As cool as the Defenders look, I have seen far too many broken down/getting worked on, to take one over a Land Cruiser. They do look badazz though. A Land Cruiser or a Hilux for me.


Damn, that one had been in the water such a long time, I missed the take! grin

In truth, I *really* want to like Landrovers, but they have so many issues, I can't envisage ever buying one...

Production of the Defender in the UK is coming end shortly, and rumour has it the factory is being stripped and all the machinery is going to India, where it will resume production for the 3rd World market only. There is speculation they will revert to using a simpler earlier production engine, possibly the 300 TDi.
