kaa45 Yeah, must have borrowed it. No REAL landie owner would be so rude! .....Maybe so as like I said was side by side at the front the queue at the lights and he was embarrassed to see another 130 there freaky stuff lol
I believe the case is more that people who own these vehicles are probably not even aware that Defenders are made by the same company. This certainly was the case when the first Discoverys made an appearance, but as Diana has pointed out, many of the older Discos etc are now with enthusiasts.
