Welcome to the high roller club (500+ road tax) Evil or Very Mad

I really like the colour on the utility, suits it really well. On another note i remember that cliff in Skye, was there on holiday a few years back and have a similar photo. Just not with a Land Rover. Any plans for yours? William

not planning on doing too much to it as it going to have to be used for work, already done a couple of bits though.
done the variable delay windscreen wiper mod, put in new ICE with reversing camera (sub on order), roof rack should be here tomorrow, got a scan gauge to make sure all is well and to keep an eye on MPG, Ply lined the back and racked it out. Might change the rear suspension - it's a bit harsh Series IIa Lightweight - Long Gone

skyplumb - Welcome. Nice 110 and colour. Love the scenery too. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

william8 - Nice Focus. Was it an RS or a regular Focus with a few mods? Do I also get the impression the motor puts out a few more horses than standard too? Whistle

Killer90 cheers. Yeah it was putting out somewhere just above 350 bhp with a mongoose exhaust system. Went like the clappers and a great everyday motor too.

I look back and think im daft, but the 90 is just more practical in every way apart from getting to a to b in a hurry Very Happy

Im looking to make my defender a nice shiny example. Right now it has all the mechanicals but the cosmetics aren't quite there. Needs a good polish too Cool William

No your not and your right they are extremely practical. At least your licence will likely stay more clean. Laughing Remember slow and steady wins the race. Thumbs Up

Eventually in the case of the Defender Whistle  Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

I dont know, with this JE Engineering suspension setup my trick is to keep the speed up in the corners. It almost grips like the RS with the all terrains Twisted Evil William
