Well seeing as I took a photo of my defenders shoes yesterday, I thought I should formally introduce her (Lara - as presumably all TR's are affectionately called...) to the forum.

Hope you like her as much as I do Thumbs Up

When I got it (about 3 years ago now)

And yesterday, in the rain at work.

I can't think of a reason either, apart from aesthetics.

I would say that was due to the Defenders turning circle Rolling Eyes ,but I was leaving when I remembered xatzhs had asked for a few photos, so swung in before the gate.....

...that's my excuse anyway! Whistle

Lovely looking motor... always had a soft spot for the TR 110s.

With that parking I am thinking you are Cypriot- they all park in that style. Some how they can take one car and fill 4 spaces!!

Never owned on and I'm sure someone will correct me soon if I'm wrong but no I don't think it's a custom one, its standard on all Tombraider editions. Also it's not a roll cage, it's a roof rack support system I think LR call it, as it's not attached to the chassis. I'm sure that's what I read somewhere!?!

Lovely looking wagon TR51!!! Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!

When you use the term 'roof rack support system' you can prity much guarantee it's the genuine land rover fitted tomb raider spec cage, I mean support system Whistle Russell
