    My experience, I think the more you ‘personalize’ your truck the more you become attached.
    Still waiting for mine to ‘wink’ at me.

    Love can be fickle,
    If you buy it and it then craps itself and cooks the head and you have to pay a greaser 5 or 6 gorillas you're gonna wish you kept the japper
    In my opinion you gotta love them before you put your hard earned down. At least you have the early memories, they are strong within!
    BUT once its yours - there will be no going back. Its called character - no other fourby but maybe an FJ40/45 really has it.

    When I was a patrol driver I used to bag out the landy drivers. Then I got a D3 and realized why people love land rovers in general. Then after a while with it I knew I wanted a defender as the D3 was great but just didn't give me the childish grin I get every time I jump in the defender.

    I guess it is love.

    Cheers

    When you've made the trip into the big smoke and had to park it on the street or in an outdoor parking area because it won't fit underneath, then you catch a glimpse of it surrounded by "city" cars and "city "folk", you realise how different it looks. You realise that your truck has character. You realise that it may leak and growl and sometimes give you the ****s, and you realise that you love it anyway.

    I Just bought a new 110, pick it up on Friday afternoon and am looking forward to getting to know its quirks...... They will b different than my current drive, (85 County 110), but then they will b the same as well !!

    So, do you buy relatively new and then wait for it to develop the quirks or have you bought one with them !

    You are definately going to find quirks its just that you need to be happy to love them. Thats the mantra a Defender owner has to go by dont they ?..........

    I don't drive my defender every day, I have a work car and or push bike depending on which job I'm heading to. My big green fender still makes me smile every time I drive it, my daughter loves bouncing around in it, and my wife loves the fact its taken us to some of the nicest places in Australia. I think you know it's love when some philistine calls it a jeep and you get upset.
