    Thumbs up New "Defender" Magazine in newsagents.

    I was amazed to see this in my local newsagent.
    It is a Defender specific magazine (one off) talking about all things Defender...mainly comprising a collection of old articles from the british "Land Rover Monthly" magazine.
    For anyone (like me) trying to learn about the Defender, the different things owners do with them etc, it has some really interesting stuff.
    Its full title is:
    "Defender, a celebration of the best 4x4xfar"
    Price $16.95.
    Cheers, Pickles.

    I have bought a copy for my iPad. I wouldn't mind a hard copy. I also buy LR monthly for iPad. It works out about $5 a copy. If you don't mind reading from an ipad i strongly recommend it.

    What is the name of the iPad app? Love to subscribe to this as I went to 4 different news agencies and did not have this mag

    Saw this but also realised it was just reprints.

    What's everyone's current preferred LR based read? Used to get LRO but that's 65% advertising for a lot of stuff that's under quality. Haven't looked at the monthly. Won't touch 4x4 action etc

    I've got a subscription to Landrover Owner International, as I got a two year for price of one deal.
    I'm not sure what else is out there, aside from the local.

    I buy LRO international, I know they are full of adds but I always find something interesting in there. I actually started buying them when they first came out and had the full set from the first one published for the first six odd years but have only started buying them again about a year ago.

    Classic Land Rover has recently launched over here, concentrating mostly on pre 1990 stuff (as opposed to bling £100k defenders or winch challenge motors) and whilst only 100 pages or so there is very little advertising, a lot less than LRO and the like.

    Available on iPad also.

    Yes, and what an EXCELLENT publication it is.
    And YES, I know that the "Defender" magazine the subject of this thread is largely comprised of "old" articles, but if you're "new" like me, & know SFA, and ya haven't had the opportunity to read these "old" articles, then this publication gives you that opportunity....and there is a lot of good stuff in there, plus, just about all the Defender specialist parts etc/suppliers are advertising...so you can see what they've got to offer too.
    Cheers, Pickles.
