    I thought Discos had tables at the rear so English Sloan Rangers could have a brew (nothing wrong with that) in the car park while little Daphne and Roger groomed their nags, played polo and flirted with royalty.

    I grew up fly fishing in Scotland ..... but it's been a long time between trips

    I have actually fished with flies at Barrington Tops, whilst camping. Nice little trout there .... very yummy.

    So to be frank I don't have any idea but I do remember that the coffee was pretty good.

    That was Paul.

    Hint: there was a discount on buying ROK in CoffeeSnobs if anyone is interested.

    Back to the definition of off roading, a day of play green laning, playing in the mud or sand, or operating cross country doing heavy duty work, be it UN, Utility Services, or Emergency Services, too very different functions
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    My bet is the new Defender will be a good bit of gear and very capable off road. Why? What's the use of building a dumbed down Disco and then calling it a Defender. It they did who would buy it?

    Most think the present Disco chassis will be the base of the Defender and it might be and seriously they could do much worse, but only time will tell.
    Cheers,
