    Yes, that's me. I found the Defender on eBay actually and took it to Nene to work on. The wheels are getting done. No real rush though, get the tree bars on first. Wheels/tyres should be mounted tomorrow or Friday..

    I finally have a Defender!

    I finally got a Defender about a month ago!! Not sure if anybody remembers me getting screwed over by Land Rover Canterbury and asking for advice on which Defender I should go with. I ended up buying the one I had found on eBay, a 61 plate 110 USW with 9500 miles: Getting stripped...

    Which Defender to buy?

    I'm sure a lot of you saw my other thread about getting screwed over by my dealer after ordering a new Defender. Anyway, I'll deal with them when I have some more time on my hands, but for now I need to find a new truck! So here are the Defenders that I've found in my search. Obviously nobody...

    What would you do? (#*$#ed by dealership)

    Nene is actually doing the prep work, I've been in touch with them since I ordered the original car. I'm going to have a chat with them tomorrow about what they have sitting around, but they have a couple that seem to have potential. At the moment I'm actually leaning towards trying to find...

    What would you do? (#*$#ed by dealership)

    I did post it on two other forums, but it is a real post. I'm only interested in a 110.. I will shoot you a message though. Where is the one you're talking about? I am definitely going to call the manager on Monday and try to make it as big of an issue as I can.

    What would you do? (#*$#ed by dealership)

    So, I'll start with the fact that I'm pretty well beyond angry right now, but I need to sort out a solution more than I need to be angry, so let's proceed. Background info (quick version), I'm from New York, left my life there behind to travel full time, been in Europe for 6 months, decided...

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!

    I was thinking maybe I would get one and remove the front cross bars so that I can still use the sunroof. Still TBD. haha, actually.... I was originally thinking that I would get a white one so that I could throw on some UN decals and go into dangerous areas :eek: It's also the height...

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!

    No, that was the one that I took for a test drive. No roof rack. I want to have a sunroof for photography in Africa. Also, I don't want to create more drag by putting things on the roof.

    I ordered a Defender today!!!!!

    No roof tent, I prefer having a small mattress in the back. I know I won't want to climb up on the roof much and I want to have a working sunroof for Africa. Convenience Pack Cubby Box MP3 Input Air Conditioning Sun Roof Side Rails (Black) Underside Protection Dual Finish Alloy Wheel...

    Hey everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm proud to say that I'll soon be the owner of a new Land Rover Defender 110 (Utility). I placed the order here in the UK (I'm from NYC), and I should take delivery at the start of November. I'm preparing to embark on an overland tour...
