2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS DCPU Rimini Red

A Puma Crew Cab in Portugal

After a SIIA 88 Regular (1964), got a brand new Defender Crew Cab in May. Love it. 15.000 km on the clock. I use it everyday.
Have been customising it a bit. Looks and comfort essentially. Some call it the Defender "Vogue".

Are the tracks you're driving on open to the public? I think I have to go to Portugal then this summer to explore some tracks.
I might come back to you about this while planning my holiday to see were the nice tracks are. Roel

1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001)
1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)
2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.
2003 90 Td5 (2009-now)

Yes they are. I don't know many of them. I use 2 or 3 of them near home when I have an hour to spare. Probably not enough for holiday planning.

Signing off and moving over to the Discovery forum with the purchase of a D3 TDV6 SE Tonga Green.....
Will miss the Defender but my wife and for sure my ageing mother and mother in law will be happy! Boldly going nowhere

A local guy recommended by the Jaguar/Land Rover dealer.
I have ordered the leather for the Discovery today. I will do exactly the same: 2 colours beige and black.
Melvill and Moon covers for the summer. Boldly going nowhere

You mean to say that your wife, mother and mother-in-law came before your Defender when you were forced to choose?

Are you mad?

Maybe I'll track you down in the future.

We spend a few weeks in Portugal most years and I want to get the Defender down there soon (might have to send my wife on a plane though).

Glad to see you've stuck with the LR family.

Bon chance. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

Might get a Series again at some point or a 90 soft top just for me......

That would be awesome! Only limiting factor is that our second nipper is due in June (it might be a marriage-limiting suggestion to propose a road trip just before/after

).

I'm definitely up for planning something, though. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
