Thread: Finally arrived! the replacement.

So today we finally picked up our car...was it smooth sailing??

of course not!! because who says picking up a new car should be as simple as getting your keys signing the paper work and saying thanks and driving out with a grin on your face....

Anyway lets just say we have it now and hopefully its not a sign of things to come.

So while it looks like every new defender that gets delivered I have to post a picture because it didn't happen without pics right?!

Ironically first mod to be done will be meeting up with another member and swapping grills and headlight surrounds..I hate the black and he wants to the back Sweeeet!...Then the mods will happen as money becomes available.

There is a snorkel on the way, hoping to be able to buy some Nugget stuff on next pay day....and then it will be saving for some ridji stuff etc...

When I actually have something to show I will start a thread in members rides

Crappy photo I know but it was just about to go dark and the iphone is not the best in lowlight

We actually lost quite a bit of money so we have gone in to a bit of debt to get this car.. not much!!! but a bit...we are of the opinion well take it on the chin or we don't get one at all with them ending.

The biggest thing is we just dont have the money to put the goodies on it took along time to get the 110 how we wanted it..and I fear with the lack of funds we have the 130 will take just as long if not longer..

but I'm saving hard

Luck, or no luck, doesn't matter now,...you have got one of the last 130s,...a classic, which you are going to appreciate for a very long time.
The photo isn't too flash,..is it Keswick?
Congratulations, Pickles.
