Thread: Picking up my 110 new Puma tomorrow excited!!!

Thanks guys, I will take a few pics after breakfast and post them later today. She is already a bit muddy as here in Ravenshoe there is some roadworks on the way to my farm and you drive for a few kms on dirt and it is raining. She did not stay clean for long..

Welcome to the "Mystique" of Defender ownership.
Yes, stones do make a "noise" don't they?..The first time we heard it, we thought a stone had hit the side of the vehicle!!
You're going to be a very "happy chappy",.....don't forget to wave!
Wasn't there some "drama" up your way yesterday?....gas bottle exploding or something?
Congratulations, Pickles.

Thanks , Yes there was a car ran into the bottom cafe and the gas bottles exploded. Not good at all, there are quite a few injured people 3 are serious and one is the missus of a friend, I am going to see them after breakfast

Not good, I hope your friend's "missus" is OK.
Pickles.

Well done to caffe latte. Hope your mates Missus is ok.
Speaking of the stone noise thing,does anybody know what the best under body coating is, to dampen it?

Was a helluva cafe explosion, judging from the news.

Re. the noise, you can actually buy kits from England, but there would be cheaper ways. Another option is to buy some rubber sheeting and stick it to the wheel arches.

Yes it is really horrible, more names of people I know very well I find out this morning were also hurt too

Here are the pics as promised. Unfortunately the events have taken the shine off my first day as a Defender owner.. I do love the car though..
