Thread: Defender hair...

Isnt a funny hat part of Defender ownership along with a beard?
Being somewhat follicularly challenged these days, the aerodynamic attributes of my cranium have contributed to smoother airflow throughout the cabin and achieved a fuel consumption reduction.
The thought of "How is my hair?" is probably more like 'where is my hair?
However with Mrs Strangy, the hair question is very important.
Explaining that a Defender is an icon not a fashion statement therfore many iconic attributes are passed to the occupants, hasnt helped.
I thought I was onto something after a further suggestion that, I loved watching her hair blow in the breeze, was met with amazement until disbelief set in.

Thinking maybe she could have one of those plexi glass capsules the Cabbies and Bus drivers have.....

That is why in more enlightened times, Defenders had front vents. With the window open just a little to avoid disturbing your carefully coiffured hair, those vents provided enough ventilation.

Ah! for the good old days when Defender drivers could arrive at work as immaculately coiffured as when we left home.

Rumour has it that the front vents were fitted for that express purpose.

I don't drive a Defender (yet, my next one will be )
BUT.
I'm constantly getting my hair messed up as I stick my head out the window to try and hear if my front prop shaft is chirping

Guys guys guys,,

Too easy for words,,

Man up, and shave your scon,, feels great too,, (and some women even prefer it)

When I read 'Defender Hair' it makes me think of hair which is matted, knotted and dirty with bits of grease in it. Not a fashion statement, just gets this way from laying under it on the trolly fixing things.

Hey some of us Defender drivers are girls and I aint shaving my scon

Ha ha I thought it was just me that jumped out of the truck with a hairdo reminding me of my Dad's comb over and no you can't wear a hat because then you get hat hair and that is even worse.

And no, definately don't open both windows when you find the solution let me know because I always have my window down, how else can I do the wave

If you wind your drivers side passenger window down a bit, the blowbacks not as severe.
The Minister of Finance has really long hair, and when all the windows are in the right positions, her hair gets in my face . There ain't no way she'll be cutting hers off

This is one of the wittiest threads for a while! Keep going!
