What's everyone driving...?

From a family perpective...

2009 Porsche 911 997.2 Base Carrera with PDK - mine
2014 Porsche Cayenne Diesel - mine
2014 Honda Odyssey - wife's (hoping to replace with IG)
2005 Mercedes W211 E320 CDI - oldest son's
2014 Volkswagen Jetta - daughter's
2008 Audi A4 Quattro Sedan S Line - youngest son's
A few (7) misc motorcylces for me as well.
 
As a business owner:
Scania P320 - 26 ton rig
Volvo XC60
BMW i3 (To compensate all those emissions)
Defender 110 TD5 (2007) Build for overlanding
Grenadier utility vehicle (needs to work and earn his place, but will be the replacement of the Defender in the future as an Overlander)
I also have an electric bike and a mountain bike :p
 
Now driving this, but was driving a Defender 110 before this got delivered, its like coming out of the dark ages

Updated my old Tritov V6 ute to a new D-Maz 1.9T ute. I am getting 13.5km/L or 7.3L/100km. Amazing saving each week on FUEL! Sick of waiting for the GREN!
 
My daily is a '18 Model S P100D I purchased right before I left the company.
'21 GLE53 AMG Coupe for the wife (will be replaced by IG)
'20 Defender 110 for longer trips to the mountains & beaches of Southern California
 
I'll kick of with:

Discovery 4
Lotus Esprit V8GT

and yes, there appears to be a British thing going on here.

Ineos grenadier of course.
BMW X6
Mitsubishi Triton
VW Golf mk V
Datsun 120Y
 
2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2.8 Diesel... 476,000 (trouble free KM in Spain). Very hard to leave the brand when it has been faultless. I guess the fact that they rarely make changes to the engines/models leads to amazing reliability.

According to data from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), approximately one out of every 100 Land Rovers in circulation was reported stolen between April 2022 and March 2023. These statistics reveal that Land Rovers are three times more likely to be stolen compared to the second most popular target for thieves, which is the Mercedes-Benz.

Not an ideal first place

I'm afraid that the grenadier may replace the land rover as thieves vehicle of choice. Unless all the dings and bongs put them off.
 
Many Land Rover Defenders still have no extra security fitted, with owners either having no fitted security at all, or relying on the factory alarm and immobiliser.

A bit of extra security such as a good pedal lock and aftermarket immobiliser makes the vehicle much less likely to get stolen.

Likewise few owners secure their Discovery's against theft, a simple OBD port modification and turning off "keyless entry" will stop the majority of thefts of this vehicle
