Although part of the plan didn't go to plan, I fell in love with the Deafener all over again.

It's a 40th birthday present - to me, from me!

Let the changes begin.....

Very nice - I love defeaners even though they are totally agricultural and rot. I go clay pigeon shooting mainly which isn't a great excuse to convince swmbo that I NEED one. One day she'll sell the horses and lorry so that I can have another FF and a defender for the weekend

I have always fancied one and think they are the quintessential british flag with wheels. After driving an old four pot i decided to admire from afar

Love the colour, what is it?

Really like that Adam.

Have had a few defenders as courtesy cars over the past few years, very quirky to drive.... Nearly
Put it through a road sign, was expecting more lock to be available!!!! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Here's my 110, have a real soft spot for it, noisy and not the most comfortable, the dogs love it with plenty room in the back and so handy for runs to the tip etc. About to spend a small fortune on some upgrades that will get her in shape for the trip to Iceland in summer 16.

I always wanted one.

I was on a friend's estate in Northumberland and we had to split up to go Duck flighting. I was told to take one of the keepers' Defenders. Coming back in the dark, we came to a fork in the road. What the rather dim headlights failed to illuminate was that the road actually branched right and that the straight ahead was a dead end. I realised just in time and swung the wheel to make the right turn as I would in the Rangie.

Mistake. Big mistake.

It was no Rangie.

The combination of off-road tyres and 1940's chassis technology, along with wet Tarmac ,meant that the back end decided it would try to get in front of the front end. I was staring at a dry stone wall that didn't look too friendly and was approaching at 30mph.

Underpants immediately went to DefCon 5.

I caught that slide but the momentum brought the back end round the other way. I caught that too. But I was now in the mother of tankslappers.

I eventually gathered it all up and sorted it out. The chaps' banter in the car was rather absent for the next few miles.

I still like the look of them.

The driving experience? Not so much.

That said I was walking past the Stratstone Dealership in Mayfair and there was a Bowler Defender. I had a quick nose around it. It was £49,900.

If a salesman had walked by at that moment, it would probably now be on the drive...

Thankfully my phone rang and I had to go back to the office.

I'm a huge fan of them and have owned a 300Tdi 110 for 10 years.

Recently, I had a new 90 Tdci as a loaner and really didn't like the way it drove. 1st gear was way too low and the 1st-2nd shift horrible. The power band was far too narrow and it only ever felt settled on a motorway. Such a shame.

I've spent a lot of time and money making my 300Tdi drive well and it showed against that 90. I wanted to love that 90 but couldn't wait to get out of it. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Congratulations mate and very happy birthday as well
