Hi Roman,
Both actually.
It's convenient to have sorted car. Aint it.
This is the story:
The first disco I got was an ex 1990 Camel. Looked like a great car with all the expedition stuff etc. And thought I could fix it up for a couple 1000's of euros.
After more then a good second hand would have cost me, I had a car that had a hard time reaching 110km/hrs cause there was fault in the injection pump, the centre diff that wouldn't lock (probably only a small thing) worn gears in the transfer case, and something I didn't trust at all. I sold it, bought a well serviced 1992 disco in good nick and enjoyed a trouble free 20 000 kms with it (where about 8000 on a trip to Algeria, another 3000 and something on a trip to Kaliningrad with 6 people in it).
Getting it ready for a longer trip to West Africa now.
Good thing on the first one was that I learnt quite some mechanical stuff. Bad thing is that I could have traveled a lot with that money
