My 14 yr old daughter often pleads with me not to use the DCPU to drop her places. "It's so embarrassing"... "Why can't you use Mum's car?" etc. My response is normally "we could take the 101 if you like".
I offered her the opportunity to help fund a privacy tint on the 2nd row windows. As you can imagine this didn't go down too well... ![]() But then on one such trip she was accompanied by a friend whose first words on climbing in were "This car is so cool", which was a gift to me because I now have ammo to rebuff the moaning ![]() |

That's probably only because you sold the 110, bad dad! ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge My kids love the Defender's, their friends even tell me off if I pick them up in eurobox! Not sure they've got to the age where image matters yet though! ![]() MY2012 110 2.2TDCi XS SW Orkney Grey - http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic43410.html MY1990 110 200TDi SW beautifully faded Portofino Red - https://www.defender2.net/forum/post743641.html#743641 MY1984 90 V8 Slate Grey - https://www.defender2.net/forum/post744557.html#744557 Instagram @suffolk_rovers |

The Defender Ninety was the only vehicle on Top Gear's Super Cool Wall from the day they created it to the bitter end of the series. Show your kids a few re-runs.

Good news, 24 hours on and no discernible change - she’s not monosyllabic, not stinking, still more interested in sport, music and study than boys. My work is done? It should also be noted that when a friend turned up in a new RR SVR at the weekend, my daughter chose to go to the P2P in the 110, unlike my son who jumped straight in the SVR. Definitely a case to be made for a favourite child

^^^ must admit I think I'd have gone in the SVR, they do sound amazing!

Yep it was a great sound. Not sure I could bring myself to shell out £120K or whatever it was (is an Autobiography about that?). My P38 felt decidedly from another era after a spin in the SVR. My era though.

Perhaps I didn't mention she learnt to drive in it (the basics) before taking her driving lessons which apparently made the car 'easy' in comparison! 1984 One-Ten CSW 2010 XS USW (sold) 1957 Series One 88 diesel 1958 Series One 88 4x2 |
