United Kingdom 2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Firenze Red
Skiing - Austria
Just back from a week skiing in Austria, the Defender performed faultlessly, the weather on the route back was pretty bad with snow over all three lanes of the autobahn for the entire 13hr journey.

My only modification (other than cruise control) I would make would be some form of baffle to sit between the seat and the cubby box, and the seat and the door. At -20 my arse was freezing even though the heater was on full and my heated seat was on. I used the sleeves of my down jacket, which made a massive difference.

Great pics. and glad the Puma performed. Have you added any noise insulation to thr cab area? I have the Noise Killer kit and it is very warm and comfy. BM52
