Hi - both 90s..

Hi ... as an update, I did tell my wife... she locked me out of the house, told the kids I am no more and burnt my rugby videos ... yep, her reaction was not half as bad as I thought it would be :)
Seriously though, she was Ok with it... I do change my cars often (but not these ones!) - she said as long as I don't change my wife as often as I change my cars, I am good. As they say, always easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission!
Looking forward to picking up the 90 Adventure .. was at the dealer yesterday - saw a 110 Adventure. Agree with YOLO110 .. they look amazing...
Nice one mate.
Going to have a look at the 90 Adventure that would have been mine tomorrow, I'll take some pictures, bit miffed that it doesn't have carpet just that in one of the promotion pictures it did! Saying that they also had a snorkel and roof rack!
Post some more tomorrow!
OK!!!

LOVE the colour in the 'flesh'! :cool:
Less than 5 minutes after taking these, I was back in my Keswick Green 90... it looked very 'dark' in comparison!
The Heritage is a great 'nod' to the 'heritage' of the Defender IMHO! I like the colour, the interior, the little touches. Its just a bleeding shame the in OZ they get A/C, steps, radio etc etc... but in the UK, we get NOTHING!
CRAZY! Why not have a single spec vehicle running... NO Fffing idea!
Still love it though!! :>))
There's a grey 110 Adventure for sale at Geelong LR, 7 seats, sunroof, cold pack, privacy glass etc. After my order got a bit cocked up I was chasing other dealers up looking for a 7 seat 110 and came across it, though I couldn't convince my wife the $20k premium ($84k drive away) was worth it over the standard 110 with all the goodies that I found elsewhere. Bloody tempting though!
Well bloody hell, went to have a look at the 90 Adventure that was going to be mine, there was also a black 90 with leather and black pack, being honest apart from the exclusivity of the Adventure I couldn't see where the extra $13K was! I took my old mate and he called me a knob, saying that I should just buy the standard one! Anyway, they had a 90 demo and I took it for a drive, well I was shocked how great the seats are and after reading posts on how cramped the driving position is I thought it was great! Loved the steering (apart from the lock) and thought it was quite nippy, hated the shift from 2nd to 3rd but reckon I'd get use to it! Will I get use to it, reckon so!
We then had a good look round all the new car garages and you do start to question yourself when you see what you can buy for just under $70K. Seen the new Alfa sports car as well, that is one nice bit of kit! My old mate looked at a Ford Fiesta ST, for the cost of the Adventure I could buy two and still have $10K, bizarre isn't it!
There is a pretty broad selection of great cars available at the price point of a new Defender, but I doubt there's many that will hold their value as well at this point. That's my justification anyway!
What are you going to do, get the standard or the Adventure?
Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and thought I would reveal what I have bought, delivery Jan 2016.
Defender 90, Corris Grey with black pack with alloy wheels, cold climate pack, premium leather, sunroof, black side runners, front mudflaps, front carpet mats,
This was one of two of the last coming in through Lance Dixon, Doncaster, they still have a Heritage 90 that can be ordered if anyone is interested.
Managed to squeeze the sales guy to 54K drive away... thought a pretty reasonable deal.
Chris.
