With the move out into the countryside it was time to put a bucket list car in the garage.
Picked up a Defender 90 on Sunday. Its an 86 but has had a 300Tdi engine conversion done so it can easily handle the motorway (if it has to).

Strange thing is the dog loves it, but does not like our BMW 335D Tourer now !!! Suppose that's what happens when you have a working cocker - knows what a proper vehicle is !!

I've not really shown it off for various reasons but the bad weather and with the car being away for a service and spruce up I do miss it dearly, so here is my current P+J that I collected in June, so you think you've been in a fast car? not till you've experienced a 'whippled' Ford GT

Yeah its genuine, I've had it out to Fennel once and a few runs with some local guys.
It was in a friends garage for a while and then on my drive, now down at GT101 the specialist for these things, its getting a service, fresh door, window and clam rubbers and possibly a nose cone respray to deal with the stone chips. When it's back up in a few weeks I'll take it to fennel for a breakfast before I put it in proper storage for winter so will let you know and you can come see/hear it!
