You drive a Defender, but an Evoque drives you. :/
I drove one a couple of days after launch, I was delivering it to the docks for export but had a quick spin around the dock. Lovely thing and well put together indeed, and no doubt cutting-edge technology, but totally soulless. I find most cars like that anyway. I wouldn't swap my Defender for anything. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

G'Day Braydog from another 90 owner in sunny downtown Aspendale, what suburb are you in?
Cheers, Pickles. |

I saw the new baby disco today on test in Banbury. It was LHD and covered in camouflage. It looked like a boxier Evoque to me. I was surprised how small it was

I commute in my 90 to MK, I find that it keeps up really well with traffic and I'm not the slowest vehicle through or between all the roundabouts.
It does make people wonder at times! Darren |

You made the right choice, I had a new rr sport from land rover assist, for a week, yes fantastic drive, every gadget under the sun. The novelty wore off within a few days and the amount of electronic gizmos scared me to death. I pined for my defender back. I think it's in your blood, you love them or hate them.
Get it re - mapped and it will make the commute smoother and quicker and put a bigger grin on your face !!! I commute everyday in mine and would never swap for anything else at the minute. Oh and everybody seemed to hate me in a rr, talk about generating road rage, nearly as bad as the Audi hatred !!! |
