Or go all environmentally friendly and go electric like I have done. Not many 7 seater options though except perhaps Tesla Model X
Saw those also - dont want to go too mad on one but some additions do look good....
Not interested in electric just yet - I am doing a 250 mile journey this evening so range can be an issue and where i live, i am struggling to recall where if any charging stations are available locally.... :(

Yes, they very smart - I know the guy Richard. Would love a 110 defender - my wife wouldn’t drive it.

He says the one to get is a D300 :shock:

My wife most definitely would drive a new Defender as she often points them out now when we see one. Huge things though in the 110 version.

^^^^ Yes, my wife's the same, very keen to get her hands on our 90, which is a bigger version of our Yeti I guess. The LR is scheduled to arrive anytime between now and next March....... :(

Lol - just when i see replies to my old post - we finally pulled the trigger yesterday and placed a deposit on a Defender 110 (with 7 seats) - downside to all this is looking like a yes wait for it........................1 year wait.... :O

We have driven one and a Disco back to back - for our needs the Defender was the way to go - I did look around the alternatives and was left with a X5 or GLE... both longish lead times but with many on the road already and going against why we sold the Macan and when Defender is the robustness inside with 2 young kids for the next few years - they can just take a battering and you wouldn't know...

My neighbour beside me is flat out putting kits on Defenders currently - you probably see them on all the NI based competition sites - there will be a grey 110 kitted going up soon... BTW some of the kit prices are not cheap... :)

Anyway - something to look forward to now - just that the missues isnt happy with the 15 year old run around we bought, thinking it was for a few months that is likely to be longer now.... :D

As a former owner of a Range Rover Sport, I wouldn't be seen dean in any JLR product even if it was free. Check out YouTube and the countless complaints, albeit from Yanks, about the 'new' defender. The ads show a lifestyle only lived by 0.00000001% of Defender owners. They look as if a child has drawn the design. Even my Land Rover nut neighbour dislikes them. His Discovery was an 'iscovery' for some weeks as the D fell off and JLR wouldn't sell him a 'D'. The things are unreliable and of shoddy build quality. Any engine issues mean the whole body has to come off at a cost over £10k. Still, each to their own. Very trendy though, like beards.

Great news, I may also be leaning this way. Are these Urban kits by any chance? lol
