Seen My First DS On The Road.

Saw a Firenze Red /Black roof Discovery Sport yesterday afternoon on top of Junction 3 on the M2 Chatham in Kent yesterday. It was a 64 plate but I didn't think any were registered till March 1st?

Did look good in the colour scheme I have to say. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

There's loads off them kicking about, mainly press cars and prototypes. There's a couple up here on 14 plates, as they went into limited production in small numbers in July last year. Foraging near Gaydon....

Watched 2 new happy customers get theirs set up for them in Stirling om Friday when I was collecting my mildly repaired car.

Have to say, bloody awful car in the flesh. Like an Evoque with all the Land Rover angles smoothed out then mixed with every other car out there. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Just right for the school run then, especially with the extra seats. Anyone live near an independent school? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

I do Dorset and the DS is too cheap. Its all Discovery and Range Rovers plus a few Mercs, Porches and the odd Defender (new). I am the cheapo poor person there with my FL2 Wink FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Saw one the other day and it looks amazingly like the Evoque and the RRS from a distance. All similar size n shape.

Saw a transporter load of them 2 weeks ago but finally saw one on the road yesterday from a distance

I'm not convinced I like the look of its new roundness, but I'll reserve judgement until I've seen one up close

I've probably see a lot on the road, I just can't tell what they are until I get very close coming head on and see DISCOVERY stamped across the front instead of RANGE ROVER or spot them at night from the back with the hideous rear lights.

Black pack having black lettering looks awful, lots about in that brown colour too Neutral
