RE: Getting rid of the evoque!

With all of those cars in your garage I wonder why you even considered a Range Rover Evoque, ANY 2.0l Turbo must be a big disappointment with all those other horses available

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.

True! But I was looking for something more economical to get to and from the office!
The evoque seemed like a great choice as it is beautiful and simply a great car!

G63 as an economical commuting car? Shocked

If you're set on an AMG Merc, isn't the ML63 a better alternative - closer to an Evoque than a Defender?

With those cars on the lot one would assume the term "economical" would be of lesser significance....Bow downBow down

Seconded.

I do appreciate your amazing car collection though. Well done you.

Am I jealous? Yes

Would I be uploading pictures of my car collection at every opportunity? Probably

Can you drive them all at once? No

Would I spend 3-4 times more on an G-Wagen than my beloved Evoque? Hell No

I'm glad I don't live in Canada...

As I read it, if you drive 30 mph over the (already low) speed limit, on a second offence, you can lose your licence for 10 years.

Makes this collection of cars a little pointless... Garage Queens.

I've always been a fan of the G-Wagen but good Lord what have they done with this latest incarnation? - looks like they got the intern to design that front end "bumper" and grill!

This could be said for most new generation German cars - BMW being a prime example Sheep But that G-Wagon looks like a recycled Lada.

The G63 comes with a "gas guzzler" tax included down here. What is it 8 mpg city? Enjoy your economical commute to and fro. You way funny guy!
