As a Christchurch man who's been in London for 27 years, you guys are making me so home sick! There are so many great places to see in Canterbury once you get off the main road.

Hayden, I used to run a 1955 86" soft-top Series 1 when I was in Christchurch - where are you now DU677? Had great times driving up to Mt Cheeseman on Friday nights for a weekends ski-patrolling. Also took it up Mt Alfred on the Dart-Rees river near Glenorchy when down in Queenstown. A much better vehicle than the old man's Series 1 V8 Disco.

I live where Range Rovers and new Defenders are commonplace, yet most of their drivers have no idea how their cars work. I went to an off road event where new Rover owners thought they could drive . I recovered more than one in my 64 Series 2A. Also, no buttons.

@jmpersonal2402 7 ай бұрын

Hayden, a Landrover, is a British invention... and the humble jetboat circa the early 1960s is the classic. Be it on the Waiau, Eglinton, Holyford - the Dart, Rees or even the Arthur River in an old Fiordland Travel ex Waiau River jet - Torrent or Tempest... Those old jet boats were the forerunners for deer culling. Then, eventually, venison recovery. The Landrover (yours) is a classic... the new Defender, not so much!! ... That NZ created Hamilton - a classic workboat! They win every time!

Some great landscape footage in here - brilliant lighting and a rainbow. I’ve owned a lot of 4x4s but if I was doing what you do, it’d be the classic series LR, old Defender or original Rangie for me and not worrying about dents and scrapes and once again I’m beyond impressed about how your SWB just makes it look effortless.

Blimey another knee slapper of a video, Hayden. You Kiwis are spoiled rotten for beautiful trails and landscapes! Couldn't believe that rainbow in the background of the bow and arrow practise - sure that wasn't a painted set we were looking at? 😂 Nice jet boat -- I've heard NZ has something to do with inventing those..😉 Good lads for fetching that Pretender out of the muck -- I think if that was my motor I'd be putting steelies and some good knobblies on it sharpish.

@hayden_jones 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, we're bloody lucky to have all this beauty in our backyard. The rainbow was a nice touch, right.... that canal was pretty epic. The skipper did a pretty good job navigating it (apart from the wee bump near the start 😄)

Sure they have issues but tell you what … the new Defenders have crossed the Simpson desert without issues where the same crossing have landed old defenders and land cruisers in hot water. I suppose only time will tell how durable the new Defenders are post warranty period…as a Defender owner I have my eyes set of the Ineos Grenadier as a future replacement if my Defender starts giving issues. Not a brand or make follower…as long as the vehicle works for my use cases, I will use it…the moment it starts giving issues…it would be time to explore other options in marketplace. This applies to any make, model or legacy of vehicle.
