Factory visit - So, where were you all ?? ....

I'm afraid going to a factory and taking photos of cars is worse than being a trainspotter. I'm genuinely quite taken aback by how, for want of a less impolite word, sad some people are.

I thought the whites were the most popular not Firenze

Anyone know why the bumpers are always a bit darker, like on the Mauritius? and all the Firenze's I've seen

I thought it was due to them being plastic but the front wings are plastic too aren't they? so the fronts should match

And possibly those that take time to comment on it

I for one am very interested! Great to see the ratio of colours, and to have a look at the less common Mauritius and Colima against the white.

That's a very odd comeback. That's be like suggesting those who condone murder as as back the the murderers themselves.

No, commenting on your photos certainly not as bad as driving to the factory with a camera, taking photos, uploading them and then, a week later, going on a tour of the factory organised by an Internet forum.

Each to their own I guess

Whatev - it must be very lonely in your world.

You could argue even being on this forum is a bit trainspotterish. Touché!

I for one am glad to finally see the blue outside on a cloudy day because that's what I've ordered. Around my way the only Evoques are in hairdresser white driven by WAGs! Hopefully will get to see a blue in the wild soon and if it doesn't look rit, might switch to the lime

.... However I am with you on this one.

The salesman offered me a factory tour and driving experience so I kind of understand this kind of thing for the Land Rover brand. Group outings with people who happen to own the same car as me is not something I'm interested in but each to their own and I hope everyone has a great day out.

Again, a very odd thing to say! How many people were with you when you took those photos? And these people you going on a factory tour with - old, close, valued friends are they?

Lonely I certainly am not, but thanks for your concern. I think.

Just ignore him.

Personally I can't wait to do our factory visit.
