A couple of threads lately have mentioned the bling factor. I have a defender to pull a caravan and transport three dogs. I probably could have gotten a big estate car instead but I wanted a Defender, I'm an ex squaddie an learned to drive in one, I've had two Freelanders and they were ****. I bought a silver limited edition which had quite a bit of kit on I'll probably never need, but of all the ones I looked at it was in the best nick at the right price. I put the side steps on cause me and the mrs are short arses. I swapped all the hinge bolts cause they were rusting pretty bad, fitted the dog cage, put alloy gear knobs in cause the leather ones were falling apart and alloy will last forever. I'm changing the steering wheel cause I like leather ones. Other landy drivers are gonna see me drivin round town and think look at that prick but what to do? F**k em. I still get a wave though.
