Thread: Look What I Drove Today

A Toyota Cruiser driver asked me last week if my '06' Defender was an early 80's or late 70's model.

my girlfriend said the same thing about my mates TD5 Defender.. I was like whatever you do .. don't ask him that!

a few years ago, someone asked me the opposite. never having seen a ute before they asked me if it was the new model

When I told him it was new he said "it hasn't changed with the times has it mate"
Then I told him it was never broken so they didn't need to change it!

" If it aint broke, Dont fix it"

Well 110 utes are a bit thin on the ground in Australia. Even series utes with tubs aren't that common.

I'm surprised nobody has asked the obvious question yet!!

What is it lie to drive barney?

Where was the Pic taken ??

pic was taken out at the museum this morning when they were delivered. the defender is a bit worse for wear, the mechanics have been training on it. the bonnet can't be closed because the bonnet release cable broke and they can't get a replacement in the short term, the oil light stays on and so does the abs light.
phoenix;
it was very nice and most of all familiar to drive, even though i was comparing it to a 23 yr old version, with 2 less gears and no power steering.

So are the new model Defenders here in Australia now ??
