New toy!
Hi all,

Although not new to Land Rovers, ive never owned a Defender!
So i took the plunge, sold the Discovery2 and brought a TDCI 90! WOW what a toy!

I have had Discoverys for years as i thought it was the "sensible option"!!
Wished i brought a Defender years ago now!

I still have a 80" and 86" series 1 for the "grin factor" but loving the 90! Razz

Look forward to talking more Defender very soon!! (great forum by the way) Thumbs Up

Welcome to the land of Defender passionistas Ian... Bow down

I dumped my RRS for mine just a few months ago and, like you, seriously wish I had done so years ago... Big Cry

But heyho, we're in it for the win now and making the most of it... Thumbs Up

By the way, you have my second dream truck in that '52 Series I... Bow down

Pics would be most excellent at some time (soon... Laughing ) and much appreciated... Whistle  Rog... Mr. Green

Land Rovers are very much under my skin! in 1996 at the grand age of 25 i fully restored a 1975 2 door Range Rover (and wished i still owned it looking at the prices of them now!)

I consider myself very lucky to own an 80" (always wanted one) let alone the 86"

But the 90 is the icing on the cake Thumbs Up 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Lovely 90 but you can't beat a Series Landie Thumbs Up

Pickles the wheels are LR BBS split rims to fit Disco 2, the part number is RRC500150MNH, they'll be fitted using a hub converter to match the bolt pattern.
