As I landed at Heathrow just over a week ago I noticed that one of the airport runway cars was a new Defender! Alas no photo though…  I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Not knocking LR totally, but lets be honest, if your life depended on a vehicle getting to you ASAP, I'd much rather it was one that was boringly reliable as opposed to one that isn't.
