2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

We can fit most of our lives into our 110 and still have room to spare (2 kids, a largeish dog, surfboards, all camping gear, etc) - unless yours is a 90, just take less stuff! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

I love Peli cases. They're brilliant but very pricey. For camping I'd want one of their massive chests (or two or three) but they'd cost as much as the car!

I need to take my trailer test (pain in the A) and buy a new widetrack Sankey - all problems solved.

Trailer test, don't tell me you need to get tested before you can pull one ? New one on me.

Is this a new thing ?

Depends when you were born, I was born in 82 and think I was one of the first years to have to do it. If your older you get 'grandfather' rights and get away with it!

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

January '97 was then cut off. I was born in '80 and passed my test in Dec '97 so have to take the test for anything over 3,500 kg GVM car and trailer combined which isn't much use in a 2,100 kg 110 with a 750kg sankey with a ton in it or an Ifor with a series on it.

If you're a half blind granny who's barely driven all her life and is a danger on the road in a 1989 Micra in broad daylight in the dry, you wouldn't need the test. Perhaps I should start a rant in the grumpy old man thread
