Is This 6x6 Fire Engine The Coolest Land Rover Defender? - Carfection

[@SmallBlogV8]

"I've no idea what I'd use it for... but I want one!" I often find myself feeling this way about several different vehicles... xD

[@Alex-xl4xe]

This is me with every Humvee I see.

[@rjrfletcher2355]

Absolutely, so want but for no practical or sensible reason :-)

[@sensiblezoomer]

Seriously in love with this channel

[@kruuuser]

Why do I feel that Henry (like any of us allowed to drive a fire engine) did not have to dig too deep to find his inner 5-year-old ! Another excellent film - 6.16 - "It's a Fire Engine!"

[@franzjager9931]

You can Launch a Defender film every week... It´s not going to get boring at all! Especially when Mr. Henry Catchpole presents!!Thumbs up :)

[@slambump1978]

basically

[@Zerofightervi]

So basically what you're basically saying is that basically you also basically noticed that the word basically was overused the bloke basically wasn't Henry.

[@fritzforstel8367]

I've built one of these from red lego over 20 years ago, because i saw one in my dad's land rover owners international. it looked absolutely nothing like the original. more like a red box with 6 wheels. but hey. that's what it is. :D

[@tommymusicofficial]

Best Carfection video ever !! Brilliant work Henry. Love the Landy !

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

A modifier in Sri Lanka had also developed a 6*6 like this as well. Also he’s built a LWB stretched defender.

[@gregmcnab9004]

I'd love a 'Fire trucks from around the globe' category in my collection!

[@Htiler]

God, you look like a land rover enthusiasts. Good bunch of guys who know everything about most things.

[@walterdavis4581]

Last saw this at 65th anniversary at Packington Hall. Lovely restoration.

[@Bacciagalupe]

Major love to all the first responders of the world ♥

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

The drinking game is full on with "basically"

[@Mr_Cholmondley_Warner]

Bryan I gave up after 3:45 was started to feel a bit sick, basically.

[@turnbull321]

Basically that is very, very cool. Basically

[@JackSwatman]

Thank god o watched this, you should put 'HC' in the video titles featuring Henry

[@colinjohnston8519]

Aye they going to do that just for you. It's a channel about cars. Not about which presenter you want to bone. Gay boys don't really get cars do you?

[@Homerlovesbeer2]

I can't help but look at Henry driving the Defender and think "why on earth is the seat back so short. Is it a fire engine for midgets?" Poor Henry, the seat back barely comes half way his back while the head rest is neck hight. Awesome ergonomics Land Rover 👍

[@boatdude12]

I can't help but think that's more to do with Henry than Land Rover

[@olafwagner]

The most unique feature of this vehicle is undoubtedly the 'pass-through' differential driving the 'middle' axle, and was truly disappointed not get even a single shot showing that up close...

[@matgee8892]

Its really not all that unique or special.

[@byronrich8623]

How does this have so few views? Insanity. Great stuff, as always. Thanks!

[@slaWterCH]

Childhood dreams coming true!

[@zGJungle]

There is one of these at BMW/Mini in Swindon, used to look at it every days as I went to and left work dreaming of owning it

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

Someone has already replied reqarding the different sirens and they are partly correct - the reason for the different sirens is that in built up areas you get multiple reflected siren sounds which confuse drivers as to the true direction of the emergency vehicle. The faster the siren sound the better driver perception of where the emergency vehicle is coming from. and the faster the siren sound also gives drivers the perception or urgency to move out of the way. Thousands of tests and many University degrees have been completed on Siren research. There's also massive research work on the colours used on emergency vehicles

[@onwheels8232]

Another cool defender 6x6 is the perentie. And it has an isuzu 4bd1 3.9l engine with an lt95

[@tgrey2555]

FYI, The different tones archive different distance, two tone for open longer roads as it travel further and subdues on passing. The other tones for change of pace such as slow pass at traffic lights to alert public when they’ve been use to two tone then change of tone when closer. Also of travelling in convoy second vehicle will attempt to transmit a different tone to the lead vehicle as public never look for the second vehicle, or third.

[@geoffhacker5033]

My work pump can pump the same amount and more at close to 10,000psi and is powered by a V12 twin turbocharged 28L, 1000hp CAT. Yet I'd still have this Landy any day of the week.

[@bencollins1907]

I am almost certain that the defender fire engine based at Gaydon was a V8 with carbs. When business protection arrived at our building, during the many false alarms, they would invariably leave the choke wide open!

[@jakspyder]

I love how much of a defender nerd you are!

[@4wdsome444]

My local fire department has a 6x6 range rover and a 6x6 series 3, i guess there are perks to the uk

[@brianflint6097]

fireman sam would love that

[@robertm3860]

I think I saw this driving down the M4 Eastbound on Friday 26 October afternoon!

[@floydp1042]

beautiful fire engine

[@gunnutcase1234]

That's brilliant

[@jackplant9232]

I bet it's tight in full fire fighter gear in the middle seat

[@tonypp.7093]

Basically, it's basically a fire engine

[@Alex-xl4xe]

1000 Liters/litres is quite impressive on that small car actually. Very nice first response unit actually.

[@shadik7892]

Hey Henry. Just finished watching your GT2RS video and this popped up. Extreme opposites but as a car lover, I enjoy anything car related. As a true car lover and auto journalist, you truly stand out in your content. Cheers. Just started my auto page on instagram as a tribute to my love of cars and my hobby of pretending to be an auto journalist; I photograph my car adventures for fun. @devotion2drive

[@RichardLyleEsq]

Love this. How old is Henry? It currently has 8 thumbs down. What is wrong with you people?

