Sounds a little like my Defender. (after spending a Sunday fixing a few issues...again.) The Jeepskis used to be good off road but I dont think there any left now days they have all rusted away. There was even a club in Queensland.

I think I've seen at least one on the road within the last year - but I noted it because they are so rare!

And the 2 door Rangie on the left has just been relesed and looks pretty much identical to outline, the disco also matches outline, guess what the defender will also do.
