I'll bring starlink Dave and we can do a week working from bush (wfb).I need somewhere to put a laptop (it appears someone has relocated my lap) when I need to do a bit of work between customers.
This I would definitely agree with.I would have preferred (if I were an Ineos customer) to have rails above the rear windows, so you have two strong mountpoints for mounting fuel racks etc.
Totally agree! Maybe IG 2.0 will have them.Why has Ineos decided to mount rails on the doors instead (or in addition) above the windows? That is why ask about the meaning of that. If an experienced camper or traveller would have designed this you would have seen rails above the rear windows (to put 60 kg of water and fuel there). Now, the aftermarket and you have to do it on your own whereas the chance wasn't used to provide that to the customer right from the start where it really would have made sense.

If enough people sign the petition...Totally agree! Maybe IG 2.0 will have them.
I have two mocha pots and they don't make espresso but they do make good coffeeHow is this better than a moka pot, gents?
Back to utility belt…
i share interest in seeing what develops over the years; its not immediately obvious how I will use it. I kind of expect things that would not have been obvious ideas at first.
I would be interested in a ‘jerry’ that could hang just off the window between roof gutter and rear window belt, with 20-30-ish litres of diesel, and maybe a kitchen box version using same frame. Even better if its a bladder inside the box, to use for other stuff when bladder empty. I wont often need additional fuel, but desert crossings…. Well, it would be a good spot for the few hundred km until its decanted. I prefer to travel light, and dont want a roof rack.
They put rails all along the side of the roof above the windows that you can fix things tooI would have preferred (if I were an Ineos customer) to have rails above the rear windows, so you have two strong mountpoints for mounting fuel racks etc. (for heavier things) It is a small pain to mount the lower rails on a Defender, because on the inside panel sheets are covering the access to the backside of the rail. That's why I used automotive glue and rivets to mount the lower rail. It was easy to mount the upper one.

I never drink a mug of coffeeYes, I sort of got into the habit of cortado/macchiato/piccolo (country depending) so the small moka is viable, but it’s not going to produce the sort of volumes required if one enjoys a mug of coffee. Sounds like I need to stick with that or try the pressurised solution @Sylvan has linked…
Do like a hot cup of soup n a cold day
Its funny, your June July and August weather is about the same as mine is here in the Berwickshire Riviera. It only gets colder after that lol.Cold is relative I guess.
