We are currently out in Namibia, putting the new @LandRover_UK Defender through its paces. We can’t say how it drives let’s just say all is well. https://t.co/IISU7wNDzB https://twitter.com/FlatOutMag/status/1229503770578620418?s=20

We’ve landed in Opuwo, Namibia... these were on the strip to meet us. Three day trip, but no driving impressions until the end of March, will try and tell you what I can! https://t.co/9JxlFOLPHv https://twitter.com/jack_rix/status/1229361624080883713?s=20

Those winch bumper efforts look so rubbish.

Looks like a good work jolly though. WARNING.

Why has the bloke in the third picture set his head on fire?

I like the last picture best, a typical Land Rover scene. A broken down 110, abandoned, with the journalist completing his journey on a donkey. Laughing

What struck me on that photo was the amount of windscreen on the passenger side that was unswept, is that normal for a modern vehicle?

I think he's reporting back to Gerry at HQ, in a 3rd rock from the Sun sort of way...

Ah, that could be it. I wondered if he had been reading the electrical section of the workshop manual about the 85 ECUs and their data bus and his brain had caught fire.

It's a press launch, so expect glowing reviews from these scribes:

Gavin Green - Car Magazine
https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/opi...vin-green/

Leon Poultney - Freelance
https://www.leonpoultney.com/about-me/

Nic Cackett - Autocar road tester.

Sean Carson - Chief reviewer @AutoExpress

Jack Rix - Deputy Editor of Top Gear



New Defender, lighter than it looks...
