Absurd 6x6 Defender, Defender Theft Skyrocketing, Interview with 1995 Camel Trophy Team of Jim Swett and Daphne Greene
from The Underpowered Hour · host Underpowered Hour
This week, we talk about the improbable and absurd New Defender 6x6 model as spotted in the Dupont Registry (link below), and the guys discuss everything right (not much) and wrong (pretty much everything) about it. Then we’re talking about Land Rover Defender thefts skyrocketing, and the guys share their not so serious thoughts on this serious issue plaguing these cars. Steve mentions he’s in the market for a Range Rover L322, and why a higher mileage car might suit him better than a lower mileage one. Steve mentions the XKE Jay Leno found in a garage in Burbank and how that came to be. Then we dive into our interview with 1995 Camel Trophy US Team of Jim Swett and Daphne Greene, who give us some insight into the selection process and how they came to be teammates back in 1995. What led them to Camel Trophy in the first place, and what made them great teammates then and now? Recorded at ANARC in June, special thanks to them for appearing together on the podcast to reminisce about this remarkable event. https://blog.dupontregistry.com/features/679545/first-new-defender-6x6-forsale/ https://www.bracknellnews.co.uk/news/23690849.land-rover-defender-thefts-skyrocket-87-across-countryside/
