If you look carefully at my avatar you will see, under the visor, a BEARD.

Are you aiming for something like this?

In which case unless your spouse or partner is a bit more tolerant than mine, you may have to put up with comments like,"Unless you trim that beard, I'm not going anywhere with you".

[steane]

It needs to look like this or it won't look right :)

I have received the' you look like a terrorist ' comment. Also ' it's softer then it looks comment.' But I think that pic is right on the money. I've pulled out my Akubra so it all fits together nicely. I can even keep my Akubra on while in the defender to.

over the summer I thought I would do the same. I love eating custard. I had to change to the thick stuff. My dirty ginger beard was getting all sorts caught in it.
Ron has put on a lot of weight now with all the extra food :p

vnx205 I cant get over how much a like you and 130man are

[spudboy]

I'm sticking with my George Michael look....

[Dopey]

Rubeus Hagrid, probably drives..... Definitely not a Defender, has to be an Isuzu County!

defebder drivers cant grow beards. to high a risk of an electzy short out bang and fire risk.
only isuzu pilots can have beards:p

Isuzu drivers MUST have beards so the rest of us don't have to watch your double chins shaking violenty. You do need to use beard fire retardent though as who knows when a piece of the drivetrain is going to explode or hit the road in a shower of sparks.

Shake, Rattle and roll:p

I hope you only mean the three day growth !!?? :o

It's what I tend to almost permanently sport :D

[spudboy]

Oh yes - just the George Michael beard look, nothing else!!

Mrs Spud doesn't like long hairy beards. Says they capture too much foodstuff :p

Twenty years ago 3yr old daughter referred to a clean shaven type as "that man with a ladies face". All the adult men in her life at that time were properly equipped.

I guess shampooing and conditioning the beard is out of the question ?

LOL they do not shake Violently they vibrate which keeps you trim. The diameter of the steering wheel ensures the double chinned potbellied bunch can only drive defenders. As for fire risk? no electrical shorts to worry about unlike a defender. And why do defender owners keep on retrofitting 110 drivtrain bits to there defenders?? Maybe it because the defender bits have exploded in a shower of sparks--- More fire risk LOL

[Trundle]

Damn, I just removed the 'Harley' beard. You telling me I have to regrow it in this new fangled 'defender' style.
I fear it's going to get covered in grease and oil again, which was the driving force behind removing the 'Harley' beard.
But can I wear the 'defender' beard on the Harley or do I have to shave and regrow when I swap vehicles?

[Dopey]

I saw a pretty awesome Defender/Beard combination yesterday afternoon on Victoria road at Ryde.
130 dual cab (300TDI) with hard canopy and KLR stickers on the side and rear.
The old fella (sorry, Mature gent) navigating had one of the most awesome Land Rover beards that I have seen in a while....... Definitely only fitting for either the owner of a 130 or an Isuzu County, it would have been out of place in one of the new fangled electrickery gizmo'd Defenders.
If you are the owner or know the owner of this vehicle (NSW Rego XFN511), please post a photo of this masterpiece and share it with the rest on the forum.
Mike.

Also, which comes first when describing it? Defender/Beard or Beard/Defender?

I have noticed the younger generation of defender owners are sporting trimmed and tidy and shapely beards with reciprocating haircuts. Maybe they should be called the Puma Beard.

This is the regulation 2012 .... 2.2 .... Puma beard as modelled by Defender Mike.

Ahhh, Ummm, Errr,
Are we talking about male or female (or both) owners of Defender TDCI's?

Ummm, there is more hair on the top of your head than on your .......
Oh bugger, don't worry about, I put my glasses on and you're upside down in the photo or you're mixed up or I'm mixed up or something.

[Defender Mike]

Cleverly posted so you can't get a good look and I don't know how I did that:)

[voltron]

Mike has brought something to light. Since they have a 'show us your Defer' thread. Should there also be a 'show us ya Defer Beard' thread.

[Dopey]

Umm, Dullbird, your lipstick is in the wrong place and like Defender Mikes photo, yours is upside down? Or do I need better glasses.


Witch doctor has the colour, but not the length. Needs to get some growing tips from VNX205!

That is about the same length as mine, and yes I drive a puma. :cool:

[PTC]

I have a month long trip coming up in August. I think by looking at this thread that i will need to start working on my beard now for it.

[one_iota]

It doesn't matter...according to my partner: regardless of facial hair we are all "hairy mates".

[Vin Rouge]

Defender with a beard!
