October 2023 Photo Contest

[Stu_Barnes]

Submit photos any time you like but the earlier the better, submissions start the 1st of the month until the last day of the month.
Photos can be resubmitted, votes gathered will let you know if you're flogging a dead horse.
More than one photo can be submitted by each member but in separate posts. Otherwise only the first image is counted.
Please use your original work rather than images lifted from Facebook or other social media.

Only one vote per member per month, you can't like everything so be picky, this is an honesty based system.
If you chose to change your vote you can do so at any time before the closing date.
Voting closes the last day of each month, when the winner will be announced.
In event of a tie the winner will be randomly chosen from the tiebreakers.
Winning images will be uploaded to a 'winners' folder in the media section of the forum
Winners get a 'Photo Contest Winner' banner on their account
Winning images can be uploaded in hi res for the community, they're perfect for desktop backgrounds (contact forum admin to upload)


If you think of any other rules that should be included then let me know.

Close to the small village of Stejera, Maramureș, Romania, (47°26'35.08116"N, 23°23'54.756599"E). September 12, 2023.
The tree was lying on the track, and I found a way to circumvent it, otherwise I would have to drive back some two hours.

Chainsaw or axe? Winch? You drove over it? You just reversed back to the track you were supposed to be on?

When you have to restore an almost new Defender (TD4), it's frightening.

@rovie: if so, I will restore my words to "a very well maintained TD4"

Very nice !

And suddenly the Defender next to the Grenadier looks like HUE next to a Defender.

I am wondering what it is. It has a TD4 bonnet, but it seems it still has the ventilation flaps of the TD5 and prior ...

just waiting for the Beast to arrive

While waiting for my Grenny to be manufactured, I'm still enjoying times out in my 4x4 Sprinter, seen here in the Alabama Hills of California.

Hi @Jeffrey with this picture you make me jealous. I still have to wait three quarters of a year for mine.

Our local sea lions practicing their Grenadier Wave for the soon to be arriving Grenadier ships at Port Hueneme. Da Bull

 

[Barney]

First grenadier meeting DACH IN the Mammut off-road park.

 

[Max]

Maybe the first production Grenadier

to visit Fraser Island?

 

[James]

They spent a few weeks together; 25 years older, the Defender has moved on to a farm. Mixed feelings, the Grenadier is so exciting, but this photo is poignant.

I once worked on a home like this, always reminds me of Ferris Bueller's day off, however in this case both vehicles would survive the drop and drive on. DaBull

Storm Trooper Pair looks amazing - I chose Shale Blue to pair with my 110 Storm Trooper (having sold my D2 Storm Trooper last year.
Tough decision as yours look great together but refuse to second guess myself!!
