    Joker Defenders & Sedan-ified Velar

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss open with Steve’s trip to Eugene/Springfield and an update on his rough-but-charming 1998 Defender high-capacity pickup, which needs multiple repairs but may become a support vehicle rather than a full restoration. In the news, they react to Range Rover’s “British Summertime Collection” of lifestyle goods like blankets, purses, tea sets, and parasols featuring the new stacked-R logo, joking that the brand has become a purse company. They also discuss JLR’s color-shifting “Spectral Green” Works V8 Defenders with white interiors and roll cages, compare the look to the Joker, and mention recent Wall Street Journal coverage of vintage Defender demand.

They also touch on an airbag recall tied to corrosion and a stop-sale, share that cast member Linus Tremaine was hit by an uninsured drunk driver while driving a late-1920s Lincoln (he’s okay), update on a decal-covered 1958 Series II 109 pickup restoration, and preview the Ouray National Rally with a planned live show and guests.

    Steve Beres and Ike Goss (joined by Jenna) welcome off-road racer and stunt performer Sara Price, a Land Rover Defender Dakar team member and second-place finisher, to discuss her path from starting motocross at age eight to turning pro at 16, entering the stunt industry in LA, and transitioning into side-by-sides, trophy trucks, a 2019 Baja Championship win, and driving the full Baja 1000 solo for 19.5 hours. Price explains how she self-funded her first Dakar via the Road to Dakar, how Dakar teams and vehicles differ from U.S. racing, and how she joined Land Rover after a Facebook message. She shares key Dakar moments including winning the prologue, early suspension damage, a dangerous dune incident, and the Defender’s performance and support, plus post-Dakar races in Portugal and Argentina and her E1 electric hydrofoil boat racing.
