New Member - Just Purchased... now waiting!

Damo - what date do you have for Oct delivery...?

Also - I am coming from my MX5 that Ive had for 12 years... just remember to get in the front seats after putting something in the back. The number of times I have gone to get in wrong door of Mrs Queevo's vehicle... well it's still embarrassing the the tenth time you do it.

When new/sparkling clean they look amazing, but even a little bit of road dust/dirt makes them look very dull. Plus, the all black look (body, glass, roof) hides some of the styling touches of the Evoque, which is a shame IMO.

Totally agree Titan, i had a black Ti Murano, classy looking no doubt but what a bugger to keep clean....I'm glad i stuck with white...had it a week and didn't realise how dusty/dirty it was until i peeled off a window sticker! I wouldn't allow the colour (black) to peev me because i know it looks good but is always dirty!

Queevo - still don't have a confirmed delivery date, or even build date. I emailed the dealer on Saturday, but he says the status hasn't changed. I hope that's not a bad sign!

Do you think I should have these dates confirmed by now?

Okay, a few dates have now been provided. Car has a build data of 13 August and should dock in Australia 01 October. I presume it's another 2-3 weeks post this date until I'll receive it?

So looking forward to getting it - seeing more of them on the road now, they are just such a beautiful looking car!

Nice Damo!

It usually takes 2 weeks after it lands in Port of yr state.

You can track yr car and the ship it on at marinetraffic.com

Well after what seemed like forever, my beautiful Evoque has arrived! I was travelling for work when it docked so my dealer kindly sent me a pic to keep me company. I got back Sunday and picked it up Monday Oct 22nd. It's stunning, a truly gorgeous car. Happy with every option I chose, and love the colour combo of Orkney Grey with black roof.
The one downside is that the pano roof has a big, ugly scratch! Naturally took it straight back to the dealer, he has ordered a replacement glass panel. Unfortunate, but not too big a deal.
I'll post some photos once I get some decent ones.

Damo
Congratulations on the delivery of your new "Baby". Pity about the roof, but enjoy after the long wait.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Congrats mate, enjoy the ride. They get better with age

Congrats!
