Defender Love

[Blade74]

Just wondering how many other owners of Defenders are the same as me.
Every time I get out of my car and lock it to walk away I look back and admire it.
I think i might be in love with my defender.
You know you're happy with your car when you always look at it and admire it.

[Chops]

I'm in Luuvvvvvvv,,, ;)

[Jondavball]

yep!

[Blade74]

Don't tell my girlfriend but I'm very sure the defender gets more attention.

[rangietragic]

Now you mention it i look back at my 130;).

[MarknDeb]

Fellas its not only the fenders that do it, the Disco gets the same attention ;)

I saw Blades Defender today and I am not surprised he loves it, by far the most tidy TD5 90 I have seen for a while.......

We just have to get him on a forum trip to get some dirt on it.......:wasntme:

[Bess]

Yup, turn her off, say goodnight or see ya & give her a pat on the fenda as I walk away. Just makes me smile!:D

[LoveB]

The way I see it is, if you dont look back at your car when you walk away (or child as I should put it) then you've obviously bought the wrong one.

[460cixy]

I can admire mine from my work bench :). Love b. how fast we're you going when you were behind me this morning I'm wondering if new fender speedos are as bad as the old ones I had 110 on my clock and 120 up the hill if I don't step on it there the tdi won't get me to work before smoko

[Greyfox]

The misses thinks that we are all mad, I say good morning , and good night to Henry, I am madly in love :D

[Blade74]

Thanks Chook.

Mate yours was an absolute weapon. Don't think I've seen a defender so kitted up for extreme offload before.
Will definitely get some advice from you as I do bits and pieces to mine.

[Flipper]

Love my 130 also.
When it is parked I walk around making sure all doors are locked and then press the alarm remote. (The remote then activates and receives signals from the Defender upto 3Kms away if anyone touches it).

[jimb]

Sometimes I have a beer and just face my chair towards her- drink, stare and grin.

[The Cone of Silence]

I'm glad that I'm not alone!

I always turn back and check Monty out when I walk away....and it always brings a smile to my dial.
If he's parked somewhere that I have to walk past him, e.g. when I walk to get the ferry in the morning, I pat him on the fender or on the rear and say "G'day big fella", or "Morning big boy". It's really quite sad. I'm sure my neighbours have caught me talking to him from time to time.

When I was installing the diff guards I had to undo a few of the bolts on the diff itself and remember saying to him "Don't worry mate I'm only fiddling with a couple and I'll put them right back, I'll be as gentle and as quick as I can"....and then I saw a neighbour's feet walking past, up the street. Facepalm.


Blade, you're not wrong about Chook's Puma, that thing is a weapon.
I'm up for a forum weekend in the dirt too, by the way.

Every morning I walk out the front door, I fall in love all over again.

[Blade74]

Hahaha so I'm not the only nut job then.

[Babs]

I love mine but I'm always perving at others. Lol.

Loved mine. I have my cars parked right outside the office with full height glass so I spent just about every working hour for four years looking at it and getting distracted. Sure, I did sell it but it was to a trusted enthusiast. More like marrying it off actually.

Just confessed my adoration for Thomas to the boss and read her a few of your posts and she just left the room silently shaking her head. She had the old "I'm not angry, just disappointed" look about her.

[jimr1]

Well Jacko, that Daisy of yours is certainly a fine looking filly!!!!!!

[goanna_shire]

I love my perentie unhealthy-like. My biggest weakness is the poor souls deserted, battered and bruised that I see at the auctions :(. I want to adopt them all and nurse them back to good health. Somehow I don't think I'd stay very married...

What make are you high level lights? I am looking for something up there and not keen on these new fangled light bars!

[patclan]

I love my Max, he is faithful and loyal, so far he has been reliable.. He takes us wherever we want to go without a complaint, he costs as much as a mistress but is far more rewarding..
