BRENDA THE DEFENDER
Let me introduce you to Brenda the Defender who I have just driven back to the UK after 6 months in Cyprus.
She is absolutely fantastic and anyone planning an Overland trip could not want for a better truck. I wish I could keep her but would rather her go to a fellow adventurer for more of what she loves and is designed for as opposed to sitting in storage for a year or more.
