Yeah I know, I built it from a load of bits spread around the garden and until a few weeks ago I never thought of selling it. I love it but as the saying goes 'it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand'

Yeah, Defenders are stupid money but even in the last 5 years series prices have rocketed. Parts are an issue with older jeeps as freight costs are high at the mo. I never understand why there's so much antagonism between land rover owners and jeeps. I used to get it all the time with my last one.

It's vice versa with jeep owners too, I think its because jeep owners wind up about land rovers unreliability but s1,s2,so and defender were reliability. And land rover owners say about the more important things in peacetime that land rovers did compared to jeep

Bacon butties, cold beer and F1
Just watched moto3 the wind should make an interesting moto gp.

happy Sunday folks

My first land rover...

Broke down when I cooked the engine at a pay and play site...
My Defender only broke down a couple of times which were my fault not maintaining it properly...

My discovery I don't think ever broke down

And my series is simple to work on.

Chassis rust is their biggest issue. The jeep chassis is a different design and doesn't hold all the crap in like the box chassis on land rovers

Gottid me strip of aluminiumuium. Last one int chop. Still int gottid me wug doctor. Nice trip too and from chop via country side. Ma hippo enjoyed it anorl. Never missed er beat.

Still got my dinky dodgem for daily use

The cj and the series both do 20'ish to the gallon so running wise they're pretty comparable. Can't afford both though unless you lot start drinking more cravendale
