Agreed!.....I know the feeling, they handle it very well! In fact I love driving mine in any sort of wet weather, absolutely love it!

I reckon the Defender heater is the hottest, I have ever come across. Important for us Victorians.
You must have had the radio up loud, mine at least wipers make a fair bit of motor noise.
But overall agree, a good drive in any conditions.

It's a very wet winter this year compared to previous ones here

if only the air con worked as well as the heater. After a couple of hours it starts to blow warm. The heater on the other hand can sear your eyeballs.

I also had similar thoughts the other night - dark, cold, belting rain & my Deefer felt great & i've never felt safer. Best truck I've ever had by far.
