We don't have the snow you do and I know although they are freezing inside that I'd drive it daily in snow.

my EX wife loves them.. haha
they are crazy on the roads but off-roading in it is insanely great
I will post more pics this w/e

Defenders are TITSSSS, seriously I would rock one all day. Here is one from a local dealership awhile back. They drive like tanks, too, but I don't like driving the automatic ones. The people I know with them always keep a few bulbs in the glove box

Maybe it is due to the buffalo salt?

Maybe I am ignorant, but you have SERIOUS stable with some SERIOUS cars, I would think something in the range of a mini isn't too crazy. Is the problem actually finding the mini, or are they out there but not priced right?

I'm a touch picky and they aren't easy to find in good shape. The guys that do have them in pristine shape are always about 10k more than I'd like to spend. Outside color not an issue but pristine interior and body shape are. It will be painted just like my 08' Carrara White to match I just have a tough time with all the Crap for sale right now.

I'm sure Comprador can agree how tough they are to find the "right" one. There's one in England right now I really want but I don't trust the seller for some reason my gut says no and I'll just continue my search now 2 years in.

I see, I see. Well I hope you find a good one, but it is definitely worth it to wait and find the RIGHT one. At least you have some other goodies to keep you company.
