for it and a cargo liner. New cost is ~$320 but I got them used of this prison guard lady for $100. Mint condition, used for one season in her 04 discovery- good deal.
Next on the list will be iPod Integration. Afterwards maybe some 18" stock wheels. Too bad it has new tires.
See thats not true. I HATE starbucks, and I shall be getting a Air this Summer.
Wow I love those!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too bad I don't get em in the UK. I love American snacks, sweets, crisps, beef jerky and all!
I couldn't resist it any longer... i had to buy it.The song from the MacBook Air ad.
LoL! I'm tired of listening to that song!
Me too but i had to buy it. I don't know what came over me.
I also bought "Music is my hot, hot sex"

Good. Music is my hot, hot sex is an awesome song. I think that one doesn't get as old as New Soul.
Nice! I have a wacom in the same size, but mine isn't the special edition. I just installed it on my Vista laptop to play with the handwriting recognition and gestures program. I'm amazed at how well it works, especially considering how crappy my handwriting is. When I get bored, I'll hook it back up to my MBP, where serious work takes place.

Doesn't OS X have hand writing recognition? I thought I read somewhere that they do. I'm rather excited to get it. I debated for a long time and when I checked Wacom's site last night that size was no longer listed as available in the SE. I called this morning and they said they weren't being produced anymore, but the lady tipped me off and said to check B&H and Amazon. Amazon had B&H listed as their supplier I guess so I just bought it from B&H since I have an account with them. I'm rather excited and sure hope it is useful. One of my professors seems to think they are a waste. We'll see soon enough.
