    New Defender.

    Cook and I were out on the highways today and saw our first new Defender on West Coast Drive as they now call it. Looked good and Cook was very excited and gave her normal enthusiastic waves even though I have told her to desist because drivers of lesser vehicles don't recognise Discos.....
    I wonder if her enthusiasm means I can start thinking about buying one? "No way" I've told myself, at least not until the lunatic driving public have had their hands on it for a couple of years and the faults the experts miss are found out.

    Gives you time to decide on a colour.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    I'd love a car which wasn't boring old white but hate the thought of how they show the scratches after we've been in the bush. I well remember driving my sister in laws new black RR Vogue through some country lanes in the UK and getting a barbed wire scratch on it.... Oh dear, I only just escaped with my life for that.

    "Cook and I" - that is very condescending - you wouldn't live more than two seconds in my family .

    The Missus (much more acceptable) and I saw one a week or so back and I must say that it looked quite different in the flesh. I didn't mind it at all.

    I could have referred to my dearly beloved as the "cleaner' but I wouldn't be so rude....

    I have spotted 3 so far. 2 in car parks and 1 being loaded onto a flatbed truck along the Sydney - Newcastle Freeway while the family stood by watching. How much testing did they do for this car???? I had a look over a 110 a few weeks back and was surprised at how cramped and dark the load area is after my TD5 Defender and even our D4.

    That is one of the things that put us off, the load area doesnt seem to be much bigger than a D1.
    Particularly after having the D4.
