Brilliant to be reunited with your 90
Can I ask how you have found insuring a RHD in Canada? I have heard that it is getting ridiculously expensive. |

Sounds like it depends where you are in Canada.
In BC, we only have the one (monopoly) ICBC insurance company. They didn't seem to care at all, thinking about it, I'm not sure they even asked or cared when registering the vehicle. 2003 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Belize Green - "Betty" 1958 Series IIA 109 Station Wagon - "Randolph" - Awaiting Restoration 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon - SOLD 2006 Volvo V70 D5 - Ocean Race Edition, SOLD 2003 VW Passat Estate 1.9TDI - SOLD 2008 BMW 320D M Sport Estate - SOLD 2001 Defender 90 Td5 Hard Top - SOLD |

Great thanks, dont think I'll be back anytime soon! ARB is great. Thought it might be a bit much on a 90, but it adds a reassuring amount of protection and a nice place to mount the extra lights. People also think twice before cutting me up too. 2003 Defender 90 Td5 CSW Belize Green - "Betty" 1958 Series IIA 109 Station Wagon - "Randolph" - Awaiting Restoration 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon - SOLD 2006 Volvo V70 D5 - Ocean Race Edition, SOLD 2003 VW Passat Estate 1.9TDI - SOLD 2008 BMW 320D M Sport Estate - SOLD 2001 Defender 90 Td5 Hard Top - SOLD |

Nice 90.
Hope you've up graded to coolant to Canadian winter spec. I have a friend in Alberta that imported his TDi Disco, it froze before he got it home. |

Few further additions and some photos from last summers trip down to Oregon and also Whipsaw, probably BC's most famous off road trail.

Welcome Adsey, long time no see!
That photoshoot seems like a lifetime ago now, still got my copy in a box somewhere with the CD of photos. I’ve recently got back into defender ownership after a long time out in the four wheel wilderness. Bet you get a bit more snow than we used to on the South Downs.
