Anyway I was at Southerns at 8am and was on the road out of there by 9. Spent Saturday morning showing my elderly parents and taking them for a drive to my sister's. They gave the access mode the tick of approval. My Dad is 97 and climbing into the Defender was a bit of a trial for him:)
After doing the suburban tour I took it down to a mates farm, we drove down some fire breaks and through some paddocks to play with the modes. So by sundown it was covered in black dust and some cow poo. Sunday it was washed and I headed back to Perth.
400km:D:D
I'm so pleased, I loved my Defender but this car just eats the miles in total comfort, music playing. It is silent except for a bit of wind noise. Amazing. When I got back towards Perth and the traffic on the free built up, I was fine with it. Slowed down, let people in, kicked back and relaxed.
I'm going to do a lot of miles in this car.
