Landrover experience

Yesterday my brother and I did a Land Rover off road experience at the Solihull factory. Had a choice of Disco, Sport, Full Fat Range Rover or Defender. Chose the Defender for our first run then the Sport. All I can say is WOW, these cars are fantastic. Really enjoyed the Defender but the Sport is something else, what a car, made good use of the cars cameras while going through the Jungle. The cars capabilities are brilliant, I thought these cars just looked pretty but the really perform off road.

The instructor told me the Evoque can do pretty much what the sport can, just have to drive it a little differently.

If you've never done the off road (which I hadn't until today) I strongly recommend it.

Fantastic day but forgot to take photos.

Can't wait until I get my Evoque but thinking I Need a Sport

Next you'll be selling that Stag for Defender, might even be a better investment too as Defender production stops in 2015/2016MY................. My much abused 1996 90 TDi300 County is now worth what I paid for it 12 years and 30000 miles ago and all it has had done to it in that time was an £1100 galvansied chassis to replace the rotten painted mild steel one, a £700 conversion from a van to a stationwagon (2 sets of bench seats to take 4 rear passengers, seatbelts and a pair of large side windows) and last year a new Hi/Lo transfer box after I ran it for 100 miles with no oil in it after an offroading incident. Apart from that and a hydraulic winch on the front it is standard.

Why not sign up for the Eastnor Castle event in October when we will be doing the LRE there in Evoques - maybe even our own!

The Stags a keeper, in fact I'm thinking if having it restored!

What's going on at eastnor then? Where can I find details?

Details of Evo-King's event at Eastnor are in the events section here
