Land Rover Lust!

I gotta say, I'm not sure which one I want...

90 - Cool, super cabable off-road but really not that much space inside:



110 - Much more practical, nearly as capable off-road.. just not quite so cool



110 crew cab could be the best of both worlds... or the worst...



Decisions, decisions

I've always wanted a 110.

My girlfriends D90 is leaking oil in my garage!!!!



A constant work in progress for sure, but fun summer rides

... Copley's is pure LR pRon

... I had a buddy in Houston who had a Defender 90 (no A/C, daily driver :eek1 ), that little tractor was fun tho'

unique, nice

If 2/3 seats are enough for you, I'd strongly recommend a 110 HCPU or a 110 Hardtop. The HCPU has a 2meter bed and 1.5t payload.

I had a 110HT. I loved it.

My favourite video:

This is/was mine:

As if I needed anything further to fuel my lust for a 130, I came across this today.
Nice people with a great truck.

130s rule!

Can you imagine doing that in a fucking POS Hummer :huh

If he'd take a first born in trade, I'll talk to my wife and see if we can't start working towards a payment.

Submarine series Landy

The IDF is now using armoured 110s and has been using hummers for a while.

As much as I love landies, in direct comparison the truth is the Hummer can go places the Landie can't.

It is all about the wheels being the most forward part.

And bigger.



That being said try getting the Hummer down an alley!

so why can't you get them then?

The Series II was the last real Landy they ever made....

Are you asking about why Americans can't buy Defenders? I think it's due to the fact that every new car is required to have an airbag... There's a great deal of talk about the law coming in to force in Europe and that it will require a fundamentally new Defender. I think the law comes in to force around 2013.

Here's where the lust really started - doing the Land Rover Experience at Eastnor Castle, and this was the landy we did it in. I honestly think Mavette would trade me in for one!



I wonder how far she can get a Landy to lean over



Or how steep a hill we could go down



The new ones with Traction Control and anti-stall are unstoppable even in the most novice of hands with the most basic tyres. Check out the tyres in the first pic - essentially road rubber!
