RE: Heads up - Fifth Gear review on 14th Oct.

I don't know if this was the full test shown on TV but they have posted this on the website http://fwd.channel5.com/fifth-gear/video...ver-evoque
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.

Silver coupe dynamic with black panoramic roof, black headliner, what excellent taste! SD4 though...

Real endorsement of Magneride...

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

I think the Evoque was seriously impressive coming down that 1:1 slope. The short overhangs really work. I wonder if it would get up it?

thanks for the link! The video is to short, I want to get so much more!!!

By the way: In Germany there was a magazine with comparison test between Evoque and BMW X1. First time, that a german car have lost such a test yet.

MK82, if you do a search you will find the link to the You-Tube video of that test is already posted in the forum somewhere

RE: Heads up - Fifth Gear review on 14th Oct.

He does get his physics wrong in the crash though - he says that crashing the Focus into the wall at 120mph (wall not moving so relative speed is 120mph) is like two cars having a head on travelling at 120mph each - wrong, that would be a relative speed of 240mph, he should have said 60mph each to give a relative speed of 120mph
