    White rocks!

    It's amazing the punishment white can take without looking horrible, unlike the darker colours.

    Heh Xavier,

    Is that a Safari snorkle I see on your 07 ???? If so did you fit it yourself odid someone do it for you. Because I keep on getting told that the Safari snorkle hasn't been modified to suit the new internal airbox yet??

    Cheers,

    I did not do it and that's true it has not been modified yet. But, any good mechanic should be able to figure it out. In saying that it takes a lot longer because parts had to be removed and then replaced. I thought the whole Front guard was going to have to come off but luckily it did not.

    There was a few days there for which I was seeing how much I could sell it for.

    What do you think of her?

    Xavier, no doubt you've outlined your problems here before, but would you mind doing so again for those of us that missed it. By the way she looks magnificent.

    07 Defender is great

    Had some time in a Series 2 as a teen and since then 02 Rangie Diesel and 93 Pajero. Took the plunge on an 07 Defender to supplement a BMW 7 series (4 kids and I won;t let them eat in the "good car". Well, after a couple of months I had driven the "good" car twice so got rid of it. Sure the fender is noisy and won't do 250km BUT it will do 110-120 all day, tow a 1 1/2 ton boat between Brisbane and Hervey Bay without missing a beat, fit 6 pax in more comfort than a Cruiser and if someone hits it in the parking lot or shopping centre you feel sorry for them!!!!

    We did over 10,000k in 2 months!!!!!! (Admittedly 3,500 of that was around NSW with the kids on a snow trip and 2 trips to Fraser)

    It gets attention from other 4x4 drivers who want to compare themselves to you. You know that thing where subaru drivers say their car is as quick as a Porsche - but its not... a Porsche, that is) Well, cruiser drivers say that when they do some modification they can do what the fender does.

    Its a 20K plus saving on a 200 cruiser and I'd rather the 20K and does the same stuff.

    When you get somewhere, you forget comparing "how" you got there.

    My kids love it and I hope that one of them can take it off me in the future.

    Cheers
