110 comfortable?

I have a VERY VERY large stereo in mine for one reason...to drown out the voices in my head that constantly scream...

"Holy F*&K, pull over and get me out of here! I've got cramps on my cramps! And who is the wingnut that put the emergency brake handle there! Did they miss the memo that most drivers HAVE 2 LEGS and need to put them somewhere!"

Yes, very loud stereo drowns it out. I find Black Sabbath works especially well. It'sd a metal thing.

You are also not the correct dimensions.   ;D  If you are a size that fits, they can be very comfortable.  Both you and Matt are insane for trying to drive a Defender.

Both my trucks are great for long distance travel.  The 110 is nice and quiet as well.  The previous owner does not like loud vehicles and took care to quiet it down.

I think they refer to Matt and I as "dimensionally excessive"

How about a Leyland Daf  or a pinzgauer if your still looking for options? 12 k for the 4 tonner and 4K for the pinz... Both on kijiji  more room in the Daf cab than a mk/ mj Bedford not sure bout that pinzgauer though never been in one... Mogs are nice but way too much money.....

I was looking at the DAF... where the hell would I park it? Other than that it is my fantasy rig. Looked it up only does about 90kph.
