Thanks, I can't wait to pick it up!  I've got a 500km drive home from the dealership, so plenty of time to get familiarised

4444cfed, that's a classic, looks like it's in good nick too

It won't take you that long, there ain't much to get familiarised with ;D.  Heated seats is about as complicated as it gets, though I suspect you won't be needing them.  First thing to do is chuck out the feckin useless stock radio.  We replaced ours with a blue tooth Sony device.  Now we have hands free on the phone and the world of Spotify, plus Apple route guidance….Love it

i am looking to put back an 8 track  none of your fancy telephone wizardry and hocus pocus

[Giles]

Good point.  It would have been more fitting to retro fit one of these now I think of it:

Haha, yeah there's not much techno wizardry in there is there.  All the Australian spec Defenders have the Alpine headunit / sub set-up, so we'll see how that sounds, otherwise I'll do the gramophone upgrade.

HD…it looks like a 1978...found one in the US in triple black for $46,000

[harley dave]

your probably right wonderfull to drive they are ,its like sitting in an armchair in a  gentlemens club and wafting along on a feather pillow

[khaki8]

I had a Bentley T2 also from 1978 for a few years. Wonderful driver…but really complicated mechanically. And looney tunes expensive to repair. Loved driving it though.

I was looking at the Jeep Renegade today. My favourite detail has to be the Willys Jeep silhouette on the windscreen.

Very nice R0man!  I dig that SRX!  What engine did GM put in that one?

Thanks appfaff. They put the 3.6 in it which is pretty much standard right now. It's a great car. I like the DTS as well, kind of big, has a much bigger gas guzzler in it. I'm trying to hold on to it a bit, but who knows when I see the CT6.
