SupporterOur eldest daughter arrived home for Christmas yesterday evening (Christmas Eve) in her Defender 90. She got the 90 last year and it is her first car. It is not festooned with fluffy dice or scented air fresheners but filled with other stuff. The photos will speak for them selves. She maintains her 90 is a working vehicle and well the photos bear this out.
For Christmas her boyfriend bought her a boiler suit ...yep a boiler suit and it was very well received. The logic behind this being that when her college course gets back to being held in a bricks and mortar setting instead of on line (she is studying speech and language) she can go and attend to her horse before going to college by putting on the boiler suit then removing it when she has finished her horsey business and head straight to college.
She says that she does wash the 90 but a day or so later it ends up looking "normal" as in the photos.
There are photos here of her shifting bales of bedding in the back of the 90 and even a cement mixer. She has just told me the recently she shifted cow dung. The cow dung was in bags she hastened to inform me.
Just prior to Christmas she managed to pass her trailer test. Now it seems that a horse box is on her radar. A definite possible forum member in future years methinks!
Anyway " Nollaig Shona Daoibh". (Yeah that's Happy Christmas in the local vernacular)

Nice looking vehicle, your daughter sounds like a real country girl.
A "Trailer Licence" sounds interesting.......what is involved in obtaining one of these and what will she be qualified to tow?
Cheers, Mick.

SupporterIt will allow her to tow 3,500kgs, provided the vehicle is rated for towing this amount by the manufacturer. The test involved manouvering for parking and towing on busy roads. Anyway she passed first time. She is taking this Land Rover business seriously and going about things the right way.Originally Posted by mick88

Please explain why you have Sunroofs in your part of the world?
It's something that has always befuddled me, why have Sunroofs were the sun doesn't shine?

BTW Nice car except for the Sunroof!

I agree about the sunroof. Personally I don't like them. I also think they can be a danger when driving. The odd day that the sun does shine you could be tempted to gaze in wonder at this unfamiliar object in the sky through the sunroof, thus taking your eyes off the road.....

SupporterFor the same reasons so many sports cars are made in UK & attach wood on out side of a Morris Minor Traveller .Some were else to grow rust & cause water leaks , that way you need to replace your vehicle sooner .

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
