Defender summary

[damolux]

I found this in an online review some one wrote about defenders, I thought you all may like it. Even though it states the obvious for most here!

Overall: This car is cool....very cool. Cool people step out of defenders; farmers,soldiers,firefighters,aid workers, explorers, royalty, mountain rescuers, special forces. It's not a car for men who are so highly preened and plucked they look like women. It's not a car for men who have a need to be looked at or feel the need to have a highly tuned 'chick magnet' with a 'woofer' box the size of a small country in the boot to prove they are a man. Metro sexual males will wince at the thought of climbing into a Defender in case they dirty their Armani jeans.
The man who drives a Defender is a down to earth, practical, modest all round bloody good egg that has a million cool stories about his life. He has no need for a 'big fast red' accessory to feel like he's made it in the world. When Landcruiser drivers criticise Defenders, Defender drivers just smile wryly. If someone criticises a Toyota you can bet you will receive an hour long lecture on why Toyotas are so good. Good maybe....but definitely not cool. One could say almost like any type of whitegoods....useful, practical but definitely not cool.
So there you go, if you are considering buying a Defender you will be part of a unique group of individuals, how many times have you driven a Toyota and had other Toyota drivers give you a wave when passing? Drive a Defender and you automatically enter into a unique band of people.

Couldn't have said it better. That is why I own a Defender. And that is what the new Defender has to live up to...

Put in such simple words the looks one gets driving down the road or getting out of it make complete sense :cool:

Patting is a bit poncy for a big butch Landy Arthur. I regularly give mine an affectionate slap with a 10lb mash hammer to show how much I love her:cool:

Phew,I do that to my Tdi and was worried I was turning into some kind of weirdo:eek:. Pat

[Didge]

ooh ooh ooooooh!. that's gooooood. Gotta show the missus this one. Maybe she'll remember why she married me :)

[The Cone of Silence]

I give mine a smack on the arse everyday....I thought I was weird! Good to see that I'm in some equally bonkers company.

Drilled my first holes in Monty yesterday. Felt good, doing some tinkering.

Just posted that on my firearms forum which is flooded with Toyota drivers....

I'll let you know.

I picked up my spankers Orkney Grey 110 Puma Wagon last Wednesday after a Defender ownership hiatus of 5 years.
My previous drive was a 93 200Tdi 110 Wagon. The following 5 years have been filled with mediocrity I will not mention here.

It is GREAT to be back in the world.

I also hope to be able to contribute to this great forum which was a massive help to me as I made the big decision to get back into the Landy owner's circle.

Cheers,

Ben.

Uh oh... what does that say about female defender owners.. *gulp* :o

Oh well! Doesn't apply to me - I don't drive a Defender. Usually an Isuzu engined 110 (or the 2a ute). So I wonder what this says about me? Definitely cool - the heater is none too good; in winter that is - hot in summer as the aircon is nothing to write home about either.

Defender drivers were the coolest kids in school, they know.........their mum told them:p

There is not much to say about female Defender owners;)

What can one add to the fact that female Defender owners are smokin' hot and have the X-factor that the Glamour Ladies of the catwalk can only dream about:)

[PAT303]

When I read this it reminded me of why I actually enjoy working on the truck as well as of course driving it.:D

Ahhhh... that explains the strange looks I get when people see a woman driving it then .. ;)

IMHO few things are as appealing as a woman driving a Defender.
