gadge Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 <p>Love the 110's Asim. Especially the Tomb Raider cool version.<br> Looks like you need them there. <br> The one I shot is owned by an English couple who leave it in Malawi to be looked after by Taff in Norman Carr cottages and travel out every now and then to go for an overland trip. I was a bit jealous of that idea and lifestyle.<br> Gadge</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimrazakhan Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 <p>I actually love the khaki color of the Land Rover photo you took. It looks like they also have a tent fitted on the roof rack. Its a great vehicle for long distance expeditions but its not comfortable at all. A honda civic is luxurious compared to the grumbly ride of a Land Rover. </p> <p>the picture of the black one was mine in Dubai. I used to be able to get off the main roads and take short cuts to various locations in the city. I had planned to get a roof rack and a roll cage for protection but I moved from Dubai after a year and sold it as I had bought it. </p> <p>The great thing about Land Rovers are that they never change the looks of it so the resale value always stays high. The body is also aluminum so it never rusts. I ended up making a profit on mine.</p> <p>The Tomb Raider you see here was my brothers. It was fitted with everything. I think it could do about 1500 kilometers on one gas fill up. It also had a 50 liter supply of drinking water. and it had all the tools to get out of the worst situations. the tires were also fully off road tires that could go through very soft sand. but on the road it sounded like and even looked like a military vehicle. the tires against the road were so loud that you couldn't have a conversation while sitting inside. the tomb raider could carry about a 10 jerry cans on its body (not inside). In the picture you can see the sand plates on the side, a tent on top, and a canopy on the top corner. </p> <p>personally i think the land rover is a work of art. to me, it looks best from the back. i love how the rear door opens and there is so much room to carry things. the 110 has seats for nine people. but you could squeeze 12 slim people in easily.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadge Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 <p>I am no expert either despite owning one but I think that is a LR Series one due to the headlamp position not being on the wings and the split windscreen.<br> There were three series of the original models (1 2 and erm 3), the name then got changed to Defender which it has remained ever since (so far) although there is a replacement on the way so far this is called DC100 but name will change in due course. Defender will be a tough act to follow due to its reputation and huge versatility.<br> Asim agree with all your comments posted earlier in the thread.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 <p>Although it is not a particularly photogenic vehicle, my Land Rover Discovery regularly takes me to many photogenic - and often remote - places, such as the Isle of Skye, Scotland (photo). In fact, I'd say it is my ultimate photo accessory.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
