Oakmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ellen DeGeneres Gives Portia De Rossi $160,000.00 Defender for ChristmasRead more: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/ellen-degeneres-portia-de-rossi-christmas-surprise-video-2014121#ixzz2qNRzGvNY "In a section of her talk show titled Celebrity Christmas Stories, the 55-year-old comedian shared a heartwarming story of how she managed to surprise her leading lady of six years with a $160,000 keepsake."

neil3728 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 could do with some details on the vehicle, such as how the hell is it worth 160,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakmaster Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Well I hesitated before posting it - but it is pretty funny (I think) - and to be fair it implies she paid $160,00.00 - Not that its worth $160,00.00, elswhewre it says that Defenders are rare and havnt been made for 20 years - But the one thing they did get right: It is a very cool truck!

Big.Mike Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 That's blooming fantastic. It's a nice that someone famous is passionate about defenders. To be fair, if it was a completely rebuilt vehicle with custom paint, suspension, etc. etc. (the way they do in the states) $165,000 is probably not far off the mark.
