Can't wait! Saturday collection

My Evoque is being prepared...SuperGard wotnot etc.

T'was just 2 weeks ago that I was still exclusively very happy with my Discovery 4 and not really serious about changing it. Seeing more Evoque's on the road however prompted an in-depth look and this led to much research - including joining BabyRR - and eventually a test drive.

The test drive itself was an unusual event in itself for me; most of my car's were bought having never driven them beforehand. The Disco 4 was the first exception but only because I had driven my Dad's Disco 3 on safari in South Africa.

But I had to be sure...the Disco 4 is an exceptional vehicle and so very practical for a family. The test drive revealed what I had read in countless reviews - the Evoque is a great compact SUV performer on-road and is more than capable off-road too (certainly for what it is likely to see in my use).

I spent some time contacting various Dealers around the Country and found my car:
Evoque Dynamic Coupe Si4 with Lux pack in Orkney grey with Pursuit interior.

I could probably get it sooner but work prevents this so Saturday it is! A 177 mile drive to collect - gives me some quality time in the car straight away! Very Happy

I've always preferred smaller cars - before the Disco I had a BMW Z4M (I've had two Z4's over the years) and nothing larger than a 3-series BMW. My wife wanted a Mini Cooper S though and I agreed to get the family car so she could get one and the Disco 4 was it. I nearly bought the Freelander 2 - more the size I liked but it didn't feel special enough to me. Now I'm returning to a smaller vehicle that looks to tick all my wish list boxes Cool

Excited? You betcha!

Pictures to follow on Saturday....

Great news. You will not regret it. A disco tried to follow me round a corner at my speed today. I would not have liked the smell in his car as he almost lost it Laughing

Thanks Guy's, gonna be a long wait until the weekend. Hopefully I'll still be able to get some work done this week still! Lol

Really looking forward to your photos because I'm changing my mind about the colour of my order on a minute by minute basis ... Very Happy

Coolbanana - can you also take some night time shots as well? I've been thinking that maybe Borolo shows its worth under street lighting at night.

If we keep these requests up, he'll have no time to drive it. Laughing

Hi Leveller, Evo-King,

I will be taking loads of pictures, no worries about that - my car is Orkney Grey with Pursuit interior though, not black.

Yes, I know it's Orkney, but it makes no difference, I love pics.
