Where DFNL do they get this tripe from??

The first Series I has now been reclassified as ... a Defender!! I don't think so!!

OSD

The possibilities are staggering wouldn't it be great if they produced a new Defender with all the ruggedness and simplicity of the original Series Landy's but with betterer injun n gearbox etc and even greater reliability.



But will they...... NO





They will produce a bastardized marvel of modern electronic wizardry, probably even call it something stoopid like Centurian, that will fail the first time it's electrics get wet, it will still leak and the doors'll fall off.

hmm hang on int they already done that ( freelander )

(The model would feature an enhanced Terrain Response System. This advanced traction control set-up – which adjusts the engine, suspension and gearbox settings to suit different surfaces – would give the car unrivalled off-road ability.)

(introducing the latest satellite navigation and communication systems).

Oh ****, electric !

What the f**K have they done !

If it wasn't for the EU laws/emissions they would probably had carried on doing what they do
