Good to see you are paying attention Stuuu. His old one is owned by a work colleague who has just moved to town last week (was FIFO). Used to park in my yard, rather than leave at the camp whilst he was out of town.

Yeah saw him filling up @ 199.5 cpl last week!

Have a good trip home. I'm off Thur to fly to Adelaide to see my Dad for a week and get back just before the Picnic weekend.

Thanks Dale, have a good trip.

I'm glad the diesel price hasn't changed since we left

This one was in Sydney. Met the owner who said It is a lot quieter, is a good performer and does not leak yet


Looked well set up


Also saw a few at Mount Perisha on our last trip. None around here yet
Cheers Tony.

Plenty round my way. At least one other white one in my suburb and I probably see on average one on the road every 3-4 days, and not just the same ones either. Passed another grey one yesterday and caught up with JohnR too.

The July issue of 4X4 Australia even listed the 130 as No. 10 in the top selling utilities category with 6 sales for April! I would have thought the 110 would be outselling the 130 by 4-1.

New Defenders.

I've seen several around Perth including a black in the close opposite my place. No wave from him though.
My mates got a red one and he's coming out with us on a run soon so maybe he'll let me have a play.
I'd like a nice new one but am very wary of those damn computers since the Td5 let me down.
Just once and that was enough with no way of getting it fixed in the bush.

I nearly,very nearly went over to the darkside but in the end found a 300Tdi Defender which with a pile of dollars has been good until now and I'll have to wait and see how much this problem will cost.
Happy LRing.
Alan.
