Thats not a Defender.. Thats an Old Series 3 over 30 years old with Coil spring upgrade.

So much for the Brand name Jeep. Even the new ones cant match the older Land Rovers. If I'm not mistaken that second one is the new Wrangler sponsored by D*mo for 4X4 challenge.

Any idea where this took place cos it looks quite similar to the area where I live around and go for a bath.

yup the 2nd one is indeed the new wrangler...

this took place closer to galagedara (spelling?!) just beyond the bridge... there's a perera & sons branch opposite the descent to the field...

Oh my god... Its as I thought, I live around this area but sadly the Motor show took my day that day or else I could have gone to see the action. Good mud eh??? specially now the decent down to that place should be covered in mud with the rain and possibly underwater.

the motorshow was on the previous weekend dude... anyways this happened at the last minute so i didn't really have time to call anyone... the next time something like this gets off ground i'll keep you informed... and yes it was good mud but there's probably about 4-5 feet of water now...
