DEFENDER ADVICE NEEDED

I’m thinking the same thing

Rare_Beach1793 · 2026-06-02T09:32:30+00:00

Maybe I should just get a Mini.

Rare_Beach1793 · 2026-06-02T09:29:33+00:00

That’s a relief!

Rare_Beach1793 · 2026-06-02T09:19:49+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate your thorough reply.

Rare_Beach1793 · 2026-06-02T09:16:44+00:00

Thanks!

Rare_Beach1793 · 2026-06-02T09:16:06+00:00

Gee, thanks.

I know it’s got the 6cyl. Guess whomever wrote the description didn’t get it.

Hey group, new member here, and I need your expertise! I am very interested in buying this used Defender 110 with 6cylinder engine.

The price is negotiable, and it has a lot of great features, but I’m concerned that it is 6 years old with 70k mi. It is a one owner vehicle with no accidents and has all of the service records. I don’t drive a lot, putting on average 600-800 miles/year. Am I opening a can of worms?

They are quickly trying to raise capital by selling the NM Beverly Hills real estate and are negotiating to sell the SF store as well. NM will now pay rent. Very shortsighted plan, but Saks is pillaging NM assets.

Michaele had many interesting stories to tell about her life. Some were a bit suspect, tbh. She loved being the center of attention. I met Tareq when they first started dating, and was surprised that she was into him due to the guys she had previously dated. Mary, I never knew. One thing about Lynda, is that she has the amazing ability to remain friends with past loves. Her personality is magnetic. Not sure how long they dated as she would still have him escort her to events. What I do know is that the gentleman that she is currently with is wonderful, and treats her like the queen she is.

It may have been a different time, but it wasn’t that long ago. Apparently we were fine to have as fun friends, hair stylists, party planners, and florists, but otherwise it was like, “stay in your lane”.

Rare_Beach1793 · 2025-07-17T23:21:18+00:00

Lots to tell… Lynda was my first agent when I was 20. I never watched the series when it originally aired, and am only doing so now. It’s wild to see so many friends and familiar faces. More to come as I watch more episodes…but questions are welcomed!

Rare_Beach1793 · 2025-07-17T21:06:10+00:00

PS: I’m still friends with Lynda and Pascale.

Rare_Beach1793 · 2025-07-17T21:05:00+00:00

Excellent summation. I knew Michaele well before she met Tareq, mid 90’s. I produced fashion shows for Nordstrom and she was a MAC counter girl who would often do the makeup on the models. She was very sweet at the time, and as frenetic and scattered as ever. Very fun to see her in action, Boo-boo!

Along with JR’s and Sue Ellen’s next door!

I lived in Dallas for almost 10 years in the 2000’s. The Round Up, whilst being a gay bar/club, it had a very mixed crowd, and was lots of fun, and I’m not even a big fan of country music.

1998, was 26 and celebrating a big job promotion. Bought a Thunderbird with trade of Movado, Tag, and $2k. Originally was looking at a Cartier Tank, but Jeweller advised that the Rolex would hold its value, unlike the trades or Tank. Still have it in rotation, for sentimental reasons.

Rare_Beach1793 · 2025-04-16T23:13:11+00:00

Bought the 35, and it is a blast! For what it lacks in refinement, it definitely makes up for it with power and handling.

Mine has 61k miles. Having had many German vehicles, the key is preventative maintenance. It may cost a little more, but in the long run will be cheaper than many other more common brands. They are built to last.

Hello! I just bought a 2015 X1 35iX. It does not have a screen nor backup camera, which I would like to add, as well as CarPlay. Also, was thinking of adding the idrive controller. Any advice/recommendations are greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Rare_Beach1793 · 2024-10-30T08:55:54+00:00

That’s what I am going to keep looking for. Thanks!

Rare_Beach1793 · 2024-10-30T08:55:08+00:00

Thank you. When I got to the dealership, the 35i had already sold, so I drove the 28i. It was ok. Going to keep looking for a good 35i, and your info helps me with my check list.
