I work for Jaguar Land Rover, there was a pretty impressive display of Defenders in the Gaydon car park on Friday last week. with a huge crowd of employees around them.

One of the Landies in the penultimate photo looks a little silly, with small tyres on three spoke Rangerover rims.

That one is actually pretty interesting, i know the guy who owns it. It has a Lexus V8 in it! And is appropriately loud :D

I've always like the Defender, but never to sit in or drive, and definitly not to have an accident with.
Depends. A mate hit a telegraph pole at about 40 in one (60 limit road but he'd scrubbed a bit off by the time he hit). The LR needed a bit of fettle with a sledge. The occupants needed a beer. RIP the telegraph pole. It was so new it was still bleeding creosote. Poor thing, taken so young. Sniff :upset:
