have a buggy
defending the spirit of no applause
there are a group of off-roaders
I’m guarding the feelings that others don’t understand
That car, it’s a Defender.
Those people are the riders of the Defender Land Rover
give me a guard
besides
i want nothing more
What does guard mean?
Probably, it is an indescribable belief
Look at the guard with worldly eyes, it’s expensive
Its shape and interior are still stuck in the last century
Not fashionable, not comfortable, not modern, not technological
even
Even the owner of the Defender joked that he drives a tractor
but in the eyes of those who love it
Guardian is Faith
It’s authentic British style
Its square and tough guy shape
Its simple, pure and reliable purely mechanical construction
Its strong off-road performance…
Everything is enough to love it and believe in it
Defender rider says:
There are no two identical Defenders in the world
Every guard is unique
Perhaps this is classic and eternal
And as a unique classic model
it can appear anywhere in the world
Its owner can be anyone
If in today’s English countryside
You see a Defender covered in mud
its owner was probably a farmer
It could also be a star or a royal…
For example, the cars of the Queen of England and Beckham are all it
Don’t be surprised because it’s a guard
born different
it was born for the earth
But it is born with both wildness and nobility
With a guard, you can travel all over the world
To travel and make friends, to modify off-road, to explore and adventure
Whenever, wherever, as long as you want
It can accompany you to achieve
you never have to worry about anything
because maybe it’s not refined enough
But it’s reliable enough, trustworthy enough
Maybe guard also means a symbol
So, even though it has long been discontinued
its fans
But it still creates its legend in the rivers and lakes
For example this –
2018 China Land Rover Defender Club Shennongjia Carnival
70 years ago in 1948
Sandy beach at Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey, UK
Witness the initial design sketches of the Land Rover model
70 years later in 2018
Shennongjia, Hubei, China
Witness the world’s largest gathering of Land Rover Defenders
China Land Rover Defender Club registered in 2015
This is an organization formed spontaneously out of common interests
Members are all over mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan
Singapore, Canada and other overseas countries
The Shennongjia Carnival is an annual event of the club
This is a collection of self-driving crossing, scenic spot tour, activity exchange
Travel experience exchange activities integrated with other projects
To put it simply, this is a big party exclusive to the guards
And every year thereafter, on September 11th
This is the annual meeting of the guard club car friends
There are not many Land Rover Defenders in China
Big Bird, founder of the Land Rover Defender Club, said:
“There may be only more than 2,000 vehicles in the whole country”
However, the number of guards present at this event reached more than 130
check-in day
Watching one after another come from thousands of miles away
Just because of a call, I came here without hesitation
Guards lined up neatly at the entrance of the hotel
Brother Bird suddenly said:
“Actually, we can all apply for Guinness World Records”
because even globally
Such a large-scale gathering of Land Rover Defenders is also extremely rare
Maybe, this matter can really be put on the agenda of the annual meeting next year
