When I had my 15 minute test drive in June it was in a Gangsta Edition D200, black everything including te wheels but strangely it had a white headlining and it looked a bit odd with it. At the time that was the only colour headliner you could had but I see now the 2021 spec has a black headliner as a no cost option.
My last 3 cars have had all black interiors But they have also had a panoramic roof which helps a lot to lighten the inside. One thing I have found with the Acorn interior in the Defender is the seats still get jolly hot on a sunny day! Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Can’t get proper Blue in the Velar, just Byron Blue which is more grey looking at times and when I bought it I had choice of Black or White, it was just going into build and destined to be dealer stock. I often thought Loire Blue would’ve looked nice on the Velar but Gerry though otherwise.
I do grudge paying for a colour to be honest, if I can’t get Blue I take white, though I’ve had 2 silvers and an Orange which went against my better judgement as it was a premium colour.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Hope you didn’t suffer any damage in the storms last night J. We were forecast to have them but they missed us out. I went to Stirling this morning they were mopping up in the city centre and when I visited Sainsbury’s half the store and the back offices were being mopped out, looked like part of the roof drainage system had failed inside the building deluging it. 16 miles west and not a drop of rain or a rumble of thunder.

Click image to enlarge ][/quote] Love the Disco Sport colour combo. You have this AND a Velar or did the Velar replace it? It doesn’t look very old? How old is the Velar? Is that going to be part exchanged for the Defender in March? Sold the Puma Defender and bought a brand new Pangea Green 2020 Defender D240 S with a few factory extras! |

I knew the rain was bad but I’d no idea it was this bad.
I traded in a D4 for the DS back in March 2015, that photo was the day I picked it up, but I really wasn’t a fan of it. So I some how managed to wangle a deal to trade it in for a new D4 also in Loire Blue and it worked out cheaper per month some how, I traded that in for a D5 which suffered with oil dilution issues, so long story short, salesman made me a deal on a brand new Velar, as I didn’t want another D5. By the time I get my Defender the Velar will be 3. I should add the Velar is a fantastic car, I love it, it’s had its issues, but sitting in the Defender felt right, you know how you just get that feeling. |

A months rain in 45 minutes they reckon, also possibly the cause of the awful train derailment near Stonehaven this morning that left the driver, conductor and another person dead and a lot of injured passengers.

Yep really tragic news. I’m not religious, but as the saying goes ‘but for the grace of god...”

Yes I used to drive various models of the mk1 Disco Sport, and while I love it’s looks, I never liked it to drive. I was always unimpressed. But I think the Mk2 is supposed to be much better. I nearly bought a Disco 5 instead of the Defender but I’m very glad I didn’t now. Sold the Puma Defender and bought a brand new Pangea Green 2020 Defender D240 S with a few factory extras! |

 likewise, i actually gave up and forked out for the expedition rack from LR,
something i thought i would avoid cost wise, got to impatient, and want to get the vehicle ready for its lap of OZ as quickly as possible when it rocks up.. If Frontrunner could have given me at least some approximations then i may have held off until it was available.. but got nothing back yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |
