You know you're in trouble when your internet home-page is Land Rover

[Tony2]

As you all have probably gathered by now, I am a prospective Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon buyer.....

I'm really concerned by my wife's attitude....her response was....."Don't sit on the fence, just go out and get one", and then, "All those fancy switches, levers and thingy's on the "P", you never use anyway".....

Something just ain't right.......:bat:

I've always wanted a Defender since my first drive in a Land Rover (year was about 1984)....I have "great" memories of that car....:whistling: but no further details as my wife is reading over my shoulder as I type.

I recently test drove a new diesel "P"....yep, a stonking 147kw and 441NM of torque...really impressive across all facets...but....I'm still so drawn to the LR...it's such an "engaging" drive, plus I like having my right elbow out the window even if it's raining.

I've read all of the concerns, reliabilty issues, etc with the LR but at the end of the day it just doesn't bother me much.

So the big question is really (insert drumroll).....who likes Arctic White ?:rolleyes:

Safe driving.

G'day mate.

I know where you're coming from - I got bitten by the bug in '88 and first drove a Defender in '93. I still want one! Bought a '91 V8 Disco in 2002 and love it.......but still want a 'Fender (actually i'd like a Perentie).

Anyway, Doooooooooooooooooo it!

And tell the wife it's rude to look over your shoulder when typing important stuff - I've told my wife but she ignores me....you can always try.

:D

Matt.

Oh yeah, apart from a camo Perentie, 'white' is the only colour for a 'Fender.

Go for it!

Any colour is a good colour for the Defender .... as long as the ROOF is white!

Cheers,
Daniel

Yes, it all feels soooooooo right.

Just need to sort out some minor problems.....like knock the carport down to allow entry...:eek:

Actually I've solved this problem as the wooden support beam is about 12" high.....I'll notch out 50mm or so across the whole length.

You've already passed the biggest hurdle then... Ownership is almost guaranteed I suspect :BigThumb:

Do it Defenders are the best ( I got a white one and love it to bits )

So the big question is really (insert drumroll).....who likes Arctic White ?

Is there any other colour for a vehicle??

Nope!

Not a problem!

cheers

And may my D130 CS be white?
