Hmmm!
Seems like the Defender hasn't been listed on the site. (http://www.myswag.org/gallery/d/9467-1/Screenshot_001.png)

I wrote them a few months ago to remind them that some defenders do have ABS. Obviously got too hard for them.

I can only think that's a good thing, otherwise it might be the only one there with zero stars :wasntme:

Real world crash data from the UK showed that the defender was one of the safest vehicles on the road. (measured as likelyhood of serious injury / number of accidents)

Though that may just be because defender drivers are old fogies who drive so slowly they don't have serious accidents...

You mightn't be the only one with the fastest Defender on the Sunshine Coast. :p I regularly cruse around the 110-115kph mark on the highway...in fact I find it too easy to speed in a Defender! :twisted: :wasntme: :angel: (mind you it doesn't do much for the hearing or fuel economy :o so I try to limit my right foot...)

Edit: I've just made myself sound like a hoon! I'm actually a very safety conscious driver!! :o

And back on topic...I reckon the Defender is one of the safest cars out there - except in a roll over.

Bought a car just the other day,
Man could that baby run,
But you know what they always say,
There's always a better one,

Well I'm about 1.7x your age and my 110 is the fastest 4BD1T in Perth, so there!!!! :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Wasnt the army doing burnouts recently at the ill-fated former Indy event on the Gold Coast?

I saw news footage of an ARMY defender ute with a monstrous header coming out of the bonnet making some serious noise, and looking mean and nasty.... wonder what kind of speed that engine does...

Maybe they will be in the LR showrooms before Christmas?
