cause a Defender can last many decades, it's greener and has less
impact on the environment than a lot of other vehicles.

Cars built of simple materials like the Defender and the Jeep Wrangler
cost less to make, recycle and dispose of than a Toyota Prius.

You have to look at the whole life cycle of a vehicle and not just
fuel consumption and 'refinement' before making ill informed and rude
comments.

Thanks, I enjoyed the comments in the link, notably that the wrong
choice of car ticket bullies don't ticket defenders.

A 4x4 that even the green loonies like. What was that Doug, you used
to own one?
