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?
RE: New Member - Just Purchased... now waiting! - Damo - 28-08-2012 07:31am
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!

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.
