I don't blame you!
@Vdubcuz
Not had one.. but love the Defender.
Top pic looks a beast!
Did you go anywhere really crazy in it?
Ummm.. top pic at first glance, I thought you was stopped next to a pyramid!!
Hahaha!, yes I used them both regularly off road and have been to Tunisia and Morocco, as well as the Pyrenees and alps during the summer months.
Fab vehicles but sadly many routes locally have now been closed due to muppets with monster tyres wrecking the byways.
Just really go touring and camping these days so hopefully the new T6 will fit the bill perfectly!.
I built this in 1998 and still own it....
OT - Is that a Robin Hood?
Nothing to the van just running round getting bits and jobs to get the red rocket back on the road after mothballing it for other things for several years
It’s a Westfield SE from 1991.
Dad and I had a Robin Hood EXMO for several years. Awesome fun but needed something fettling every 100 miles. In the end we passed it on to a commercial pilot friend of the family who wanted something hands on and oily to counterbalance the increasingly automated day job.
Petrol heads will be all but gone in a generation
I built this from scratch in 1991 from a cortina engine and front uprights that the scrap man plasma cut from cortina . It’s what I learnt to wire electrics on as it’s got a dolomite loom and instruments and the loom was about five times the length.Petrol heads will be all but gone in a generation
It was built well however I had a very tight budget as was only 21 at the time. Had a lot of guidance from a neighbour who was a retired mechanic.
Ah the Triumph Dolop’osh1te
