Defenders Everywhere.

Over here, you see many of them, in fact you will see three times more Defenders than Toyota Land Cruisers.

As some one said in a post earlier, they are a great 4X4 for true 4X4 use. That is why I bought one. (guess the kids will have to get used to the comfy seating :oops: )

I hate 4X4s that have leather seats, carpet, and all the other mod cons you find in your lounge. (no offence ment to anyone just my opion) I want to be able to get in and not have to worry too much about my muddy boots, grubby clothes etc. Having said that I don't want it to look like a pig sty either!

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed in the 4x4 mags the greater percentage of travel articles by freelance contributers are driving Defenders? Latest 4x4 monthly, Defender at Iron Ra. Latest OL, Defender on Ghan Railway and it goes on. Dont know why some of these mags good naturedly slag on them when there pages seem to be featuring more and more of them.

It's because the Defender's sidewings on the bonnet are a great place to stand on!!!

What a waste of what could have been a great car, its like puting a falcon motor in a ferrari.[/b][/quote]

I wonder why he didn't use the Isuzu 4BD1 or 4BD1-T (turbo) that LR themselves used? Maybe the Tojo was cheaper.

Note how the article made comment "Old Landie diehards will be turnong in their graves when they hear a Jap engine is taking pride of place where a Pommy heart should be." The writer obviously hasn'r heard of the Perentie and the Isuzu 4BD1.

I love the 100 inch defender. I want to build one but I don't have any time, money, welding ability, a spare RR or county, engineering skill or an understanding wife.

other than that it's a goer. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

And I have most of the same problems. No wait, ALL of the same problems.
