Buying a Defender, changing trends and bringing back trialling

In this week's episode, Land Rover Monthly's Martin and Steve answer a listener's question regarding which era of Defender to choose for his first Land Rover. Martin shares a tale of his driving instructor's wary approach to Land Rovers, and Steve remembers what got him into the Green Oval in the first place – an old logging truck called AlCraig.

The pair look at how trends in the Land Rover scene have come and gone over the years, and wonder if it's time to return the mighty RTI twist-off ramp to Land Rover shows. There's also an introduction into the wonderful world of trialling, and why trails competitions should be growing in size rather than declining.

There's also the ever-popular Feature of the Week and Product of the Week to give you a taste of what's in this month's Land Rover Monthly magazine, and as always, if you have questions, feel free to send them to editorial@lrm.co.uk – enjoy!
