Show Us Your Motors!

New car day for me. Defender D300 HSE X-Dynamic. So it’s the new straight 6 diesel with the ZF 8 speed and a twin speed transfer box.
Pangea green, Kahki interior, heated cooled seats, upgraded 11.4” screen.

Bit of a strange day as was really looking forward to showing this to my dad as he was excited about it when I told him I ordered one and he had a Discovery 1 and I think wore the jacket he got with it for about 15 years. Unfortunately he passed away last month so I’ve been less interested in collection that I would have been (bit of sharing there which is rare for me)…

Real surprise as nothing on the build slot
I selected suggested 7 seats but it is which is great for some flexibility and can take us all and my Mum for days out.

With the wife’s Mini there - which we will keep for now,I’ll see how she gets on driving it as she’s used to the IPACE now

Condolences mate, I think with time you may begin to cherish it knowing your father would have loved it. Never easy all I can say is time helps but it takes time and it’s the kind of loss you never fully recover from.

Love the defender! Wish the jlr discount was back on! It was my late father's birthday today and he did 30 years at Jag. Must be a coincidence

I like that

Love that defender, they look much better in the flash and the Ingenium straight 6 sounds nice for a diesel

Got rid of my M4 Competition after 4 months (In October) as was offered a price I couldn't refuse.

Followed that up with an immaculate E46 330i Manual, which lasted 2 months until that was also flipped.

Now ended up in a TT-RS which I am over the moon with!

please dont put the plate back on, it will ruin it !

Thanks! It sure looks 100x better with no plate on, but I'm sure a certain group of uniformed people may disagree

I don’t think anyone will disagree that it looks better, but I do think that anyone actually driving on a UK road like that should put their bloody plate back on like the rest of us have to.

This. Not worth the hassle. I ran plateless for 2 years before I got pulled, and then got pulled again(had my plate in the car so could attach it there and then.) so thought better of it after that. As much as they do spoil the lines, you are asking for unwanted police attention sadly. Which this forum does not like.

Go pro mounts and remove the plate when you want to take pictures etc.

I do have a magnetic mount in there still which gets used when I'm on public roads

Occasionally take it off for the odd photo etc!

The daily while the supra is still undergoing a full custom wiring loom. Looking to replace this with an M5 soon as I got an offer I can't refuse on the A7.

 

[Freelanc3r]

Slightly shorter plate fitted, local cops here never seem to mind. Looks a lot cleaner imo. Bonnet has now been shut properly simce the second pic was taken.

 

[DRZ]

Not bad for a courtesy car tbh. Had 103 miles on the clock when I collected it earlier today. I’ll probably do a bit of an in-depth write up on this vs the GT in that thread. For now, only one word: Rapid.

The two-tone looks original KA inspired

 

[mjt]

What is it? 720S? Not a fan of the two-tone.

Congratulations coming out of the closet... must have been difficult
