HI,
I wanted to introduce myself. I just bought BACK my black 1995 Defender 90 NAS.
I bought the truck new about 11 years ago. My wife and I loved the truck and many great memories including picnics on the roof rack, off-roading, meeting friends, christmas lights on the car, etc.
When a new job forced me to have a much longer commute, it took 2.5 years, but I finally decided that I should sell the truck. I sold it to one of my best friends. We really missed the D90........but it was OK........because we got to see it once or twice a year and even drive it!
We never thought my friend would sell the truck........but 4 years later.....and a baby on the way.........he decided to sell it.
We were so emotionally attached to the truck, that We decided to buy it back. Friends and family think we are crazy - but I am sure there are some people on this chat page that understand. It now has 85k miles on it, a little more rust, and even more character! We plan to drive it 4-5k miles a year, re-live some old memories, and create some new ones.
I do not think that this forem existed when I had the truck (or at least I did not know about it). I plan to visit here often. What a wealth of friends and knowledge! I hope from time to time I can help someone out on this forem............I know I will need some help over time.......maintaining my 11 year YOUNG Defender!!!!
