Amusing bit - County is just a trim level...
i wonder, what ever happened to Dobbo and dulbird??
Ok, I'll bite
I've had both the D1 and D2, (both V8 Auto's)
Now I have the 110 Crew Cab.
First off, I love my Latte's, so don't pick on me
I've done a few K's in the Puma now, (110 funny enough) and I have to say, I'm far from being over the honeymoon stage, I'm soooo much in love with her
.
So, the reason we bought the Puma as opposed to going the D3/D4, was so we could bolt stuff on,, load it up, with lots of water and fuel, and go far far away for a decent amount of time.
And guess what, it works. I'd hate to be drilling into a Disco or Rangie and have crap hanging off all over them. The Defender however is suited to that style, in fact, its almost expected that that will be done. Having said that, we just bought a camper trailer![]()
Cruising around for weeks at a time, the Disco's are just gorgeous, the "Ducks Guts" as they say. Comfy as, with all its gadgets and decent seats, as said earlier, no dust/water ingress. They just chew up the miles flawlessly.
Cruising around in the Defender. Even in the "new" Puma, its an iconic experience, people wave, I drive with the window down, feeling the wind in my moustacheI just love it.
But, I'm nowhere near as comfy as I was in the DiscoI miss the V8 Auto, I miss cruise control, rear lecky windows (aircon for the dog
). But now I can take more stuff, whether needed or not, I can safely carry more fuel in the back, (no throwing smoke butts out from my car thanks very much
), and I just thoroughly enjoy the ride/drive.
Oh, I almost forgot, it does have a cup holder, so I can still have my latte`![]()

You were a tosser?? tsk, tsk
I'll bet Chops can drive a nine inch nail into an iron bark sleeper with one hit, because he sure knows how to hit a nail on the head.
My cup holder reeks of coffee albeit black and I don't take my shirt off anymore because people find the sight offensive.
Cheers, Billy.
Keeping it simple is complicated.
I've had lots of Land Rovers over the years . I fact they have been my vehicle of choice , going though the series models , into a County . I thought you know these Discovery 2s td5 are getting great wraps . So I brought one , It was a quantum leap to the County . I wont go into It's speck , but It did have just about every thing you could wont . Auto modern diesel engine , great economy ect .. But , and It is a big But , for all It's good point's It just wasn't the same to drive . I did like the td5 engine , but I liked the 110 , so I brought a 110 with a td5 engine " Ruby " . The td5 Disco has gone . I still have the county as well, It is very old now almost 30 years , what a vehicle this has been " called the Red Rooter " I will get a new Defender in a few weeks so I will have three . Because of economics It is just not practical to keep all three , so It will be time to say goodbye , my wife thinks I'm mad , maybe she's right !!.. Jim![]()
