Hello. Stop everything you are doing. This is the most important ebay ad you will read today; indeed, the most important one you
will ever read. In fact, when, as an elderly person, you look back upon
your life, you will regard the moment you started reading this ad as the
most consequential single instant in your entire life. Not only do you
owe it to yourself to read this ad, see the truck I am selling, buy it
from me, and give me an above market price, but you owe it to your
country, countries, or status as a stateless person (my condolences),
and to the god, gods, or lack of god that you do or do not believe in
(happy holidays). Failure to finish reading this ad will lead to the
premature death of you and all your loved ones.
No pressure. I am selling, and you should buy, a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II. Clear title in hand. It's Desert Tan Metallic. In order to truly understand the enormity of the moral and practical imperatives which make it an urgent necessity that you buy this car, you must first be apprised of information about the model, and about this car in particular. Before you do this, you must be immersed in the English culture from which the Disco originated. Please start playing some dignified Brit music. Now that you are suitably en-musiced, here are some important facts about the Discovery series: Discovery II's run and drive. This is not a property of an individual car, but of most Disco's as a group. Unlike most SUVs, the Disco was not built on an assembly line. They were constructed by hand, outdoors in the fog and rain, by teams of tall, bare-chested Brittish men who swung their tools in a synchronized fashion and chanted automobile-durability incantations in unison while they worked. This is the source of the Discoveries legendary durability. Unlike most cars, the Disco was not designed by professional automotive engineers. Instead, it arrived fully-formed as an inspiration in the mind of the designer while he was ambushed by a sasquatch and trapped under a pile of spotted dick in Downsford Abbey. After he was rescued by the English Bear Cavalry, he returned to work at Land Rover and transcribed, by way of yodeling, his vision onto paper. There are only three known ways to destroy a Land Rover Discovery: 1. Place it in the center of a gasoline tanker explosion and then crush the remains in a hydraulic press 2. Drive it into the fires of Mount Doom, if you are strong-willed enough to part with it. Destroying a Disco in this manner may result in the loss of a finger. 3. E-85 gasoline 4. Don't maintain it. Because the Discovery is the only car capable of withstanding a direct nuclear blast, and cockroaches are the only life form capable of surviving, in the event of a nuclear war, the earth will be populated exclusively by cockroaches driving Discos. You have been warned. When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, God did not give them a car. But if he had, it probably would have been a Discovery. And if it had been, then it would probably still be running today. Maybe. I have owned this amazing specimen for two years. I bought it with 62,000 miles and paid $9,000.00. I immediately had a 60,000 mile service done at Green Oval Motors in Portland, OR. The plug wires were replaced, a MAF sensor and it got all new fluids. I replaced the wimpy and tired stock shocks with proper Bilsteins. Yes they are hello and that doesn't matter until you crawl under the car and see them in all their glory. All service records are available, along with oil change records since I have owned it. Shortly after the 60k service, the head gasket was done, also at Green Oval. (Cost $3K) I replaced the rear brake rotors and pads, put a new battery in her, and converted the crappy airbag suspension with coil springs. (No leaking airbags leaving you stranded) I have the stock alloy wheels as well as the steel Land Rover wheels with tires that have less than 10,000 miles on them. The tread is easily at 90 - 95%. It has right around 77,200 miles now and runs great. The milage may go up a tiny bit as I still sometimes drive the truck. Full Disclosure here. I am going to give you the bad along with the awesome. There is nothing that prevents the function and nothing at all serious. I believe in full disclosure and would love it if all car sellers were as honest as me. There is a small exhaust leak on the right hand side of the motor compartment near the header. If I can trace it, I can fix it. We'll see if I have time. Sometimes the air suspension warning light comes on. This is because it is trying to inflate air springs that are not there. It's a simple computer plug in / update that any certified Land Rover shop can do in about 5 minutes, telling the computer that there is no air suspension. The front brakes will probably need pads / rotors in about 10,000 miles. It's a very easy job and you can do it with a jack and jack stands. Because you have assimilated all the important information above, I assume you are now driven by a passionate urgency to purchase this car, and are making calling me your top priority. Fear not, as I am prepared to take your call at any hour of the day or night. Simply make sure you are sitting down, and call (503) 530-9425 with any questions you may have. |

Second 'No Time To Die' trailer drops with lots of crunching metal
