Having the luxury of working from home I do not need to perform a daily commute. However whenever we are out/about we tend to take the Defender even though we have other vehicles we could use.
We find it perfect for the country lanes of Ayrshire, seeing over the hedges and the friendly waves of other Defender drivers (although L663 owners tend not to wave). - Land Rover S2a - Defender 90 SW (For Sale: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic92224.html) |

Still my daily driver if just me or with my wife.
Sadly, my parents and in-laws are now struggling to get into the Defender so using my wife's X1 when we need to drive them somewhere. |

Every day for me. Too and from work. On a weekend it's my lads rugby changing room and then when I have some time off its our camping hack.
Bit of a bussmans holiday though when you work with them every day too but couldn't bear to drive anything else. |

Daily drive, and work vehicle. Does everything I need
Only thing I don’t use if for now is the long holidays as now have camper van. But I miss it whilst using the camper. |

Used it nearly everyday for last 22 years for everything.
Have to use wife's car when we have to go to Norwich as every Car Park has a height barrier. Very 110 unfriendly. |

Still my daily, but since lockdown and the ability to work some of the time from home its not used every day.
We have also now swapped my wife's car for a big estate car to use for the family holidays/longer journeys as just makes more economic sense (and my wife finds the Defender uncomfortable), even if it does make it less of an adventure. 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone 2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone 2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW |

Nice!
Something like them. Thinking of another late 2011 2.4 Puma as I'm already familiar with it. Heck, if I can get it in the same color, so much the better!  |

Mine was until the ULEZ banned it from Glasgow city centre, if I need to visit jobs in town I now take the wife’s new 110. With the ULEZ carry on being introduced across all major Scottish cities this summer I think I’ll be using it even less
