    theres an easier way...
    see the open vent flaps? yes, its not a ford
    no.. can you hear a v8 whorfing air through a pair of cd175s?
    yes, its a 3.5v8 county.
    no.. are you unable to focus on it properly becuase its vibrating like an epelptic having a siesure while shorting a 400hz aircraft 3 phase power feed?
    Yes, its a 3.9l isuzu 4bd1 powered county

    not a bad idea, she loves driving the defender! Even better, I could get a cute pink electric 90! Or a bad boy bling black one! Yeah Gangsta!

    Hey Blknight, are you sure you shouldn't be driving a Hilux with all those manliness tests under your belt?

    Sure bloke, Defenders are tough. Yep...genius! Defenders are tough. ...yep, still tough. Hang on, is my manliness in question? Nah it's ok, my Defender is tough. ...isn't it? ...yeah it's all ok, my Defender is tough. Yep still tough...

    But...a Defender is also a thing of beauty, a design classic. And one of its attributes is quiet confidence, while all others primp and preen with their raised stiletto suspension, fat tyres, endless pretty light bars, Defender just gets on with the job, with grace...oh yeah and TOUGHNESS!

    Keep on 'whorfing' brother!

    I always thought the hump was caused by the motor(being as power full as it is) trying to escape when under full load.


    I've got the checker plate on mine.
    Being white the glare when driving was horrible.
    Black checker plate soon sorted that out and gives it a far better look than black paint.
    It could be used as a tool bench when bush as the bonnets are easy to remove
    Cheers, Kyle

    Very smart looking Defender. What work did you do on it?

    My chequerplate wings, when I get them, will be painted black to contrast with the white paint.
    No way I'll be putting a spare wheel on the bonnet though. That's what wheel carriers are for.

    Hmm, I suppose there's a worthy comparison between a Firefly class freighter and a Defender

    Saw two of the gulls in Santa Barbara last year. +1 million $ each.

    Saw a Series 1 in Black Rock for sale, hump in the rear (pto thingy). = 23K $

    Actually. Why is the hump there? Is it only cosmetic?
