    James has to be the best car content creators there is. The variety and sheer passion alone has him at the top of his game! Its not just content, its an experience with James.

    It seems strange to make this comment from Arizona, but as I’ve toured it and met my extended family, you are using the verbiage of my people there in that wonderful beast of a truck. Your editor and drone operator has done wonderful work capturing the breathtaking landscape. Can’t wait for the McLaren first drive James. Cheers.

    THIS is the kind of content I love the most. Not the flexing or hearing about what’s to come or building the brand. I want to see cars being used to their potential and this cinematic style is top notch. More please!

    Sounds so quiet inside the cabin! I have a 2014 110 and the road background noise is loud. Your Defender looks awesome. Hats off.

    • @raymondallo9947
      @raymondallo9947 2 года назад +1

      I have a 2013 110. I did a sound insulation stage 1 and stage 2 on floors, roof, doors , side walls. Then I had the car trimmer put in a good quality marine carpet through-out. The sound insulation you can do yourself. The carpet leave for the professional. I know you can get something from Exmoor, but to get it down really well you still need a trimmer.
      I paid AU$ 1750 (about GBP 850 / U$ 1220) for marine carpet fully installed and could choose between numerous colours. Front floor, seat box, rear passenger, cargo floor and side walls. Not only is it a lot quieter, the standard supplied speakers now sound a lot better too as the sound does n't bounce of the hard surfaces. Make sure you put sound insulation behind the speakers in the back.

    @raymondallo9947 2 года назад

    And people wonder why I drive a Defender 110. That car is given me the most Hygge of any car I ever owned, easily beating my audis and bmws I have owned. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the Q7 and X5, but nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than my 110. It will be with me until my end of days.

    my lightly modded Defender is the family favourite. Bilstein lowered "road" shocks, springs and antiroll bars, decent wider wheels and tyres, LED lights & headlights and some power upgrades. Perfect accompaniment to the Porsches and the daily drive A6 all-road for Perthshire
    hose-out interior for dogs and after-hike mud! (or carrying spares, oily bits, bikes etc)

    Wonder how a 110 crew cab would look?, this Defender is the family car that gets handed down, generation to generation.

    Yeah but the new g wagon offers more in terms of what u find awesome in this car, ruggedness on the outside and refinment on the inside, its miles ahead in terms of luxury on the inside, when you go offroad and u are in this kind of comfort, expensive leather big screens, awesome ambient lighting, 360 cameras, it feels otherworldly
