2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Corris Grey

My 90 Puma 2.2, Hi From Manchester

Hello everyone, I'm a new member up in NW England. I've often popped on to search through posts in the past, so thought it was about time I actually joined. I picked up my 2013 Defender early in 2017; a complete change to the little hatchbacks I'd always driven before. I absolutely love it, despite the number of people who ask 'Why a Defender in Manchester?'... because I've always wanted one!! I'm sure I'll be asking a few questions as I gradually do more bits, especially as it gets older and I have to learn more of the obligatory 'keep it on the road' mechanics.

Anyway here's a few pictures from my travels over the past 2 years. So far I've been down to Lands End, up to John O'Groats and from the west of Wales to the east of Norfolk. Any excuse for a road-trip

The day I picked it up:

Nice, good to see you're enjoying it.

Hope you got plenty of security on it as you would know all about them being stolen.

loving the photos and tasteful mods.
I'll try and get some photos of what I personally think would go really well with that wheel and tyre combo........

Thanks guys

Yes that last pic is on the NC500. To my shame, it was the first time I'd been north of Edinburgh and it definitely won't be the last; it was stunning up there.

Yes, I picked some security bits before I'd even picked it up! I've changed all the bolts for security ones, religiously use my steering and pedal locks, security marked the parts, installed driveway bollards, rigged up CCTV and fitted a tracker... beyond that, I figured if someone wants it, they'll find a way... as sad as that always makes me feel

Welcome Rob and a very tidy looking Defender you have kept quiet.

Some really good picture to match, though there is another very keen photographer on this channel, again a very keen eye for the great outdoors, Im sure he will be along very soon.

What you think #Adam17..

Hi and cheers

I’ve got a feeling I might’ve seen both of you around at some point since I’ve had mine.
