DefenderTD5 110

You would have thought, after my initial experience with the Stage One, I would have learnt my lesson. But no. That just got the desire for a proper Defender doing in me, and, finally, after looking for one for a couple of years, in 2019, I started a new project. A 2001 TD5 110 Land Rover Defender.

The goal is to take my two little girls on a slow road trip around New Zealand. Join me an adventure into classic design, leaky roofs and off-road shenanigans.

In close, should I aim high or low?

Ballistics 0
I hear the comment quite regularly - 'I got in real close to the animal - but just couldn't seem to get the bullets to go where I was aiming - I was so close, I must have had to aim lower, right?' Well, no. If you aimed lower, there is a good chance you put a round under the animal - or worse still - into a leg. But why? Oh. Maths!

T-Bone Steaks

Nutrition 0
I have fallen for T-Bones recently. What isn't to like about them? They are great value for money, full of taste, and have a bonus feature - the Missus will generally not be able to finish all of hers so I get to eat one and a half T-bone steaks.
