Sure I've seen that big ass somewhere before!
Do you think she'd been run over by that vauxhall before he beasted her?
As for the French - They're always there when they need us!

Excellent quote!!!

Now under Ford Motor Co.'s wings, the next Defender will be built with a new, modern body design on a steel frame. Short-wheelbase, long-wheelbase, and soft-top versions are in the works, although not all might be bound for North America. Gasoline engines will come from Ford: a direct-injection four with variable timing, a 3.0-liter Duratec V-6, and for the U.S. only, a 3.8-liter V-6. Peugeot will supply a 2.7-liter turbodiesel V-6 for Europe.

****e - frigging French Peugeot diesel engine in a Land Rover!
Talk is of Ford shifting some production to the USA as well - not very British anymore is it. Although build quality will probably improve!

And if you hit a bump your flashers won't come on either.

If you hit a bump the engine will put up a white flag and start sounding German

Long live the "Real" Land Rovers that now face extinction at the hands of Soccer moms everywhere…

Here's a couple of pics of my buddy's old Defender.

It's not a good idea to try to beat me back to the main road by taking a shortcut across a low spot in the field in March when you're 3/4 drunk. You're likely to find the Bog.

The Defender was really stuck. And then the ground refroze. The pickup in the background that's attempting a rescue just got dragged forward towards the mess. We ended up having to use one of the big well digger trucks that had a HUGE winch with 300+yards of line on it to pull the hapless Defender out.
This was 7 or 8 years ago, but just last year my buddy Wiley found the Bog at night in his H2. Super Swamper SSR's didn't make a bit of difference.

This was really funny.

It took 4 straps and an F350 to pull it out. I had my Tahoe on this trip or I would have just winched him out.

Wow that is some realy soupy ****!!

Re: Possible new Land Rover Defender
 

Isn't a Tahoe and H2 the same thing?

Or was the Tahoe a 2WD?

If the Tahoe was a 4x4 you could use the straps like the F350 did.

Oh well, at least he got out of it.
