Do Defenders even have warning chimes?

yes - miniature wind chimes hanging from the rear view mirror which warn you that your vehicle is in motion.

I feel smug knowing I've had both

And that there is nothing about either vehicle I dislike or regret...

However, I will be smug even more when the 2012-ish Defender arrives and is in my driveway...

Until then, I'll remain smug that my Discovery is freehold

I was just wondering if I am the only one who feels just a modicum of smugness every time a driver of one of those other vehicles has a gripe about a fault in some gadget on their vehicle that we Defender owners know is quite unnecessary in the first place?

Should I feel guilty about the fact that I have to resist the urge to post some biting comment in response every time one of them has a problem with their electric windows, their heated seats, their sat nav, their surround sound, their built in entertainment system, their parking sensors or their cup holders?

I have just invested little money in one of these modern Series Landies.
Even had to remove one of the 2 cup holders so I could plug my Nannocom into its brains!!!!
Handeling,Turning Circle,Cabin Room,NOISE,Heater and Aircon LOVE MY D2

Showoff.

Which bits of your body did you get galvanised?


Couldn't you just get a tattoo, or some exotic piercing?



I'm all for keeping up with the Isuzu Joneses, but I'm going to need pics before I proceed with this caper.


Oh, and a detailed explanation of how galvanising my parts is going to improve my driving on wet muddy grass?

Apparently it stops your parts getting rusty after getting dirty.
