RE: Cardiff tomorrow (Tues 16th)

There's defo a rear wash wipe ANT - RTFM........................there's a link to it now stickied at the start of the General section LaughingLaughing

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Thanks Tim.
Sorry about the mistake.
That was one of the only things that bothered me a bit, So I'm glad to be proved wrong.

The Prestige I drove had 20" wheels, but I've ordered 19"s for mine. I only drove one car on the road, so it was impossible to make any comparisons.
I was pleased with the ride quality so I'm hoping 19"s with AD will be superior.

I believe the Ambience interior is going to be relatively easy to keep clean. I had a RRS with a similar colour for 3 years and when I sold it the interior was in excellent condition.

RE: Cardiff tomorrow (Tues 16th)

Don't know if I'll be able to live without the middle arm rest and I found the driver's door window too high to use comfortably in the style to which I have become accustomed.................... Land Rover style with right arm resting on the door casing not the door arm rest!
Not so good to hear you think the Plus seats aren't too comfy too, at Gleneagles they had a Dynamic Plus but we couldn't sit inside it.

I know what you mean Tim.
You can raise the seat base up quite high, so you may be able to get a suitable postion for resting your right arm (and still reach the pedals).
However, it's not the same as a FFRR or RRS for that "armchair feel".

So I shouldnt be too worried about having specced the 20's without AD them which is good news. Cant wit for the Stowe event now.

Arrived 16th December 2011: 5 door Prestige SD4 auto in Barolo black with ambience interior, pano roof, privacy and 20" style 6 alloys.Very Happy

Have fun tomorrow.

The website won't let me post pics, because they are too large. I'll have to try and downsize them.

Do you have any photo's of a Prestige Coupe in Ipanema sand per chance?
Lots of CGI around but a real one would be nice.
See my signature and you will know why!
Cheers

Griff, a little out of focus… but first non Dynamic Ipanema I've seen a picture of (the one on the left)

RE: Cardiff tomorrow (Tues 16th)

Was wondering if anybody could take pics of the Pure Dynamica suede/Leather interior pls? And do a short review?

And compare the Prestige vs Dynamic exhausts? Is it just the finishers which sets them apart or its more complicated than that.
