The New Defender

Just cancelled our order.

Mrs Tombie and I have decided not to buy more vehicles, rather spend more time doing what we enjoy.

New Hybrid Camper on the way and a few more mods will see us golden for another 5 years.

Need another sig change Tombie....

Good to see you have made a decision,i know it wouldn't have been easy.

We are umming,ahring,and back again.[bighmmm]

Need to have a good look at the new beast before we commit,make sure it is what we want.

Our lives are changing shortly,retiring from work is not far around the corner....

So we need something that fits into what we will be doing without work.

Not to mention the first series of any model usually has issues to sort

Bugger, not going to be able to buy a near new Defender with all the fruit and accessories for half the new price in a couple of years [bigsad]

I’d be guessing with a nice 90 and a solid D4
The $3750 a month or whatever lease payment
You’re not gonna spend on a 2020 Defisco will Go a long way to doing the things you enjoy!

I also have an inkling that in 2025 we will look back as a society on the end of the “teens” as some golden years on a global financial / economic / environmental living costs perspective ???

Yeah... getting older and we both agreed we’re buying it because we could not because we needed to.

So for the first time - we aren’t!

New hybrid camper is on the cards, a few tweaks on the current vehicles and a big shift towards a better work-life balance.

Tough decision Tombie! ...what is the hybrid camper you're looking at? - sounds interesting.

Some questions with the integrated mhev dcdc, will we be able to patch solar into this system, to run fridges etc.

So not having to install another dcdc converter.

Also having a generator, are they less seceptable to water/mud damage then alternators

Also notice how low the electrics are under rear floor, without +2 rear seats, surely there is underfloor storage?
