Default New Defender vs Real Defender

I have a "real" defender - 1994 90 NAS - I notice no new defender mall crawler owners ever wave or acknowledge my real defender - even in a small town - too busy checking their portfolio on the Iphone ?

Gross

I have my valet check my stock porfolio.

Perhaps, and I’m just theorizing here, the other drivers just think you’re a bit of a see you next Tuesday.

You sure sound like a ton of fun.

Oooh Oooh Oooh. Are we having an offroad vehicle ego phallus measuring contest? If so, I'd like to make a submission.

Seriously though - the L663 is as much of a "real" Defender - whatever the hell thats supposed to mean - as the NAS is. It says so right on the hood.
