Had mine as my daily drive for over 10 years. I sometimes drive our P38 Rangie to work, and although it is warmer, comfier, sounds much better, more power, etc, I still really miss my Defender on those days! Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

Hey everyone I was just wondering how many of you use your Land Rover as your daily driver.


February 2008, I didn't have a Defender yet. But I can now report I got myself a 130 as a daily driver. Just had its first service and I really like it!





Thinking of it, with just 7 posts I guess Layla17 already left the building long time ago? Mr. Green

My wife use the Defender as a daily driver (30 miles per day).

I work at 45 min walking from my house (a luxury here in Santiago) so, I use to walk and a 2nd car is not needed Mr. Green .

Ha, indeed - then it was Generaldej who picked up this thread after 5 years Smile
Wonder how a thread suddenly becomes active again after such a long time... See it happen more sometimes on other forums too. Cheers, Vincent

Daily driver, oh yes in fact any chance I get I take the DEFENDER. Why slum it in something inferior! You only have one life, live it....forget the cost.
