Thread: DROVE my first 2007 Defender yesterday..

I still haven't even seen one .

Boss goes for training next week.

Well, back in March I was lined up for a drive in a new Defender at the Landrover Home of the Legend - and the launch date was pushed back two weeks to April.

I then lined up another look at one at Eastnor Castle later that month - the entire press fleet was sent out for detailing.

THEN I was lined up for a test drive on Wednesday - the demonstrator was off getting detailed.

Tried to make a time again today - Demonstrator was off getting its windows tinted.

I'm wondering if I'm ever going to get a go in one. Landrover seem hell bent on keeping them so clean - don't they understand that I DON'T CARE if its dirty!

It was a bit like that here, I kept on at the sales dept so much that they brought it down to work for me to look at and drive etc, and the underbody stuff was still dripping off! Good service though, they rang me to say when they were coming and turned up on time!

Well worth it, an impressive vehicle.

What a beauty, a bit of a torque monster too. Cruising at 110 in 6th, 2300rpm and sooo quiet.
nice dash layout, excellent rear seats, good A/C, close and notchy gearshift, (but only had 45km on the odo.)
The only complaints;
poor lower sill seals on front doors, I can see the road at the front bottom corners!!
still has that useless P38a rear diff,
Alloys are an option for 130

I will be talking to accountant next week, and hopefully a 130 will materialise not long after. (In Tonga green, with cold climate pack and alloys

Also the father in-law rekons they are better offroad than the TD5
