Three and a half years ownership for me too, no intention of getting rid either. Especially seeing as I only do around 7k a year.

It's not exactly the same, but I've only ever owned a defender!
A 200tdi 90 to learn in when I was 17.. A 2.4 90 when I passed my test and just more recently my lovely 2.4 110 
Wouldn't dream of anything else instead, if I could afford id have a scooby too! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Funnily enough I've had a few Scoobies too, 5 in fact; 2 pick ups, a Hatchback, a Legacy Turbo and the 1 of the 1st 35 Impreza Turbos into the UK in May 1994. I had that one for nearly 9 years to 16 January 2003 when a lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel in Kincardine (Fife, Scotland) and hit me up the rear when I was waiting to turn into a filling station; the impact pushed me across 2 lanes of traffic and 1 row of pumps into a Fiesta parked at the 2nd row! Luckily the woman who owned it was paying for her petrol or she'd have lost her legs! (ironically she was heading to give a lecture at the Police Training College at Tulliallen, half a mile up the road!). Much to the Police's surprise, the car still drove...

For me that is just a classic Land Rover Defender picture - Green paintwork/White roof and doing what it was designed to do. I am wondering though if today's Defenders are really built to last as long (or will the failure of the expensive electro-trickery and value engineered components consign them to the recycling skip before too long)? |
