Is it snowing? Perhaps the inferior German soft roaders have all hidden.

Yea, we drove down overnight and there was loads of snow on the way. Maybe three / four inches which had settled on the autobahn for 40/50 miles.
I reckon I was the fastest person on the autobahn! The soft roaders just couldn’t safely keep up. Really pleased with my new tyres! An incredible amount of grip on fresh snow, slush and on icey bits. |

There is quite a lively Defender scene in Germany. Was that way even before they got trendy
What tyres are you using? |

I’m running the new Cooper Discoverer A/T3 4s in 265.
The 4s’ are the mountain / snowflake symbol version. I’ll do a full write up when I’m back and I’ve had a chance to use them off road, but so far I’m really impressed with them. Kind regards Stu |

We were in Munich two days ago, and were also surprised to see so many (mostly late black 110 SW´s) parked and driving around in the centre of town. Avalon (the Munich LR dealer) must have done a scorching trade on Defenders in 2012 - 16.
Come to think of it, in Hamburg recently, we were similarly surprised to see many earlier (pre Puma) Defenders (often with overland/camping equipment) were parked up in the residential areas. In Germany, where they the authorities are making it as unattractive as possible to run a dated (or less than euro6d) in the cities, it is amazing how many Defenders there are. Of course, once you have a roof rack, tent or raised roof fitted, finding a garage for one in town becomes near impossible. 1998 Tdi 90 SW, 2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MT´s, Recaro CS´s, anorak, wellingtons |

You've really got to take Christmas shopping seriously to travel all that way for a Christmas market.
