Australian Deliveries - chiggy - 30-04-2012 07:13am
Benzina,
My apologies! I would've loved to stop for a chat but was running late for a meeting already. Had a client breakfast in Cottesloe and was heading back north for a meeting.
Your car looks absolutely splendid! I absolutely love the colour combination and the dynamic looks dashing!

Cheers Chiggy, no worries,i thought you may have been in a hurry. Thanks for the complements hey.
Besides seeing your Evoque on the wharf before delivery, it was actually the very first Firenze red i've seen on the road so far, and it really looked exotic with the black roof....simply stunning!
All seems kind of funny and fascinating, when you think back to our Evoque journey's, from build dates on the other side of the world,then build completed,then the shipping journey, to now crossing paths on the road here in Perth.
Will have to stop and chat next time for sure.

I concur, I see a lot of Black coloured cars on carsales but no one is buying them. This might suggest they are not a popular colour. IMHO I like the black colours in dynamic with the white contrast roof only.
I believe white is the popular colour so the resale value should be higher (plus it costs less to purchase in the first place by not paying the rip-off cost of metallic paint). Just my thoughts only.

I wish I went for black.

Why...?
RE: Australian Deliveries - MH - 02-05-2012 09:39am
Who here actually tracked the cargo ship when it was nearing Australia?
We did lol.
Ours was on the FIDELIO!
Been such a long wait! Now we keep checking until it changes from DISCHARGED to DELIVERY ..
RE: Australian Deliveries - Neo - 02-05-2012 09:42am
hehe, I would do the same too (when the deliver date is close - Aug!!!)

Since 23 April I am the proud owner of my first Range Rover. Excellent handover by Paul James of Austral in Brisbane.
I live in Bundaberg and with 2 trips two Brisbane I have allready done 1900km. Only a few km's off road, but we have planned a trip to Fraser Island next month. So any off road Evoque advice is always welcome.
I had a little rattle on the drivers side caused by an not correct fitted panel in the knee airbag area. The problem was fixed by the dealer in a few minutes.
I love the car and (as many people said) after delivery I can't remember the months of waiting (ordered November 2011).
Attached a few pictures. One of them is of the Aussie tow bar. In my case it has a 12 pin flat connector. The RRE recognises my trailer without any problems thanks to the LED Adapter Module.
