ThreePointFive Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well to be fair I'm surprised it took us this long to uncover a fellow forum member's abomination! And by abomination I mean well executed engineering project. At least nothing about the Disco looks blatantly Dangerous, the roll cage isn't made of painted toilet roll tubes, is it?

SPendrey Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Appears to have no windscreen, but the exhaust pops out the bonnet just in front of the passenger.... That's true, but it is only a problem when turning left, or in a left-to-right cross wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 That's true, but it is only a problem when turning left, or in a left-to-right cross wind. Perfectly fine when in reverse as well ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Wow - slightly O/T as it's not made out of foam rubber and poster paint, or look like a spaceship, but it is on ebay and pretty noteworthy. This chap has built a Defender 130 Ambulance that regularly returns 38mpg at 70mph. He's not giving too much away, but it seems at least part of the secret lies in the special snorkel it has fitted, which actually increases airflow to the intercooler. It actually gets more economical the faster it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
