Nice Plate.

3 waves from 110's on the road up to and back from Cape Leveque and well kitted out 130 over the past few days.

Every time l see a Defender l wave frantically as my Defender has been at the
F----- mechanic for 16 months know and still no closer to competion the only thing nearly completed is the Encyclopedia of excuses once if ever finished will be publishing and selling the Book of Excuses
I really am fed up with bull**** excuses and attitudes of so called mechanics that think it's there birth right to own your passion
I have promised my self the days are numbered once or or ever completed l will make sure nobody has to go through what l went through , l don't care how good they think they are they forget they are paid to do a job not tell us what makes there d--- look bigger
I can't wait to be waving to all Defenders mine will be a unique 130
Cheers

Driving through Richmond yesterday at the lights on the corner of Burke and Hawkesbury Valley Way saw a green (?) 110 (with a Mack bulldog on the bonnet), not only were the driver and front seat passenger waving furiously so we're all the kids in the back! We were in the black 90 waving back!!

I really cannot believe anyone in their right mind would allow a "mechanic" to have their vehicle for 16 months! What possible justification can he make for not fixing it or returning it and saying it can't be fixed?
Words nearly failed me after reading this sorry tale of owe. If it was me I'd have given notice of intent to retrieve my property by all means at my disposal (including threats) about a month after he'd got it if there was no discernible progress on repairs.

Yeah, I'm a bit lost for words on that count too. I had a vehicle in a shop for quite some time as he had to wait for parts from OS,, then it took him weeks to fit said parts, tried then to nail me with a storage fee.
Won't tell you what I told him, but at 22, young fit and ready to do battle, he didn't resist too much.

That's because you're a scary looking bloke, Marcus!!

Back on the waving topic, had a poor run on Saturday driving from Healesville back to Melbourne, went past three Defenders and not a single wave returned

Although holding up the honour of the eastern Melbourne burbs Defender drivers is a bloke in a red 90 Extreme who always waves
