Interesting choice of 10's


Oh , OK then. 10.5's, cause they drive series vehicles too. Defenders are Lady Boy cars compared with a series

Will have to do a scale up.

I have only been a Puma owner for just over 12 months. Before that I had a stage 1 ute on loan for a couple of years. I was told in no uncertin terms the first time I drove it, "you must wave to all Landrovers".

My addiction didn't take hold until my first trip "medium" off roading in my Puma. I have been hooked since..... Maybe those Defender drivers do not know what their Defender can do yet?

Even a woman of average physical attibutes immediately becomes a 10 when she ever so gracefully climbs into the driver's seat of a Defender

And I dare you to tell Diana, Lou, Mrs Ho Har (shall I go on) that they should only drive in dire circumstances

Thanks for your comment Barra1

Wait till my missus reads that comment from ugu80!

She is a most capable Landrover Defender & Defender Puma driver ....AND she ALWAYS waves at all Landrovers - Discos included. And, I might add, she has been driving our Landrovers - for over 30 years. We only have Defenders right now so she can pick either one when she needs to go out somewhere.

I suspect ugu80 will wear the wrath of Mrs Ho Har, Diana & Lou - and quite a few more.

Best not show this post to the SWMBO, who is a Defender driver.....

Lots of women enjoy driving Defenders as they can see out the window, due to the excellent driving position.

The SWMBO's mum drove a Series III all the way around Australia. Why? Because the SWMBO's Dad drove the second Series III in convoy all the way around Australia.....

Our daughter also drives a Defender 130 in Arnhem Land and has been driving Defenders up there since 2004. You wouldn't believe some of the tracks and mud bogs she has to negotiate when they go camping/fishing/shopping - and she manages very well. She also carries out all the routine maintenance to her 130 as well.

I know also that dmdigital (Derek's) wife drives their Defenders as her daily drive to and from work in Nhulunbuy.

So, there are plenty of very capable lady Defender drivers out there!!

Point 1. A Defender will always get you home.

Point 2. You do realise the 'middle of nowhere' is not the car park at the school old boys rugby union match.

Is that guy waving at me?

Defenders snobs -- unite. Save the wave for those who deserve.
