Why drive a new Defender?

:rulez: :rulez: :rulez: for PICS! :D

I've had a couple of the "Nice restoration job" comments about my Puma. So many people think they stopped making them 10 or 20 years ago.

Get a few comments like that about my Triumph motor bike, which is just a couple of years old, but looks like it is styled from 40 years ago.

I have had the same, i dont drive one though. I was at the police college driving out with some mates and one drove in all kitted up and i commented on how cool it was and they all said, yuk look how old it is. When i told them it was no older then probably 5yrs non of them would believe me. LOL :D

The funniest one I've had was from the younger sibling of a girl I was interested in who said "this would go well in a museum?" I then told them it was only 16 years old and so was younger than their sister! hehe :D ;) The girl loved the Defender...but sadly we didn't go any further than friends...

The other notable one was from a Patrol owner in a mixed off road day trip who just couldn't help himself - "you gota like the Landies...but they're just not up with modern 4wd's" By the end of the day he'd gained a bit more respect for mine! :p

Get complemented on it a fair bit too - plus turn a few heads driving around. :cool:
