Thread: Where's the Defender wave gone?

Always wave to the "real" land rovers and only a small percentage are not returned.

Yes I admit I do call mine a 110 and correct people that call it a Defender, then I often go down the path of telling them why, the history bluh bluh.

A pet hate of mine though is calling any Series Land Rover a Defender! thats just wrong

Maybe we just call a 110 a “110”
(If you are lucky enough to have a 90 we will call it a “90”)
The original Defender a “Defender” (90 or 110 added to the end)
And the new Defender “the Metrosexual Defender”
(Waiving to these is optional)

I call my 110 a county as i don't in any way shape or form want it to be categorised with the 'other' 110's (defenders/pumas)

You know that’s the equivalent of some TD5 owners saying they drive an “Extreme”

There is a New One? OMFG! Must have slipped through. Does it look like everything else on the road these days?

That'd be it, I haven't noticed one.

That it certainly doesn’t. Can pick it a mile away.

They should. The screen, which they will all be addicted to, tells them it is every time they turn it on.

Went for a bit of a surf and sunburn at Freshy yesterday. Lost count of the waves, even light flashes, at about a dozen.
