RE: LR identity

"They're not scratches, they're battle scars".
My Def wears it's battle scars with pride.
I tried taking the RRS to several offroad events/meetings and was told by the organisers that it was too wide for many paths and gates on the routes, so I've mostly used the Def. Have done a bit of gentle offroading in the RRS, but never anything serious.
Any Land Rover product should carry the LR badge somewhere to show it's heritage and history, but I thought the Evoque was going to have Range Rover on the bonnet and tailgate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

RE: LR identity

Do we need a poll to find out who would like to take theirs offroad?

When I had my first LR I got it scratched............. was very concerned, the dealer said "och dinnae worry son, it's added character"
3 years later when I took it back to part exchange it the response to the scratching wasn't so humorous " Jezz laddie, you've been off road in it, I'll no be able to give you a good deal with those scratches on it"

RE: LR identity

No they won't - Evoque has Freelander2 hubs and they are different to the D3/RRS - otherwise I would have kept the 4 x MTR's on D3 19" wheels /4 x Winter Tyres on RRS 19" V spokes and 4 x spare 20" RRS Stormers that I have just sold on Disco3 and RRS.co.uk. The other place to sell them is on the VW Transporter Van forums as judging by the number of RRS Supercharged style wheels I see on those they fit VW van hubs too!

RE: LR identity

Will be interesting to see what LR is planning to do with the defender @ Franfurt, I believe they're previewing the new look.

RE: LR identity

Whatever they it will only be good for used values of existing Defenders - I believe the new one will look more like a Disco1 than a Defender..............

RE: LR identity

The thought is it will be disco based anyway...Sad
Must admit, I do have a tinge of sympathy for them having to do something with the Defender, cos whatever they do, it won't be right!
