Come to an Defender NYC meetup ... I'll explain how the power steering belt cut into the high pressure power steering hose because i had it positioned incorrectly ... I fixed that one in Fairways car park with some pond liner and a hose clamp.

My friend had the perfect idea for marketing and selling these. Bundle it with Half Life 3. Lol

I've never daily'd anything newer than my '93 Mustang 2.3L which over the past 7 years of driving it has been swapped for a 2.3L turbo. That car made it through 4 years of college and countless 250 mile round trips home and back only to succumb to a blown head gasket this past December in the 27 year old Thunderbird…

Oshit, I forgot to add them to the end of that essay:

I did... the 55' Mercury referred to as my tagline which I still own. For about 2 years I had a 15 mile each way commute and this is what I drove. It is a large 4 door car with no power steering, no power brakes, drums all around with a single brake line running out of the master cylinder, and 3 speeds with no…

attached is a picture of the GL and the Loyale, and a picture of the Loyale hitting 100 with the 3 speed. (Closed course, professional driver)

Woooo, that is one good looking truck.

The before picture, she was a DD for many years, single mom with three kids so I had to drive her, she has a set of chains to prove it. She had a manual choke-help start in the winter, say 20 minutes to start her in the winter.Couldn't drive her out of town because of the tinted windows, the light switch was by my…

My daily driver is just now turning 30 years old (was manufactured in '85). Honestly, driving it every day is pretty damn ordinary. As old-fashioned as it looks, it was a rather modern car in its day. It has compact FWD packaging, fuel injection, a proper ECU, and it even has cruise control!

I'm considering it this summer..... but I'm nervous at the same time.

Where do you live? I'm guessing somewhere on the West Coast. I'm paranoid here in the rust belt...

I have many times, and I am about to again, in this. BTW coming through NYC Friday afternoon into the evening after picking it up if you want a blast in it.

A while back, I drove my Road Runner as a DD to commute to work for about 6 weeks. I had sold my Jeep and the replacement vehicle was still in the process of being converted to diesel.

I've had this for the past 3 years. 1982 240D. I do however also have a 2009 VW. But since that one is broken half the time this sees far more use. I will have put 13,000 miles on it just this last year.

I DD'd my 1970 El Camino from the age of 16-19, and that was a great experience. I must be the luckiest guy in the world, because a 1970 El Camino w/ a carbureted 350 on 220,000 miles never rebuilt shouldn't be as reliable as it is.

now that one works
