While smoking at my car at work (I work on a military base) A beautiful Defnder 90 diesel, strolls up and parks next to me. I waited for the driver to get out so I can hound him for info (who, what, where, how) he was just as excited as I was to let me take a picture and post it here on good ol' oppo. I asked where and how he got it and since he was military, I figured it was just a treasure brought along from a deployment... but no.
He told me he bought it locally from a british service member who imports them and sells them here. It's not the first defender I've seen here in Virginia Beach, there's a 110 for sale near my house and I see a guy driving a late 90's yellow soft top every one in awhile. I love this example for the lack of rear side windows, the military grade paint finish, that its RHD AND its a freakin' oil burner, sounds so damn good puttering down the parking lot.
Kudos to the owner for being an opponut and being unique. I invited him to the website and the post, I hope he becomes one of us.

Was visiting my cousin on Lanai (one of more sparsely populated Hawaiian islands) when I was 18 and one of the things to do was go wheelin' around the island. The one place that rents Jeeps there had all three of them rented, but they still had a Defender 90 that they'd give me for the same price. Sold.
Loved that the interior was all sealed up so you could just hose it out, dry it off, and be good to go. One of my best memories of Hawaii.
Damn. Now I want to go do that again. Right now.

2. You're the other side of the country from me.
