I think I was also hit with "short wheel base envy"! Man that little 69 Series just crawls around like a little bug, seemingly unaffected by gravity!

Amazing machine - If I had 5k I'd consider the red and white one on ebay - a fixer upper.

The other advantage that I saw was that you could probably winch the thing right up a tree if you had a good reason.

My disco hasn't really failed me as far as where I've taken it. After getting pulled out of a mud pit by a jeep wrangler this weekend (I was thrilled he stopped to help), we went to assist a blazer who got stuck nearby, and the guys that rode in my vehicle were oohing and aahing over the comfortable ride, and air conditioner! Of course, they left some nice mudstains on my leather seats! (they wipe right off if you get em quick enough).
