The full page advert on the back of the latest Outback Magazine shows the nine Defender models (now including the 90 series). Reading the glowing features of the toughness of these models says "The six speed auto transmission is designed for heavy duty applications".
What a bunch of dills.

That's because the Range Rovers they drive only come in an auto. Probably don't know what a Defender is.

Sadly, oh so sadly, truer words have never been said.

I rung the local Land Rover Dealer regarding the purchase of a new Defender:

The salesman's reply: I'm sorry the Defender is no longer made, it is now called the Discovery.

Barra1: The Defender is made, I don't want a Discovery - now can you give me an on-the-road-price - no trade.

Salesman: Sir (Yep, sir for the old Barra1) as I said it is a Discovery that you want.

Barra1: See ya.

Children fit the electrics in a Land Rover and twits sell them

Kenny at Trivetts still emails me to ask how mine is going. We catch up when it's in for a service.

I went into the show room past the Jags, the Peugeots and the RRs. I went up to his desk. He asked if he could help. I said I wanted to order a Defender.

He was a little taken aback...having regained his composure and without prompting he drove me to the holding shed in the back lots and showed me a Defender..I'd already made up my mind.
