Only 4 in a 220 mile motorway run

Just driven from Stirling to Liverpool and apart from 6 on a transporter heading north on the M6 I only saw 4 Evoques in 220 miles, and one of them, a Silver Pure 5door, was parked a coupe of slots away at Teebay Services. Pity anybody Who got stuck in the monster tailback northbound between J19 and J24, looks like a trailer load of Heinz Tomato Soup was shed onto the 2nd and 3rd lanes northbound -should make for interesting coloured stains on white cars! Saw way more Q3's and Q5's than Evoques, and here's everybody saying how common Evoque has become.

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 heard on the radio traffic alert that it was beans.

I did most of that run yesterday, from Windermere to Watford, past the baked bean incident. Must admit, saw a good few RRE's in the lakes but generally I see way more Freelanders than anything else - very common on the roads.

Did see this one in Honister Pass though:

Mind you, it was mine...

RE: Only 4 in a 220 mile motorway run

Last week a drive from Mid-Sussex, via Tunbridge Wells (Sevenoaks Hi-Fi), to Sutton(Marsden), then Croydon (John Lewis) and back, I counted 37 altogether, and only 1 other Maurituis (oh hang on, that was in a shop window reflection Laughing !!) - they were mostly black, then white, then red (although I followed an Ipanema with black roof through Croydon - never been a fan of different roof colour, but this actually looked quite good!)

SD4 Prestige, Mauritius, Element, Cirrus Headlining, Pana Roof, Park Assist, Heated Steering Wheel,Blind Spot monitor, 20" Alloys, Powered Tailgate

of course it does, that's why I picked it.

RE: Only 4 in a 220 mile motorway run

Well going on the huge number of Evoques I saw on today's drive north then the best selling colour would be Mauritius Blue with white contrast roof, lots of them on the M6 going south and north! Followed by Firenze, Santorini, OG and Silver.i only saw one other Fuji in the trip.
