Well - today is the day!!

Assuming the dealership doesn't mess up (in which case I will be down there inserting blunt objects clumsily into their person), then I collect the (new to me) Freelander today!!

Been slumming it for a year in a runabout, so looking forward to having a proper car again.

The wife has christened him "Dexter".

No. I don't know why either.

Hope you enjoy your day and drive home in Dexter Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Hope your day is as enjoyable as you want it to be... Nothing quite like picking up a new car eh? Dexter?

Yes. I know.

I got off lightly. The old Focus was called "Rambo".



Although, secretly, I kinda liked that one......

Dexter was a serial killer wasn't he? Are you sure it's not a range rover sport?

Yay!!!

Dexter is home!!!

Too dark for photos, but not too dark to start playing with all the buttons....

Dexter is Latin for "right handed" so that fits properly with a rhd car!  2013 RR Evoque Pure Tech

Dexter has now spent his second night tucked up in my garage, and (as you do with new cars) I have been using any excuse to go for a drive.

I can honestly say that I am REALLY going to like this car. A lot!!

What a beautifully smooth, relaxing drive it is.

I know that it isn't a quick car, but it does OK - and I find myself driving slower and in a more relaxed manner.

Love it!!
