I had my Defender 110 collection up at my parents' place this past weekend and thought I would take the chance to get a couple of shots of the trucks in their natural habitat!

Introduced in 2006....Has it been 9 years already! Seems like we need many more versions to come to make me happy.

Sweet collection and cool pics Mario! Are you missing any in the pic, it seems like there were a few others but can't remember which.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Think I have most of these. Was very pleased when the casting was first issued.
The space between the vehicles make me think that the drivers are learning to drive school buses (have you ever watched them when they return the buses to their storage yard??).

The pictures also remind me of an article in the latest issue of Autoweek (Jan 19th), a string of Range Rovers driving across the Great Divide in Colorado.

Nice photos, good idea, Rob.

I am missing several. I know there is one with the tan mud colored tires and another with zebra looking stripes that I don't have. Pretty sure there are more that I don't have as well.

That was my thought too when I saw all the Land Rovers - the article in Auto Week. Great pictures and an awesome way to display these models.

Have to admit the title caught my eye ... And no disappointments.

Great pics and I would nominate one of them for pic of the month although I have already gone overboard ... :D

I always look forward to outdoor photos. The Defender looks right at home guarding this pile of rocks. You have some really nice examples there that I would not even think of taking outside! Then again, I'm a little... :wacko:

And yes, completely POTM worthy.
