Defender 110 abused by a Pinzgauer in a Crash

#1 Post by ellebarto » Tue Oct 08, 2013 2:14 am

I’ve just come back from a full weekend of laning that nearly started in utter disaster.

If you’ve seen the recent video of my vinyl wrapped Defender 110 you will know I’ve put a lot of work into it.



Right at the start of this trip, which was led by a Pinzgauer, the bloke driving decided to take his handbrake off and forget he had a brake pedal. It wasn’t the vehicle owner I hasten to add but someone ‘having a go’

A 3 ton Pinzgauer gun truck and a 110 don’t mix that well funnily enough!

It's not that bad. The old girl took it on the chin pretty well, I think.

Poor thing. Tell Mr Pinz that it needs to be replaced with a nice V8 L405 :mrgreen:

It’s fair to say that during the process of getting the car sorted I was a bit frustrated with the people involved. Especially when I discovered my on-board cameras had captured audio suggesting he perhaps shouldn’t have been driving. Anyway, just to amuse myself I made this little follow up film poking fun at them!

I know I shouldn’t but it made me chuckle.

:mi7:

I like it. :D I wouldn't mind adding the $&@! Ford that hit my poor Rangie.

I hope you get it sorted without further problems.

Fortunately I can report a happy ending to a sad and sorry saga!
