The old Defender...

[spudfan]

I was out in the hills last week and believe it or not it was raining, hard to believe I know but it does happen here. I had the 110 Puma with me. By folding the middle row seats forward and using one of the two rear seats I could change in to my gear in comfort before getting out into the deluge. Likewise when I returned from my walk I could change inside the 110 and have some warm tea. I have not seen a new Defender but I wonder if I could do that in one of them.
Sometimes I use the 110 200 tdi or LR 88 and the rear bench seats are ideal for this. Anyway I find the old Defender a very versatile and comfortable vehicle but I will be interested to see how owners use their new pride and joys.

Mad Englishmen go out I the noonday sun - mad Irishmen go walking in a deluge!

The days out are set out in advance so whatever comes on the day....

Sounds like a "Day-release" scheme... You need to bribe the warden. [biggrin]
