Today was collection day & ......

Well today i finally got to drive off in my Evoque after a 5 month wait.

Car was supplied by Ripon Landrover

Dylan Mckensie was the sales man

They brought the car in 1 month early

Very happy with service from Ripon & Dylan they seem to get factory order cars with no problem

We have already swapped the headlight bulbs for whiter ones to try to match the side light

First impressions are as follows

Drives well
Goes well
Feels quality
Good stereo

41 mpg average since collection 111 miles of mixed driving

Has it been worth the wait ???


YES

Happy to finally join the family

SD4 Arrived, Fuji , 20" style wheels, Privacy glass, Front fogs, Auto wiper and Auto Lights, Black leather

Must be really filthy weather back home for you to get it so dirty in 111 miles driving...... Or you didn't get the car in your signature! Congratulations on the new arrival is it Havana?

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.

@ Jonathon555 I think what XFFT was referring to is that your signature says

SD4 Arrived, Fuji , 20" style wheels, Privacy glass, Front fogs, Auto wiper and Auto Lights, Black leather

But the picture is not a Fuji ??

Nice car anyway and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
