At last some decent sunshine so a great opportunity to take some photos with my new DSLR. Sadly I must have caught the 'mode' knob during shooting and they come out really dark but with a bit of colour enhancement courtesy of photosuite they have come out really well - infact the colour is much more deeper than the photos i took on normal exposure!

fishing wire and a hair dryer can take them off, but will leave the residue behind

Not usually a big fan of red cars, but she does look well especially with the kit and mirrors

to be honest i wasnt impressed with the colour range when ordering in jan08. Didnt want to wash it every day so black and white were both out, didnt want to be common so grey was out the frame. Tonga green is for farmers and after that there wasnt much left. I saw a Rimini red for sale and fell in love with it immediately! There is only one other colour i like but at the time it wasnt available and that is the latest blue colour (cannot remember the name), very similar to estoril blue that BMW do (my last car) saw one with the bodykit and it looked stunning.

Over the weekend with the sun out, I have had countless people turn their heads when I have drove past and have even had to give guided tours (once on saturday and twice on sunday) to interested people, gees i might have to start taking advanced bookings!

ps - farmers drive black not green

- if you want to start a new colour war
Tonga is the only colour the Freelander should have been produced in as it’s the ONLY real Land Rover colour - Blacks and Greys are to be tolerated as they are subdued and environmentally acceptable colours that don’t shout out in the countryside and wild nature, which is a Land Rovers natural habitat. All other colours, and especially bright colours, shout BLING and only suit urban vehicles that need to advertise that they need to be seen in the crowd (Freudism).  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

If you want to say Bull then say it - no need to cover up with a

"Tonga Green is only for farmers".

Not sure I agree with that! It's the only colour that matches the Land Rover badge for a start... Freelander 2 TD4 HSE auto Tonga Green/Alpaca
