Don't waste your time trying to explain it to them, they won't get and you don't care really care anyway.

I have just come back from a eight week trip up to Cape York and back to Melbourne and my family and I had a ball. More importantly the puma just performed outstandly.
People who dont know any better ask, why buy a Defender. Well here are a few happy snaps of my trip and how the car performed to answer those that ask why. Like many pics they dont do the tracks justice.
Pic 1 is heading up palm creek (north to south) i drove down it to see how the car would go as i planned to drag my camper down it the next day. After i drove down i then relised I had to drive back up.... Doh!!!
Pic 2 is a little further up
Pic 3 is amost there......
Pic 4 is there
here are some pics of the ford just before Nolans......
here is Nolans.....
Just another track that looks flat in a picture
The car did it all easily, did not skip a wheel anywhere and just crawled along where others were getting drowned or whinched, and she towed a trailer all the way from Melb to the tip and back without a groan of complaint. We drove the telly from Bramwell to the Jardine, every crossing, every obstacle and every muddy bog.
That why we own defenders!!!!
i have thousands of pictures and many video of the Defender powering through and others being recovered.. The car is brilliant.

awesome stuff, thanks for posting
what mods have you done to your Defender?
Looks like he just put some lights on it; what more do you need?
ForumSage
Very Nice, great pics. Must be happy with the camper trailer too I'd have thought.
Blew a headlight bulb, I learnt to turn mine off when going into water. great photos

Thanks for the pics.
Yep nice truck allright!
Love to see more photos, perhaps you can put a link up sometime.
Looks like you've got larger MT rubber on. Don't know if she would have done as well with the general grabbers.
Is that a LROCV sticker on your back window?
Master
Yes it is - A great club and the tyres are nice. I did notice a improvement when I got those fitted.

Yes but not through water crossings, a rock punched a nice hole in it, have sinced replaced it with the LED headlights from Mulgo. They are nice lights.
