We gave our daughter our old BX TZD.....same engine but nicely turbo charged and in a lighter vehicle, she didn’t like the idea at first thinking the car was a bit “old” for her, after the first drive in it she absolutely loved it

I had a BX (albeit petrol) and enjoyed loading it with stuff, wheels disappeared inside the arches and people would just look with that 'he's screwed' look. Raise the suspension up, off we'd go

Spoke to Land Rover Experience (I have a voucher to use). Said they should start taking bookings for the Defender around April time. No time limit on the voucher, so I'll hang on till then and join the queue. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

oops, my mistake.  DAVE.

I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel of one. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Defender:

"Toorak Tractor" is the name given to any of the glitzed up chrome-ridden "soccer mum" SUVs often seen driving around Toorak; one of the more well to do suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. From BMW X5s and Land Rovers to Volkswagen Touraegs and Porsche Cayennes, some of them have the raw ability to navigate mountain passes and some of them don't. The point is that for anyone who lives in Toorak, venturing out into the countryside in their glorified tractor is the furthest thing from their minds. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I take it there will be a Defender embroidered safety harness when working on the car roof!
