How I justify my Defender...

My girlfriend loves my Defender and offroading and camping so quite easy to justify getting bits for it means I'm getting something for both to enjoy

Also use it for towing the trackcar and other recoveries.
Use it at home on the farm for going through the fields and pulling the cattle box when need to move them or sell them

Also keeps me occupied and out of trouble at weekends fixing it or offroading when I've nothing else to do

Our Defender actually belongs to her indoors. She gets a more enthusiastic wave from other Defender owners than I get when I drive, her being pretty, blonde and female!

Would you prefer her to be ugly,scarecrow haired and look like a bloke so you get better waves?

From behind, it would make no difference

Try telling her that, but you may want to phone an ambulance beforehand.

Phoning an ambulance would make things worse. She's a Paramedic!

Haha these comments just broke me can't stop laughing

Been out preparing for the supposed cold spell. Had my eye on this tree for 18 months or more. Coming home to daddy



Took two trips to get it back


The wheelie bin is a third full of saw dust but the wood feels nice and dry


Just needs splitting and it can join the rest in my old pig pen at the bottom of the garden that's now the wood store



Should last a good few weeks

Mine's only a cheapo one from machine mart but I bet we've put a few tonne of wood in it over the past seven or so years we've had it. The grate has started to disintegrate. My stihl chainsaw has paid for itself a few times over as well, I did have a cheap one from Argos but I shook it to bits in a fortnight but the stihl's been fantastic

I've ate me pig that's why I've got a spare pig pen. There's actually 2 pig pens, evidently most of the houses around where I live used to keep a pig

I int as old as you. I always thought tratterers kept pigs as pets. Not for anything else.

See @Hippo another reason why tratters are far superior to hippos







Maybe I shouldn't have worn my nice new work uniform





You couldn't get that in the back of a hippo without knackering your nice carpets and indoor pool. Had to put me pig in the front though.
