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....

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Santorini Black

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. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because Iā€™m mental

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

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 Learned to drive in 2011.

Scotland 2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Bali Blue

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
