I didn't watch that show regularly, but I do remember the episodes surrounding his hot rod(s). IIRC, in response to his family taking issue with him selling the Ford, he bought a dilapidated shell of a '40s Ford convertible to start building a whole new hot rod with the family.

@@DiRF yes! And, as beautiful as the 33 is, I loved the second hot rod. The cool thing is Tim Allen still owns both of them along with a lot of other cars. In fact, I think the ‘66 Ferrari that Al’s girlfriend, later wife, gives him is actually Tim’s car.

I don't agree, I've never really been a fan of the silly faces, I am a regular watcher because Doug is 100% thorough and filmed every aspect of the car, even ones that come out better in PR shots than in a sunglared iPhone camera. Ugly/laggy/confusing infotainment, fingerprintable surfaces, cheap plastic bits snuck into a luxury interior, back seat usablility, these are directly useful to the car buyer. I was a regular watcher until Doug started watering down his content, reviewing less than interesting cars just for his site, eliminating the Doug Score, and collaborating with insipid influencers. He should also stay out of the comments. Admonishing his fans for joining in as he drove like a maniac in his Carrera GT, then later buying a Countach because the Carrera GT really wasn't getting enough attention, that was just gross.

In the early 90s l wanted the four door Defender, l told a friend of mine and he said why don't l buy his Bronco. I was Godsmacked! A 1968 unmolested V-8 manual with 68k miles that he bought new. I still have it. I did change it from a 3 on the tree to a 6 speed, added vintage air and a bunch of insulation under the rubber mat. Like your Defender the Bronco has been involved in many wonderful adventures so l understand your sentiment and reason for selling it. I own vintage Ferraris and Lamborghinis but driving a topless 4x4 on the beach is every bit as exhilarating

I drove Land Rovers for 29 years, 1964 to 1993. I loved the cars. Spent about eleven of those years selling Land Rover and Rover parts in San Diego. I've owned a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, the JK, since April 2012. My Rubicon, which has just under 45,000 miles on it after twelve years of ownership, has been one-hundred percent reliable except for having had its navigation system replaced at almost 12,000 miles. All the Jeep's radiator and heater hoses are the originals. No oil leaks. The speedometer has never been replaced. No broken rear axle shafts. While I'll always have a warm spot---read hot spot---in my heart for well-cared for Land Rovers, my "season" of ownership long ago ended. I'm now seventy-six years old. From time to time I've thought about buying another well-cared for Land Rover, as I told my late wife some years ago, "Don't ever let me buy another Land Rover. It would destroy our marriage." Fortunately for me, the woman I've been married to since 2011 was my wife when I ordered the 2012 Rubicon. Debbie loves Jeeps just as much as I do. A Jeep is not quite a member of the family, but it is a damn close and very reliable friend. In this day and age, you should be able to easily get $125,000 minimum for your Land Rover. Perhaps even over $200,000.. Best of luck to you, Doug! Andy McKane, 5 April 2024, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

We've really seen the transition from Daddy Doug to, well, Daddy Doug. The youtube journey is not over, it's just a natural progression and I'm here for it.

I mean cool, we can get these in the UK for 500 quid, and a good one for.....maybe 4 or 5 K

It's alright, Doug. I understand why you're selling it. Touching video. The look on your face when reviewing this car says it all about your connection to it. Life goes on.

Doug ...the type of guy who will sell his loved ones when it's time to do it... as long as it happened inside one of his business's 👋

If you listen to the audio of this video and imagine Doug laid out on a therapist's couch it makes so, so, so much more sense.

No one should fault you for putting your family’s safety first. And even keeping it just to drive it alone here and there, at some point it starts to feel like you’re being selfish with your time, which is not great either. You’re selling not for all the right reasons. Congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your second child!! ❤

I miss my old 1994 D90. 😢 Bought it new in ‘94. Drove it all over the Colorado high country passes and Utah high desert. Great times!

Doug, please fix your sound. It's the most important part of a KZbin video and do you have neglected it for too long. Edit: Love the video, love everything you do. Just wish you could solve this.

Does it come with the scale-model you had created for it?

[@snailnda]

exaclty what i was thinking! i hope he keeps it, it is beautiful

[@eugenyl.155]

Don't be sad! Your own custom model of this Defender will always stay with you!👍
