Although then I could get those shadow chrome wheels... And Firenze Red... and Contrast Roof...
No! I mustn't!
No! You must!
I'm only 18 months in and I can only foresee the desire to change if I really was prepared to jump from the manual to the new 9sp auto. What could finally tip me would be more power! so for the time being I'll continue soaking up the depreciation!

Any idea when the Land Rover configurator for the Evoque will be updated? Building the revised model may just tempt me into making a decision to change sooner than later. Thanks

Congrats Tim on your new order.
Good to see that in the end you stuck with an RRE, after quite a few negative RRE comments on the forums with owners going elsewhere, you have shown that you and the "steering committee" still approve of the car.
Can't wait to hear about your new driving impressions.
I hope you have sufficient time to get the Full Factory treatment, if you can't get it, no one can.
The RR Sport is a truly tempting vehicle, whenever the advert comes on the volume is turned up, and rewound and run again (I'm a bit sad really).
Good Luck with your new car Tim.

An Evoque that can make the same noises out of the tailpipes as the new RRS and the F Type Jaguar, now that would go down well with owners, if not their neighbours!

Looks a well speced car. I need to come over here more often, I'm loosing touch with what's happening. I was in getting the spill rail looked at on the Freely, so had a little look around I would be lying if I said I wasn't drawn to the Evoques in the showroom. There was a nice Indus silver with black contrast roof that caught my eye, unfortunately at the moment I need the extra boot space. It looks like the next one for me will be the baby Discovery/Fl3 whatever there going to call it.

IKM, if you go into a dealership they can build a 2014MY car up for you now with the spreadsheets for spec and pricing
that LR issued to them.

A couple of people have asked me about the optional Active Driveline on SD4 - I have checked with Jeremy at Hadley Green Land Rover who is dealing with my order and he advises that Active Driveline is not an option yet on 2014MY cars, it is standard on UK spec 2014MY Si4. Both SD4 and Si4 get Torque Vectoring as standard for 2014MY in the UK.
It is possible that Active Drive will be come optional on SD4 as a later MY upgrade.
