tank driving course in the midlands, ok its not for speed merchants, but the place was bang on, got to drive a millitary waggon to start, a self propelled gun, a personel carrier and a bend in the middle steer tracked jobby. staff were second to non, put on a proper "tank day" lunch (potato hash) for not just the entrants but family that came to watch, with afters, very friendly and not stupidly priced either.

i picked one up a last year for 150quid with a few months mot on it, just used it as a run around, was a tatty bus with alot of miles, but it didnt miss a beat despite doing a couple of long trips including one with a heavily loaded trailer. mpg around town is pretty shocking (2.5 manual) but on a run they're passable.

25mpg is 10 more than i get outa my mk2 granada, and 5 less than my capri so thats ok, i had a d reg transit for over a year, so it cant be much heavier/clunky to drive.
not sure if i like the "things go wrong" part tho, any ideas of things to look out for? I'm more than a dab hand at changing/fixing things mechanicaly so that shouldnt be an issue, i don't expect there to be much electric trickery anywhere?

hello, a week of work and a cold day means ive been scanning the wonderfull world of online bidding stores, and came accross an old f reg defender.
the item in queston is a 2.5 manual td 2door, insurance came back pleasantly cheap.
how do these things perform with modern traffic? i don't do many motorway miles, but it would need to tow a trailer every other weekend, i know reputation is that they're quite basic, but are they liveable with?
viewpoints please!
