He’s just a guy that prolly doesn’;t even now what a REAL series rover is…Prolly thinks the only vehicle with a “Series” attached to it is the Disco. He prolly thinks the Disco is the original land-rover…..lol lol….and has never even heard of a Series I or II or IIA County. He screwed up…but at least he gave the well-deserved 110 a good review.

I have to admit, that’s one NICE looking 110 !! It’s good to see that Ford and BMW didn’t RUIN the Defender! Who knows, with Tata now ???

sheepvl1:
The “world” of global expedition vehicles is really quite small. There is Unimog…Santana 2000…Pinzgauer…HMMWV…and while smaller, Defender and the original Series Rovers (NOT the Discoveries – although they DID do fantastic in the Camel Trophy, if I remember!), have earned a well-deserved spot in that category as well, due to their absolute ruggedness and their load0-carriyng ability (0.88 tons for the “90″…and nearly 1.6 tons for the “110″)…Toyota does NOT belong!!

Finally, a review which actually recognizes the worthiness and superiority of the Series-based Defender.

I don’t know why ppl STILL continue to compare Land Rover Series and Defenders with mere toyotas. Land Rovers have ALWAYS been superior, ever since the japs decided to mimic the jeep and Series I Land Rover way back in 1951 when they came out with the “BJ” land-cruiser. (fitting acronym for it, too..lol).

The land-cruiser has basically turned into a minivan, and looks like one too.

I was almost born in Series I in Tunisia, then Indonesia, Argentina in LR’s (father worked for oil co). Have own business, USA, Texas, is already 25% turnover now, seriously considering moving from Netherlands. My LR 110 stationwagon (per 1990 named ‘Defender 110′) is 26y, exploring if my loyal & faithfull mount can be imported in USA actually (older than 25y). On road OK, offroad just impressive when the “reigns” are handled suitably.

2:25 “steering heavy’?? my LR 110 Stationwagon is 1st series LHD 1983, power steering added in 1999: LIGHT! Offroad manual steering is OK really. Ramon25D: affirmative low front axle load= essence. 1994 from V8 to 200Tdi: engine up to front axle: all weight between axles. Empty: front 960kg, rear 1000kg, max front 1200, rear 1950: front axle remains low loaded: rear wheels run on front wheel ‘compressed soil’, not on ‘worked loose’ soil.. 1st owner, 540000km now of ups & downs. Greetings CPW

thank you very much for improving my english, as you might have noticed its not my first language
Malc180s wrote on March 8, 2010 at 3:32 am
The correct term, since you’re indulging in the queens English, is Trousers.
Ramon25D wrote on March 8, 2010 at 4:02 am
naaah I wear normal mans pants, its your ghetto baggy weird crap clothes you were, use your own size 50cent
Malc180s wrote on March 8, 2010 at 5:02 am
Those lycra shorts must make it easier.
Ramon25D wrote on March 8, 2010 at 6:00 am
have you ever driven one? I own a 130 HCDCPU load it quiet often with loads over 1 ton and it does great, works hard with a much lower fuel consumption than a Land Cruiser or a Patrol. It is stock so it is considerably better off road than a stock Cruiser or a Patrol. A bigger motor would add weight that would make the front heavy and make the fender suffer what the cruiser suffers dig the nose. I stick with a turbo diesel.
Ramon25D wrote on March 8, 2010 at 6:48 am
wimp, wimp, wimp pussy. I have a 130 which I use every single day and I have the minimum skills to get in and out of my car, it is not difficult its not complicated, hold on lightly to the steering wheel and do a little hop. I would say you are old and find it hard to get in, but my grandpa can get in and out very easily. you are just a big baby that finds problems where there are none and I bet you are always in the need to complain about something to get some attention.
Malc180s wrote on March 8, 2010 at 7:09 am
You in the closet?

Fact is it’s a hassle to get into, and the seat-back adjuster is in the way. A defender is in no way some ‘big mans’ car, it’s just an off-roader that’s very easy to drive – my 5ft 16 year old sister is learning in it for fucks sake.

If you want to go to some homosexual ’slowly crawl over rocks’ meeting then sure, forget the steps. But if you want to use the car everyday then you get steps. Labeling the need to use one’s car a ‘pussy’ attitude is just pathetic.
Ramon25D wrote on March 8, 2010 at 8:02 am
its a completely different thing the fact that you are a pussy. you just cant handle a Defender, its a rugged car a true workhorse that does not need all that gay shit that adds more cost to the car and just gets in the way. grow a pair or get yourself a jeep or a yota (not that Im against them, theyre just less rugged)

danebrewer10 wrote on March 8, 2010 at 9:22 am
yes he did, even I can’t dream up any reasons for that one!

@danebrewer10 oh i see. but stilll he stuffed up when said very first discovery at 1:14 and it’s a s1!!!!
Malc180s wrote on March 8, 2010 at 10:04 am
No we fucking don’t! I’ve torn the arse out’ve several pairs of trousers in my defender time – and that’s an older one with considerably smaller tyres than this.
danebrewer10 wrote on March 8, 2010 at 10:31 am
well yeah, they probably out stride the land rover in some cases, but for a capable off roader that everyone could own, better off roading than other vehicles, i think the defender is pretty well up there, i can’t really imagine someone going to do a spot of shopping in a unimog…
sheeplvl1 wrote on March 8, 2010 at 10:41 am
@danebrewer10 and then there’s the unimog, and the world of global expedition vehicles.
danebrewer10 wrote on March 8, 2010 at 11:29 am
not lightweights literally, lightweights in terms of off road capability, reputation, that sort of thing
