Being the owner of three Landrover Defenders has meant that I have trebly been the brunt of many Landrover jokes!
And crikey, for sure, I’ve got a good sense of humour, but I swore that I would never tell “Landy” jokes after I bought a new Toyota Landrcruiser…but,
Driving in my Landcruiser
Driving in my Landcruiser
A truck that won’t rust
Looking in the rearview
“The Landy’s” in my dust
*
Put in the “diff-locks”
And start headin’ up some hills
There’s no need to worry
No more hefty “Landy” bills
*
Take a good look underneath
You’ll see no oil drips
She’s dry as a whistle
Like parched desert lips
*
And when it’s time to turnaround
To point our way back home
There’s one thing that’s rest assured
There’ll be no breakdown moan!
😉
ps: I sold “The Landy” and it has gone to a new home!
Xplore 
I have a Toyota RAV 4.
Toyota makes a dependable vehicle, no doubt about it.
I hope the ‘Landy’ likes its new home.

So the Blue Landrover was with us from around 2000 to 2006, the White one from 2006 to two days ago, and the Red one from 2007 to a couple of months ago… More on the new Landcruiser soon!

Nice poem, and fairly respectful of the Landy. I can tell you that I had a few situations like your middle picture with my Landcruiser in the African mountains and savannah, I also got stuck in the sand and drove right into a deep mud pool in the dark, but she always took me outta there 🙂 Happy drives!!
