Broncozorus

Hi folks! You may recognise this road from the previous post, but do you recognise the car? It is one of the first vehicles I have shown you on this blog, right here. I was writing at the time that it was an excellent car which I had therefore barely modified. It is still excellent, but I made a few changes to it. The car is slightly higher, slightly longer and the bonnet slightly lower and slightly longer. You have to know the vehicle well to notice all that! Most conspicuous is the rear white structure I had in mind for a long time. My model for all that is, of course, the Ford Bronco from the 1980's. 

From above, it is easier to sea the police and light bar on the roof and the air vent on the bonnet. I don't consider the work to be done once and for all! The car is more of a work in progress.

For a lower profile, the light bar on the roof can be easily removed. With the police lights on, no specific marking and its dark red colour, this 4x4 is a perfect patrol and transportation mode for my jobs as a Sheriff and a Fire Marshall, as well as a very convenient "civilian" car for every other occasion.

The Last Defender

Hi folks! This is my new toy! I managed to convince those chaps in Solihul to make a last effort at transforming my newly acquired Lego 4x4 (set 60165) into a Land Rover Defender inspired car. While I was here, I went for the full length version. It is absolutely sturdy and reliable despite its size, and perfectly versatile. 

The rear hatch opens for easy access to the vast boot, which is very convenient for loading your grocery bags or for other purposes.

(Please also notice the clever system imagined by His Grace the Duke to prevent the antennae from breaking if the car is driven underneath some low obstacle.) 

But my favorite position when traveling in this car is definitely standing through the sun roof I had added in the middle. Once again, this aperture is pretty convenient for all sorts of reasons. Oh, and of course, I have to have a driver taking care of the driving bit while I stand through the roof! 

(Please, notice the red and blue police lights discretely fitted in the front and protected by a very straightforward and solid bull bar.)

This brand new car, with its distinctive 'Jam Sandwich' style pattern is already one of my favorite ones in my entire collection.

At last, those same photos as a YouTube slideshow:
