Thank you for making the point I was hoping someone would make.

Very welcome, the point has been made before.

I (as I suspect many others) didn't buy a Defender because I needed one. I don't shoot, farm, I am not a range warden or work for the Forestry Commission, I suffer from mild OCD and even as a Marine Electrical Engineer I don't do dirt very well! In comparison to many others I probably do pamper it. It is clean and looks very good for a vehicle that is nearly 8 years old. I have always looked after my possessions and even my work tools get a weekly spraying and wipe down. 'Look after them and they will always look after you' is what I was taught.
Alternatively if I needed to 'fit in' I could possibly buy a chequered shirt, flat cap, Barbour Jacket and perhaps a pair of Le Chameau leather lined wellies (like the pair you were selling RD) at £300 a pair, smear myself and my Land Rover in the excrement of some farm animal and start sucking on a wheatsheaf and speaking like a Wurzel, but I don't feel the need or desire.

Mud tyres look cool! My Coopers however were a bit too noisy on the road. KM2s are a damn sight better.  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!!

BFGs and Coopers. This is a company I have used recently and would use again! Price obviously does not include fitting but in my opinion the BFG KM2s are quieter than the Coopers by a long shot having swapped from one to the other recently.

From September....

I had Cooper STTs and swapped to BFG KMs. The Coopers are horrendously noisy in comparison.
