OLLI: Penguin's wife's Defender
Hi all,

After owning for 9 years, with up's and downs, a Disco 3 we thanked it for the years of service.
As it was my wife's car, she had to choose a new one.
She absolutely wanted a defender again and found this one. A 2011 Defender 90 (E ?) As you can see, she's very happy Very Happy

Some mods will happen like tire change. But I'm not allowed to change a lot Smile 28/02 - Loss of a good friend...

That is certainly a tasty looking truck sir... Thumbs Up

Why bother changing the tyres? They look pretty damn fine to me... Question


Does the Penguin not have a truck of his own to play with then?... Whistle

Thanks

300/70/R16 is just a bit to wide. Also, now that the slippery roads are coming, I don't think it's a safe tire.
This a side from more fuel usage and more wear on the moving parts.

Penguin used to have some off-road toys, but is now having fun on 2 wheels Wink
And the company car policy doesn't let me choose a Land Rover Sad 28/02 - Loss of a good friend...

After one month having the 90, we decided to sell it and order a new one.
But a 110 so we can go traveling again like we used to do.

Finally, after 6 months waiting it arrived yesterday:

Seems always not that much when I write it down, but there's always some fiddling and adjustments to do Smile