[@brad2064]

I got you fam, now 9!

[@millomweb]

What year was it built ? I'm trying to find the earliest 6X6 LR.

[@crgmrgn]

How about a history of Carmichael (the original LR/RR 6x6 conversions that were primarily used for fire engines), or their current successors Foley.

[@stephenvernon1076]

The RR/Carmichael Commando back in the 1970s was a 6x4. They had a floating rear axle, which wasn't powered.

[@basithph8958]

I remember when old Discoveries were used as ambulances

[@mjobrien69]

How does 6x6 work on a road? Does it mess up the diffs? When I had a '98 Hilux I was told not to lock in the diffs on tarmac as you'll do loads of damage in not so long amount of time as the wheels can't move independently especially when cornering..

[@Happymali10]

So...was it registered during the first years? Because if it wasn't, in a lot of countries (like Germany), you wouldn't be able to register it now, since it would have to follow current laws for new cars.

[@pamodousawaneh]

The best I love defenders

[@whos-your-mate]

I need a 6x6 defender. I wonder if there are any Perenties left....🤔

[@yiiiblaaad]

Is this the guy from big cook little cook?

[@millomweb]

Have you a licence for that vehicle ?

[@simonsupersi2225]

Wow i want one

[@gosportjamie]

Well, you'd find your commute an awful lot faster in one of those if it still had the bullhorn (aka the 'get the f**k out of my way' horn) fitted...

[@rjl110919581]

LOVE RED LAND ROVER

[@fraserwright9482]

Our local fire service in NZ had a 70s range rover 6x6 fire engine that never got used for bush off road fires thru the the 80s. Its as pointless as owning a limo in suburbia.

[@LAAutoShow]

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.

[@conconr322]

They did a mk1 range rover version to there to cool

[@Tuberuser187]

The half track Land Rover Defender is kind of cooler, though barely any where made.

[@andyfim]

Cool!

[@Callum.99]

We use a 6x6 land rover at work for out rescue crash truck it carries 1200l of water

[@Callum.99]

@mipmipmipmipmip you can feel the lean just have to watch your speed

[@veemacks7255]

What's this "premiere" nonsense? It's just another youtube video, like all the others.

[@edeggermont]

I think KZbin thinks it sounds way cooler to call it 'premiere'. Like in the movies

[@Yathuprem]

It's normal. But gives the viewers(also the youtubers) an interaction time by premiering it for the first time. After that it'll change to a normal video. Also viewers can donate money when premiering.

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

It's a truck tall Wolverine. Take the gutless boat anchor engine out if it and put in some version of a Cummins B Series in it and you'd be in the money!

[@bencrosbie]

Wow 😍😍😍

[@FRED25111247]

"Basically"

[@sevrdaf]

Dear Santa...I WANT A FUCKING FIRE ENGINE FROM LAND ROVER!!!,,-Please:-)

[@delilahtannehillram2001]

Is this Venus?

[@AF-nf4yf]

*Breaks down*

[@youtubezone7074]

Land Rover on steroids

[@100voicebox]

Basically, it’s a Fire Engine - basically, .....basically .....

[@EvanMoon]

Pinzgauer 6 x 6. They have a fire truck Version. The way they can drive up stairs and other ridiculous things is so impressive

[@ZeeBri]

Why is it going to a distribution centre in Banbury?

[@matgee8892]

Amazon have a massive distribution center in Banbury which spreads over several buildings so perhaps thats where its going. Or maybe Prodrive is the more likely customer especially if they are wanting to test vehicles on site.

[@cjmooncat]

The new owner of the vehicle owns a logistics / distribution company.

[@ZeeBri]

must be awesome being so rich that you can buy a sweet 6x6 fire truck that you don't really need for your business

[@cjmooncat]

LynxAdvert I’d imagine it must be awesome to be able to do what you want. The guy has worked incredibly hard and done well for himself so wouldn’t begrudge him at all

[@davidmansfield2332]

Basically, basically, basically, basically................

[@nw8000]

No its not the coolest Land Rover.......They did a 6 wheel Range Rover as well

[@stephencraddock6137]

Bias basically. & basically bias Being basic. Land rover Brilliance. Begging to be bought Basically. Nuff said. 😁

[@carterp2858]

Just a bit different.

[@scottfoster2487]

Typical small capacity fire truck from Europe lol

[@iqronaldo]

It is just for fashion & show off only..

[@Erin-Thor]

GOOD GAWD NO! Think how many homes would burn and people would die if this thing were used for ANY emergency situation! I’ve owned one, it got to the point where I couldn’t trust the thing to go get milk! 3 transmissions, several dozen misc. electrical or other failures, and almost 10 tows in just two years! I sold it at 47,000 miles and never looked back. But this idea... EPICALLY BAD!!!

[@dekuistic453]

933. Liker. Also I Like Planes And Airports Try To Do a AirPort 🚒

[@drhanifp]

"RI DCS"? More like ridiculous?

[@Thomas-om6ov]

Buy a jeep

[@zakelwe]

There are only 6 proper off roaders in order of being off road, lower to higher 1. Jimny 2. G Wagon 3. Defender 4. Jeep 5. Unimog 6. Sherp. You don't worry scratching your "wheels" in any of those. ;)

[@Mamaki69]

You forgot the Panda 4x4 😁

[@shawnparadox9299]

Not sure what a "sherp" is but I agree with that list

[@ScottishTouge]

Shawn Paradox sherpa tank

[@hulaanmo97]

[@mikereed9963]

Henry's now doing the gag videos. This channel is going downhill fast.
