Land Rover Monthly

LARGER THAN LIFE!

Land Rovers and their owners are big on personalit­y, as you’ll find out inside this month’s LRM...

- DAVE PHILLIPS

Land Rovers are big vehicles – and their owners are often larger than life, too. Such is the case with this month’s cover stars: Chris Kill and the Defender he affectiona­lly calls his Monster Truck. It’s an appropriat­e nickname for a vehicle that dwarfs all around it on account of its big wheels and lifted suspension. And if you think Chris looks a tad familiar, that could be because you’ve seen him before. Back in October 2010 he was LRM’s youngest-ever cover star when he appeared with a brilliant Defender 90 he had restored himself, at the tender age of 17.

Since then, Chris has got into bigger and better things and these days runs his own Land Rover business. But rather than spoil the story, I’ll leave you to read all about it in our special feature, starting on page 44.

There’s no doubt Chris has become a Land Rover fan for life. In which case, he certainly won’t be lonely – there are plenty of us. If you don’t believe me, get to the Billing Show this summer and join the massed ranks of Land Rover enthusiast­s from all over the world who descend on this sleepy corner of Northampto­nshire to share their passion.

This year is Billing’s 25th birthday – full details, including booking informatio­n, can be found inside this issue on our news pages, and via our website.
