yoodoo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 You know what RM , I was stuck on buying a Landrover Countryman or Defender .That was my goal a few years ago but then , the farmer I used to work for got one and I drove it once , my plans on buying one quickly went out of the window. Ok , I know they are a 1950's design and not changed much over the years but jeeze they are a job to drive. When I got in one I thought "where is the rest of it?" I now know where the expression 'Farmers arm' comes from.I had to drive it with my arm out of the window as the clearance was made for midgets and not someone with broad shoulders... Good side....my right arm was sunburnt...bad side , walked like quasi modo for an hour after I had got out of it. J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not looked into the spec but I thought these have the same chassis, suspension, engines etc? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 In the defender range yes. Basic spec is front seats in plastic , Luxury spec is front seats in cloth and thats about it lol I would never buy one as there stupid money. My D2 will go anywhere a fender will at half the cost and 10x the comfort 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J That's because it's a truck cab and you can't move the seats back like you can in a hard top or county, and yes they are a marmite vehicle I happen to like marmite and have had 3 defender's. And as RM points out they are silly money and going up in value! Edited February 11, 2018 by shaunm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J It's all relative if you can move the seat back you get more elbow room I do understand its tight against the door that's fixed with a smaller steering wheel, and yes I also know the defender is one of those vehicles you either get or not lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoodoo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I must be doing something wrong on it then. I get pictures of peoples dinner , before and after and people posting things like bottles of wine/beer/spirits and saying crap like "Ooo, look what I have tonight" Some things are good information but the majority of what I read is not for me. As you say , it works for some but not for me. J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Its all about who you add on your friends list I only have close friends and family but some of the groups im in are very good.
