Just booked LR Experience....

Hubby got a voucher for a half day LR experience when he recently purchased his RRS. I somehow managed to get my mitts on this voucher and have just booked us in at Peckforton Castle Very Happy When the lady asked what car we would like to drive I found myself uttering 'the Evoque please'....... Hubby doesn't need to know we had a choice Laughing

Booked it for early December so that's something to look forward to Smile

Hi Ali

Was walking around there on sunday...sandstone trail (raw head)...beautiful part of the country.

What other choices did you have locally (cheshire / n wales) as I am about to book one as well and didnt know where to go.

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

Hi!

Went onto the LR website - http://www.landrover.co.uk/experience. This shows the locations etc and then phoned the number on the voucher the dealer gave us. Peckforton Castle was the closest option for us, not too bothered how it compares to the other locations tbh, just wanted the easiest option. Apparently the voucher is for upto 3 people but booked it for just hubby and I.

Two time slots available, either 9am-12 or 1-4pm, so opted for the afternoon slot. Choice of cars but I think I can probably guess what you will go for Laughing I'm quite excited about it but will probably lose my bottle on the actual day!

Ali.

I'm sure you'll be fine once you're in the Evoque and have a great time. The instructors are usually pretty good at calming people down and encouraging those who are a little apprehensive.

RE: Just booked LR Experience....

I did the Peckforton one a few months ago.

It consisted of a quick demo off road by the instructor, a good on road test with a lot of info on the Evoque.

Then myself and my brother had a crack at the off road stuff. It took about 1.5hrs in all. A nice morning out.

The Evoque off road section was still being built up so Im guessing you will get much more off road then we did.

Arrived: 4WD SD4 Auto, Prestige, LUX Buckingham Blue w/everything apart from rear screens.
Current/ For Sale: C63 AMG Estate.
Gone: RRS TDV8, F360, Boxster S x3, F328GTS, Caterham etc...
