My Defender Story Hi everyone, This is my first post and hoping to tap into some of the extensive knowledge here as well as contribute where I can. I currently drive a 2011 110 Puma X Tech with some modifications - bash plate, rock sliders, spare wheel carrier, decat, Cooper STT's, seat covers, fridge/freezer... . This is my second Puma, previously I owned a 90 for two years but due two recent additions to our family I was forced to upgrade. Here are some pictures of my 90 first, then my 110.

Your 90 appears to be blue outside and grey inside! Is this the same vehicle, or have I missed something? SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html

ClaudeG Member Since: 24 Jun 2014 Location: Johannesburg Posts: 10	Hello Skip, No tricks, the same vehicle. The 90 was blue outside with grey panels inside, black seats, dash, carpets etc. Cheers, Claude

Hi Claude Sorry... we are not on the same wavelength with this... I meant your 90 looks light metallic blue on the outside...when parked outside, in your 1st photo and metallic grey (also on the outside ) when parked in your garage, on your 2nd photo. Forgive us British we get very confused when that bright yellow ball appears in the sky... it plays all kinds of tricks with our minds Click image to enlarge SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html

Very good looking Claude but one of those 90 boys chiming in - 'upgrading'; from a 90? Never! Earlier comments on other threads about the 90 refer to 'the go' and 'dog's danglies' - now that sums it up. Great trucks - both of them, as long as it's a Defender.

Greetings from Sandton, I'll keep an eye open for you on the road. Heading to the Kruger on Saturday with the Afrispoor Mongoose trailer to go and get dirty and see some animals that are supposed to be wild - this rather than the drivers in our neck of the woods who are supposed to behave. '13 Defender 90 '10 Freelander '13 BMW R1200GS '62 Triang Tricycle Previously '04 R1150RT; '11 F650GS; '98 Defender 110; '03 Defender 90; '02 Freelander
