RE: Order Changed - no longer the Girl from Ipanema!

I loved my Coupe as it was a great deal of fun to drive, the new one is better in most respects thanks to continuous developement due to customer feedback and moving things on. The 2014MY cars though are a big improvement on the very early cars - quieter, smoother riding, better handling (torque vectoring works really well on the twisty roads around here) and I had another two 52mpg journeys today from home to town and return, previously I would have got 37mpg max. Now have 540 miles clocked up since Saturday pm!

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.

I can say for sure I can fling mine around corners faster and with a LOT more confidence than with previous vehicles, to the point that I think the Wife is going to regret there not being overhead grab handles like in most cars. Cool
