New Land Rover Defender?

[Ukjay]

And unlike clives, it hasent lost £20,000 in 12 months

I know, I was messing with Clive, but the net resut is we both appreciate the benefits of what others do not understand is a fun vehicle to drive. For me - I always get out of it happy!

I hope it’s good too. I’m getting one. My ex wife had my old one. Although it was rubbish in so many ways, I also have so many funny stories about it.

Presume you mean the Landie in that sentence

What does that get you, an early spot on the build schedule? I emailed the local dealer about a year ago and didn't get a response.

I had a ride in a newish defender the otherday. What a horrid thing compared to my ford pickup. And this is coming from someone who used to be a big fan of them.

You don't get friendly waves from Ford PU drivers - or anyone other than Defender drivers

Car salesmen and emails. Doesn’t normally work. Even if you email them “I’d really like to buy x”

I have never seen the merit in the Land Rover (Defender) nor why everybody thinks they are so marvellous. Has to be one of the most cramped, dangerous and uncomfortable vehicles, on the road or off.

The Discovery One and Two were far more practical vehicles that were every bit as good as a Landie off road; they had more interior space and comfort, and also had the added advantage of being a practical mode of transport that didn’t necessitate the driver to be a masochistic and anorexic contortionist dwaarf.

Oh god! I’ve just realised I’m in a debate about land Rovers! Oh the shame.

I'm staying out of this debate, because I know people are going to say "ffs" not again
















Just get a Landcruiser, either 70 Series or 200 Series, job done , cut the bullshite.

Those early disco’s handled like a plastic duck in a fast flowing river. Remember test driving one and nearly rolled it on the first corner.

I don't want to sell it on, I fancy a smart replacement for the Amarok which will have 150k+ miles on it by the time a Defender arrives.

No I don’t think they will be much of a pay check but early deliveries will without doubt have premium as production is rumoured to be limited and on same line as Range Rover sport etc
