My New Evoque!

Ah Tim, you called my bluff! We do have lots of glorious sun - except for November through February which is one long rain shower, that rusts the golfclubs but dusts the ski hills with powdered snow.
It really is a beautiful city (shhh, don't tell too many people - I may be getting a 5 door but interior room might get tight for visiting BabyRR peeps needing a ride from the airport!)

Congrats !!!!

Awesome! Looks great!
This means i should get mine in the next few weeks!

Good to see some americans and canadians here too!

Not in the immediate future - see above comment

Congrads! It looks beautiful. I'm sure you will enjoy it in sunny California.

I am one of the other USA members here (Chicago) and this forum seems to have the most action and the members here have been very inviting and informative. I haven't pulled the trigger yet on ordering my Evoque yet as I heard about the delays in deliveries and my dealer just showed me an email saying that 20" wheels were not available to order until November. I am waiting until they have everything sorted out.

And now I hear they are toying with a 300 hp Evoque so now I really am not sure if I want to wait for that.

Land Rover should do like other manufacturers such as Audi with its Stasis packages and Bmw with its Dinan packages and do a Tuning kit available through the dealer and still covered under warranty. This way those with their Evoques already could be included in the fun.

And on that bombshell...goodnight!

Ive also heard about a "Special vehicle" that is a uprated high power petrol turbo car. I here it will have a new bigger turbo and a tubular manifold on and will be built in special vehicles to order.

why do your cars have registration plates like that fitted ? Im just interested really what all the text and numbers mean as its a new layout look that ive not come accross before.

Yes DDX is correct. When you purchase a brand new vehicle in California, the dealership actually installs what are called temporary "dealer plates" until the DMV (department of motor vehicles) sends you your permanent plates. this generally takes about 6 weeks.

thank you all for welcoming me to this forum. it should be a great resource!!!

P.S. why doesn't anyone post any photos of their cars!??!

Because we don't have them yet

Nice!

Out of all the forum members there are only 8-9 members in the UK and a couple more like yourself who have ownership so far, that's nearly 6 weeks after the official launch. I think apart from one owner everybody else has posted at least one picture of their pride and joy.
