The Defender Grylls Edition, yesterday



Land Rover has announced a new special edition Defender, created in association with leaf-eating discomfort enthusiast Bear Grylls.

The new Defender Bear Grylls Edition can be identified by its upper bodywork, which is entirely made of twigs, and its needlessly rustic front wheels. Keen eyed Land Rover fans will also notice that the headlamps have been replaced by fireflies in jars.

Inside, the Bear Grylls Edition dispenses with the normal Defender’s seats and replaces them with four moss covered logs while the floor is constantly damp and covered in insects. Detail touches include a central storage compartment stocked with a mysterious bottle of hotel shampoo and what Land Rover terms ‘Bear’s Refreshment Centre’ which, on closer inspection, is actually a flask of .

The Grylls Edition features a bespoke sat-nav system in which all roads have been removed, encouraging the driver to reach their destination ‘as the indigenous peoples would have done’. Meanwhile, the gear lever has been replaced by a dead sheep’s leg and the steering wheel is held on by a poultice of sap and squirrel turds.

The Defender Bear Grylls Edition will go on sale just after the September equinox and will cost seventeen leaves and a piece of bark including a III yeare warranty and a simply enormous amount of self-righteousness.

Button develops points allergy

Jenson Button, yesterday

There was embarrassment for McLaren today as Jenson Button admitted he has become allergic to world championship points.

‘I just don’t know what’s happened,’ the West Country driver said with a bit of a phlegmy throat, perhaps because of the allergy or perhaps because he always talks like that. ‘I was alright at the start of the season but now if I go anywhere near a championship point I just get really watery eyed and snuffly.’

Button’s strange allergy explains his behaviour in recent races where he has either retired or finished outside the points. ‘Spain was a classic example. I was running in eighth and I could feel myself breaking out in hives,’ Button explained. ‘I had no choice but to deliberately drop back to 11th to keep myself well away from any points. Luckily, suspicions weren’t aroused because the car is .’

Button’s odd condition is the strangest F1 medical outbreak since 2004 when Juan Pablo Montoya developed a very specific dyslexia which make him unable to read any sign that said ‘buffet closed’.
