2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey

Thanks, it was an amazing trip and heading back to Coral Bay and Exmouth in April (less windy, great snorkelling).

One interesting observation about that trip is how few Defenders I actually spotted (only 2 over 3 weeks). While I always knew the north west was covered in white Land Cruisers, I did expect to see a few more LRs. Mineoften caught the attention of locals! So Outside of the UK I'm wondering who else is buying them in significant numbers (for civilian purposes). Don't get me wrong, I love being the odd one out, I just hope the Defender really does survive, only because I'd like to buy another one in a few years time.

BigMike - Thats a Thule Bike Carrier.

Defender75 - Running 265/75 Cooper STTs, love them.

Defender75 - On road they're much quieter than you would think. I've been told that because they're a rounded shape, they're actually quieter than the squarer, Cooper All Terrains. Very happy with look and feel on and off road and no flat tyres, yet!

Did you have to modify that bike rack to get it to fit?

We are heading along the Ane Beadell track in May and up into the Pilbara to the coast for 10 weeks.
The Anne Beadell will be interesting, they say the corrugations are horrendous

Howdy. I was having a look at your setup. Re your ROLA roof rack, what is the length/width. What 1/2 ladder did you go with?
