It's right 'orrible that is Black would look far better

Yes it's standard.

Whats with the weight issue of the 90 ?

I drove the single cab HCPU today and ho har had his knees jammed against the dash in the wagon....it still has the bulkhead in the duel cab would have been better for him....ZD 534 & Mrs ZD had that one...saw lot of AULRO people there

good to drive through all the mud


the car trailer was a bit diffucult to park though



Mrs ho har

Must admit the canopy on the dualcab looks better in the flesh than the pics above

I had my drive of the 110 HCPU (bit tight on room those singlecabs)... then hijacked the 110 DC for a spin to see what a real factory 110 DC feels like (much better being able to put the seat back).

Haven't driven a Defender3 before but must admit quite a nice engine that puma... oh and the anti-stall is brilliant on them... oh and hooning along in 6th gear low-range Seats still same comfort level which is good, rear seats are a bit hard and upright though, glad i don't sit back there







While I was there, also had Philco, The ho hars, Zulu Deltas, Inside and a non-GCLRO member SEQfisho The LR people were rushing off to catch a flight down to Adelaide for tomorrow drive tests... have fun!!!

Why would the ADRs disqualify the 90 for being too light? Seems a bit stupid when everyone is trying to reduce weight to cut fuel consumption.
Did one of those LRs have BFG ATs on it or are my eyes failing me?

Nice pics people.
Like that doublecab,what do they call the colour? Looks great in the pics.

IIRC, it's too light for it not to have airbags. They would either need to put airbags in it, or make it heavier... I think!?

110 DC colour is Stornoway Grey (Metallic)

actually the Keswick Green on the 110 HCPU was quite nice too... pity about the boring white one
