As I am new(ish) here I think I will wind my neck in and shut up!
I still stand by my comments, but didnt realise they provoked such a strongly negative reaction by some, so, suitably chastised I will not mention them again!
I gues they are like marmite, you love them or loath them!

I've been meaning to show to post this piccie for a while. I took it with my phone whilst shopping at Wickes.
Seeing as this thread started with Jeep stuck in sand, it seemed appropriate to show a piccie of how to get sand into a Jeep (and yes, before he drove off he had emptied the whole 850kg bag into the Jeep).

Think somewhere along the lines of 75% of all defenders ever made are still on the road today. They are really uncomfortable and noisy but I love them. Mine attached:-)

I disagree. It'd make an attractive child's sandpit.
However, he'll be pissed off when his child comes in bright orange from the builder's sand..

Does that mean a quarter of every Defender ever made has fallen off or that three quarters are lying on the road instead of being attached to the chassis?

You used to be able to buy T-shirts with "I'd rather push a Land Rover than drive a Jeep" on them.

shingle and deep pebbles have gotta be the worst, I find speed on approch the only option with that terrain, even the tractor will dig in.
