Land Rover experience - Scotland

Just had an e-mail from LRE, Eastnor do group/corporate days.

I did the experience half day at Eastnor yesterday, and was told the same thing. It seems that they will cater for bespoke packages by request, to include food.

I took my dad to dunkeld in march with free 1/2 day voucher and it was awesome!!! The evoque was hugely capable. So much so the other 2 disco 4s stopped to watch us go through the water and through a muddy section incase we couldn't make it!!

Cheers Gav, I will ask the dealer next time i'm in

Why not? LRE's show you the car at it's best and how easy it is to do what the car is meant to do without causing damage. You don't have to do what I do in my Defender as, yes, that would be mad but taking you car down a country track or on a forest drive is great fun and needn't cause damage. Except for my first Disco1 all my land Rovers and Range Rovers have been taken off road, often within the first month of ownership. None has been damaged but all got very dirty, including both my FFRR's - you should see the look on people's faces when they see a £72000 car on road tyres doing what Defenders usually play at offroad on mud tyres and not get stuck! Unless your Evoque is a company car then don't be too precious with it otherwise you might have spent your money more wisely on an X3 or a Q5 that looks like a 4x4 but cannot do 4x4 things. There is one caveat though, before you take your car off the tar make sure that you have proper insurance, it isn't hard to get but none of the discount insurers will provide it, no matter how much you offer them to give you cover. In my up market Lnd Rovers and Range Rovers I have suffered way more damage to the cars due to other drivers and careless shopping trolley drivers that I have done to them offroad.
