Sure I've seen that big ass somewhere before!
Do you think she'd been run over by that vauxhall before he beasted her?

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…

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.

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.

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.
