Houston - ant - 26-10-2011 08:40pm
I've been in Houston since Sunday. On the way over I thought "there's bound to be Evoques in Texas?".
I'm in an office on the edge of i10 on the west side of Houston city centre and there must be 200,000 vehicles passing by per day. I had a 1 hr taxi ride from the airport to the hotel and must have clocked thousands of vehicles.
Guess how many Evoques I've seen.
That's right, ...... absolutely none.
It's still a rare beastie.

Ps only seen 1 FF and 1 Sport too, which is unusual.

I dont know if many Texans would drive RR in the first place; i know they have a good exotic car scene down there though.

Welcome to Houston. I'm in Houston and have an Evouqe (but haven't seen any others). I think you may be missing the presence of RR in Houston due to your location (try Midtown/Kirby/West U/Woodlands). We have 3 RR dealers in Houston alone.

We have three dealers in a 30 mile radius! LOL!

ALL the cars here are soooooo clean. I guess that's because there's no rain.
However there's rain due this afternoon - just after I fly out. It's also snowing in north Texas - Amarillo whilst it's still sunny and 88' where I am.
I'll keep my eyes peeled on the way to the airport, but not hopefull of a sighting.
Went to the Cheescake factory for a meal last night and got stuffed.
Looking forward to getting home now and back into the Evoque for a nice drive on the weekend.
Flying visit but I will return!!!!

You might be right, but I'm in the "energy belt" where there's lots of offices - thought I might see some fancy cars here, but other than the odd 'Vette, nothing unusual.
Lots of pick up trucks of course. Only one 'shed' dragging its arse along the freeway - a 1970' something or other in metallic rust colour. Everything else is pretty new and modern. Everyone seems to drive a new car!!!

PS spotted one more FFRR last night. so that's 3 in total. I spot more than that in St. John's, Newfoundland.