Thu, Sep 3 2020The second trailer for the new James Bond film, "No Time To Die," was posted to social media Thursday morning, getting us thoroughly hyped for the forthcoming installment thanks to some spicy car content and lots of other ridiculous, big-budget action sequences. Fair warning for the purists: This might contain plot- and character-related information from the trailer itself. Also, it appears that many Land Rover Defenders died in the making of this film, so the footage may not be for the faint of heart; don't say we didn't give you advance notice. As is typical of Bond films, most of the automotive eye candy is of the European variety. The classic Aston Martin DB5 gadget car (which we saw doing some crazy machine-gun donuts in the first trailer) makes yet another appearance, as does what appears to be fourth-generation Maserati Quattroporte. There's even something which might be a car, but also appears to be both some sort of airplane and submersible. Never change, Bond. We love it. And then there are the Defenders. We've got Defenders speeding down hillsides, Defenders crashing through forests, Defenders flying over Land Cruisers. Yeah, do you like Land Cruisers? There's a Land Cruiser. It even (spoiler alert!) survives relatively unscathed; the same cannot be said for most of the automotive shenanigans we get to see here. "No Time To Die" was originally slated to debut back in April, but its original release date roughly coincided with the projected peak of early coronavirus infections. Given how important the Bond film franchise's continued success is to MGM (it's virtually the only thing the studio has had going for it for 30 years) and the producers (who only make Bond films), meager box office returns were not an option. The last film, Spectre, pulled in the worldwide gross of $880 million, including $200 million in the United States and $83.5 million in China. The wait is almost over. "No Time to Die" will hit theaters Nov. 25 in the United States. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover reveals EV concepts, details green strategy
Fri, Sep 11 2015While it offers diesel models and even a couple hybrids, Jaguar Land Rover isn't quite as fleshed out on alternative powertrains as its luxurious German rivals. That should change pretty soon. JLR revealed three concepts at the CENEX Low Carbon Vehicle event in Millbrook, England, today. The Concept_e "research demonstrators" all use a new electric drive module, an EV system that the Indian-owned, British-based outfit claims will double the power and torque of today' electric motors. JLR says these modular EDMs can be paired with any of the company's engines or transmissions to create either a mild hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a pure EV. So yeah, this is kind of a big deal. Arguably the most exciting offering is a one-of-a-kind research vehicle. Riding on JLR's aluminium aluminum architecture, it ties together two electric motors – an 85-kW unit with a single-speed trans on the front axle and a 145-kW rear motor that's been mated to a two-speed transmission – with a 70-kWh li-ion battery that's mounted in the underbody of the car. There's also the Concept_e MHEV. This is a Range Rover Evoque that's been fitted with a mild hybrid system. Just a refresher, but a mild hybrid is very different than what's found in either a Chevrolet Volt or Toyota Prius, as it uses the electric motor and battery pack to simply assist the internal combustion engine, rather than for an electric driving mode. Reflecting that use, this particular Evoque uses a 15-kilowatt electric motor and a 48-volt, lithium-ion battery pack alongside a 90-metric-horsepower diesel-powered prototype. Finally, we have a Range Rover Sport-based plug-in hybrid. This brute uses a 300-metric-horsepower prototype gas engine and an eight-speed automatic alongside a 150-kilowatt electric motor. Energy is stored in a trunk-mounted, 320-volt, li-ion battery back. Partially funded by the British government, the EDMs are the result of a 16.3-million-pound ($25-million) research-and-development program. They're built in house by JLR, but were developed alongside 12 partners. While these concepts are exciting, don't get your hopes up to see a plug-in Jaguar XF or an all-electric Discovery Sport in your local dealer any time soon. "This is a long-term Jaguar Land Rover research project exploring all aspects of future hybrid and battery electric vehicle technology," JLR research and design boss Dr. Wolfgang Epple said in the attached statement.
Aston Martin DB10 spied in action on James Bond Spectre set
Tue, Feb 17 2015Spectre, the next film in the James Bond franchise, is due for release on November 6 of this year. That means there's filming happening right now all over Europe as scenes are stitched together, and one of them involves the Aston Martin DB10 shuffling through maneuvers at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Our guess is that Bond has become an unwelcome guest at a fancy event – there's a Porsche 959 and a Bugatti EB110 in the courtyard – which is why he is forced to make one of his quick-reversing escapes under fire. While that was being captured last week, the Spectre production crew put together another behind-the-scenes clip from filming in Austria, which gives us a look at the Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Defender "Bigfoot" crushing it up some snowy mountain passes. That clip is below. Yes, we're excited.
