Defender Wolf...

For those interested I will be bringing my Defender XD - Commonly referred to as a Wolf to the celebration.

I am planning on selling it but not quite ready to list it as I am enjoying driving it very much. It is probably one of the best driving Defenders I have ever driven. It has about 72,000 km on it.

Check out the Wikipedia article on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_Wolf. The one improvement it doesn't list is that the heater produces warmth!!!

Great to see a keen response, we will bring along the club wind shelter and warming fire pit.
Dress warm, better to be too warm than a little chilly! see you there :glasses8:

Cheers

It was pleasant if a "tad" windy day, the Disco ran great tossed a couple of codes but nothing major all likely vacuum line related.

Little did we know a couple of weeks ago that Social Gatherings would be banned across Canada (and maybe the world) :shock:

Its good that we just slipped this one in, just before the S#%t hit the fan ...

Here is a link to a few photos in the RL gallery, to help remember the time when you could still gather in groups.

Now back to Social distancing ... be safe :?

Sorry I missed it. I arrived at 2pm as I could not get my wife and son motivated to get out of the house.

Sorry we missed you, after surviving 3 hrs of wind gusts up to 90 kph I think we were all a bit "chapped" around the edges. (The shelter nearly took off a few time)
So we packed up a little earlier than advertised. Hopefully you still enjoyed a walk around in the fresh air, its a nice spot at Porteau Cove.

I can understand. We spent a couple hours wondering on the beach. Very blustery but the scenery was beautiful albeit a little cold.
