Ive seen quite a few taking more than one spot but always presumed it was because the owner couldn't drive.

Parking in parent child spots without kids is different though. It's a pretty Censored thing to do. Plus if an irate parent can't get a spot to get their pram out you can bet the 4x4 will be the one to get keyed.

Reliable?
Defenders should NEVER be parked in city parking complexes, they don't belong there ****CENSORED****

Reliable within a few yards of a major highway?

"It's a Defender thing, it's called a "relationship" - lol!






Sure, but a Jeep won't take you anywhere that a Landy owner WANTS to be.

Besides, some of us have never been let down by a Defender, we've just learned to understand them better

Thumbs Up ****CENSORED****

"wranglers are... without any real history"

Sorry, that's the only model which IS a real Jeep (didn't Enzo Ferrari call it the only true American sports car?), as opposed to to the more modern Fiat-based rubbish.

AND it has a longer heritage than the Defender.

Rolling with laughter

No mate, I've driven Defenders through Africa - Namibia, Angola, Congo, Zambia & Botswana - heck, I've even been hit by an anti personnel mine in a Defender driving through Namibia 35 years ago which still crippled along to the next town minus a lot of important bits & pieces.

Aussies prefer Toyotas to Jeep any day of the week, for good reason, but the Aussies who need to RELY on their transport out in the outback very often prefer Defenders. I have never seen a Jeep make it to the outback in Australia, except perhaps a few misfortunate city slickers - there may be one or two, but I sure haven't seen one.

I KNOW I have NEVER met an African OR an Aussie dumb enough to take a Jeep offroad through the outback or the African sub-Sahara

My first Defender was used in an African Safari waaaaaay back in 1974 - and yes, it did break down here & there, but we got it going every time AND we have since learned how to prepare better for trips with Defenders - There is NO vehicle in the world which could TOUCH a Land Rover Defender - it really is the Best 4X4 X far!!

Besides, Jeeps are passenger cars, Defenders are commercial vehicles - big difference just there alone - try parking a Jeep in a loading zone - Defenders are allowed to use Loading zones in Oz & USA ****CENSORED****

Thing is that I have never ever ever ever ever seen any vehicle sporting a land rover badge parked ignorantly Rolling with laughter oh, no, hang on, the opposite of that, all the time. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

The lads at work always mistake the defender as a jeep, must be the wheels. Anyway I have to say my dad had a jeep before the defender, and he had nothing but trouble with it sadly. it was a very nice to drive mind, but a right Censored to get parts for and no garage could read the ecu. Also he never really gelled with it either like has with the defender. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I watched that car being craned out at the time. How the driver managed to end up down there at that angle I'll never know. It went through a whole row of wrought iron railings on the way down.

Parking like that would be a piece of p!ss for a Landy owner but if he was a REAL Landy owner he'd have got back in & driven it back out of that hole!!

I'd say that was a Jeep owner in a borrowed Landy lol ****CENSORED****
