Unfortunately, this is one of the last pictures I have of the Defender. It met
its demise (and I almost met mine) this summer in Utah.

WOW!!!!

Did you lose your trailer too?

How'd you do that?

Yep. Here's a picture of what was left. It ended up about 5' up in a tree. I
wish I could have gotten some pictures of the accident site, but I couldn't get
out by myself and they left me in the Rover until the ambulance got there.

How'd you do that?

An oncoming car darted out from behind a truck and ran me into the ditch. I
rolled 3 or 4 times but all I got were some cuts, bruises and a bum
shoulder.Luckily I was only about a mile from Kanab, UT, and they got me out and
to the hospital pretty fast. The other driver didn't even bother to stop.

That sucks big time! You must have see your life flash while you were
rolling!

Too bad on losing that rig. It was THE Choc signature.

(Glad you're OK)

Yeah, I miss it. I was able to get a new truck and trailer with the insurance
money, though, but I decided not to spend it on a 10 YO Defender.

What did you get for a trailer? Similar kind of thing? I'm looking for
something.

I got an Adventure Trailer Chaser (www.adventuretrailers.com). These are the
same guys I bought the other trailer from, but now they're making them here
instead of importing them from SA.

Holy crap! Geeze, CC, sorry to see this, your rig was one of the coolest I've
seen. Looking at the remains I have to assume you had your seatbelt on.

Got a picture of your new deal?

Is that an FJ? How does it roll compared to the Rover?
