    Get a brochure and keep it...

    I posted this on Defender2. Maybe your opinions will differ but read it and make up your own mind.
    Buying a new Defender?

    If you are thinking of buying a new Defender make sure you get and safely preserve the sales brochure for it. That way in future years you can look at the brochure and compare it to your Defender and see how it has aged. Sort of like a wedding album. Comparing your wife to the photos in the wedding album can prove a bit of a shock. You will be thinking of all of the things you'd like to get remedied on your wife if the warranty was still valid.
    Has the wife's chassis or the Defender's chassis fared better over time?
    Which is smoother to the touch? Odds on that it will be the Defender. Don't forget the body work. I bet the Defender's body work will look closer to the brochure photographs than the wife's does to the wedding album.
    You'll nodoubt remember your first test drive in the Defender but will you remember the first test drive with the wife?
    Your Defender will always let you cover it with soapy water no matter how cold. Try covering the wife in soapy water on a cold day and see what you get.
    You'll always get a thrill running your hands over the Defender's sumptuous curves which will always be firm to the touch. The wife? Well, er.......
    We will always have a friendly informative forum for the Defender with all it's subsections. Imagine having a forum for the wives. Think of the questions in the maintenance section. The technical section would'nt bear thinking about.
    Me I've just been comparing the tdi brochure and the wedding album. Guess which photos look more like the present model?

    Direct descendants are:1969 Range Rover, 1989 disco, 1994 freelancer(which is what happens if you smoke when preg or male trying to concieve)
    Then you have the illegitimate ones who go t some LR DNA. BMW X5 and X3 ( hdc tc etc.) fords ranger(tc and the 3.2 puma def should have got) and their territory tdv6.
    And now we have the evoke which is what happens when a dna expert gets to a freelanders genes.
    I just wonder what the tata lr relationship will result in?

    Married but the wife does not check AULRO!
    To balance things up I've added a "Wives can be useful" thread.
