Finally collected my new Defender on Friday, so far so good, weekend in Cumbria, 600miles and no need for Land Rover rescue yet.
I'll tread carefully on that thread, if they find out my Defender is actually a planet destroying petrol powered one they'll be even more upset, but in reality electric car owners should be thanking me, all the VED, VAT, and petrol duty I'm paying is subsidising their car ownership.Looks good, now don't go over to the electric car threads, your planet destroying diesel will upset them.

What engine is in the petrol ? Out of interest.
I agree, it's not as practical as the 4 door, but as we only have 2 people (and often 2 bikes) in it for 99% of the time it's no problem.PS looks good in two door form, more like the original
Its way out of my budget , maybe in 4yrs I could stretch to one. I like them , but very pricey compared to the original .
Well that day may come for me , however I need to sink my cash into my house and kitchens and windowsThey are a wee bit pricey, we are lucky enough to be in a situation where we can now afford one, and it may be my last chance to buy a car with a powerful petrol engine.

Just wait until you hear about the subsidising of the oil industry.
I'm sure we could talk about that in many places, but this is really just a thread about the new Defender.
