Well, it has been a long time coming, but it has been absolutely worth it.

Not only is the colour fantastic, the dealer had it parked at the front ready for collection. The dealer opened at 8am, and had 4 people stop and ask if my car was for sale before I picked it up at 930am!

Without further ado, here she is in all her blue splendour:

Not sure I would have chosen the driving lamps, guess thats a personal thing.........but the colour.....

Bet the extra driving lights are used for Kangaroo spotting however in Scotland they could be used for Wally spotting  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

They are! Also use them to spot feral animals like pigs, camels, cows, buffalo, people

Very nice colour, interesting lights though.... do they go on with Fog lights?

No, the fog lights are still turned on and off with their buttons. You get a new switch installed in the panel above where the light controls are.

Thanks about the colour. I did look at black, but up here where I live in the NT, red dust is rampant year round so it would look great for about a minute.

Would'nt think you have much use for the standard fog lights in Katherine However I think the extra spots would be very usefull here in Norway as well as in Aussie, as we have Moose on the roads at night that cause quite a few fatal accidents each year
How effective are these extra spots Do you also have adaptive Zenon headlights and if so can you use the spots together with the headlights  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I best get some fitted on mine then so the next time you're over here i'll be able to see you

On a serious note, if this colour is still available in 12 months time then its the colour I'll be having

Gorgeous colour!! Would have chosen it if it had been available 6 months earlier before I ordered the red!

Not too sure about the driving lamps though, each to their own! Wonder what they would look like colour coded? (i know they dont come colour coded but just a thought!) Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Yeah, fog lights are not required in Katherine, but it is amazing just how many people do use them 'just because they are there'

Funny thing is that Martinique Blue wasn't supposed to be available in Australia for the MY09 - we were supposed to have Caspian Blue. I like that colour from the pictures I have seen posted here, but I really wanted the Martinique Blue, and glad that Land Rover Australia were able to get it for me.

We went camping this weekend and a lot of people were impressed and surprised by the car and its' capabilities without having a traditional low range.



Just a little bit dirty...

She rides well for a AWD!
