So, went for a socially distant gander around my mate Simons brand new Defender on Friday... What a lovely place to be! Its HUGE! Feels massive inside and very very modern... NO threat whatsoever against the FF BUT! Maybe a great replacement to wifeys D4 as the dog wagon...

Since its launch I always thought that this should have been the Disco 5.

Waiting for the commercial version as a possible replacement for the D4. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Shame / hope it was nothing.

watched the collection vid too. Couldn’t believe the restricted performance with 20 odd miles on the clock, mental. Looks smart though .

That was a disappointing bit of the video. I hope it was nothing too serious. Craig?

I thought it was a wind up when folk were saying that it went into limp mode on the drive from the dealership
