I love my D90 too! It's an awful town car, too many gears, too slow off the line, noisy and whatever. BUT I'm one of a kind and everyone loves it! The 4x4 club i'm in even the toyota drivers love it... they bag me out for having one but they love it.
I've got an agreement with the MRS; if we divorce, she can have the house and everything in it, I get the defender. :) When I die, they will burn me in it! :D:D
I don't care what parts I have to replace in the future, I don't care what other cars are on the road, don't care about "safety" (I believe that a defender is just as safe as the 120000000000airbag saftey zone bs cars anyway) I'm going to keep my little 90 forever.
In saying that though, it's not going to sit in the shed and not get used! I drive it to work, holidays, camping trips, 4x4 trips, it's the tractor, it's my town car...
