I assume you meant you swapped the Merc and not the plane for your new truck...
Very nice looking motor Stacey, may you have very many years and miles of enjoyment together...

Hello
First trip to work today and it was great, Radio 2 playing Bond tunes on my way in was great (love bond films) Great being sat high up and I'm getting used to changing gears again  |

I would have stuck with the Hercules C130K Mk3. A very reliable workhorse, if not just a tad more uneconomical than the Defender.
May I ask where the photo was taken please? Worked on the 'Fat Alberts' for many years.
Lovely truck too! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

She's a beauty.
Better fuel consumption than a Hercules too! There's not many vehicles you can say that about.  |

Given you have had to hand back the C130 (even with the ride-height, skydiving will now be very difficult from the 110) but have at least chosen a 'stealth black' version for your new Defender, may I suggest fitting one of these just as a nod to the C130 Spectre? It will provide some 'context' to the Bond music....
No doubt someone on the forum will suggest how you might fashion a remotely controlled mounting for it from a spare shopping trolley, parts from a ZX Spectrum and some double-sided sticky tape... Monsieur Le Grenadier

I would love that ^
Imagine the fun I could have with Sunday drivers.... I already feel as though I could drive over them
I'm sure I've some spare computer parts and maybe even an old Atari joystick |

They are simply extraordinary, but only 20mm so as nothing to this, as used on the A-10 Warthog:
But the 20mm Vulcan will be more manageable in the 110, as the Avenger weighs approx 2t and is so powerful you'd knock the 110 over. You can see why when you see the Avenger's round next to a stock rifle round:
Amazing to watch an A-10 fire one of these things, (and yes, it does sound like a fart...brrrp, brrrp  ) but it would be handy if the pilots that I witnessed could actually hit their targets, which neither could despite a handful of attempts. 
So for now, stick with the Vulcan and mow down those Sunday drivers Monsieur Le Grenadier
