Does this offer from LR interest you?

[rmp]

Part of an email from LR recently promoting the RRS:


From 21st - 25th September Sydney's Domain will come alive with 'Sydney in Bloom'. This is without doubt the loveliest location for a Garden Show with over 140 stands throughout the Domain.

Every day you'll have the opportunity to meet Australia's best known landscape and garden designer Jamie Durie, who will show you how to group colours, plant a tree walkway and design a no water garden with natives. Jamie's Discovery Garden also features Discovery 3 vehicles as highlights of the design.

Land Rover is giving away 50 pairs of tickets to Sydney in Bloom to subscribers of the Land Rover e-newsletter. To reserve your two tickets, be one of the first 50 people to RSVP here with "Bloom" in the email subject line. Make sure you provide your correct mailing address and contact number when you RSVP. Tickets are limited, so please respond early to avoid disappointment.

Um :? ......

They've lost the plot :wink: .

and me as well.

I have always considered Land Rovers as agricultural and never horticultural.

[juddo]

I could not think of anything more boring, but you know what they say, any publicity is good publicity.

[George130]

I would rather the bush orientated thing but With my jungle of a block any help with taming it could be a good idea.

Maybe LRA could next sponsor a fat chef, just to showcase the D3s suspension.

[size=18]<span style="color:darkblue">I'm looking at the poll results and wondering : Are we the evil twins :twisted: in the family :?: Because we don't seem to fall into the parent companies demographic. Or maybe LRA bosses are the evil stepmother 8O :!: :!: 8O</span>

[Quiggers]

I've got it sussed, when you get to this 'event', pinch one of the D3's and run amok thru the gardens and over Jamie D (and Harold Scruby as he likes plants), should be able to do this with the road tyres on the new D3s. Then at this venue the various platforms could do as an 'offroad' course.

Hello testing, hmmmm. Pink D3 on the way LRA?

Pink 'whitewalls' would be nice...

And how about a petunia motif on the bonnet? Or a glady, autographed by Dame Edna?

The Dame Edna Disco, sounds catchy.

My dirty green D1 has just gone up in value, by the sounds of this, and if you have a real RR1 from the 1970s for a few bob I'll have it now, and you series guys, butch plus!! Those snorkelzzzz...hmmm.

Pluck!!

Sloane Rangers in the UK aren't they???

I think the problem is although LR has designed the D3 as an extremely capable full offroader to be up there with the most difficult of terrains, the marketing department are aiming their efforts squarely at the upper class end of town where these type of social events appeal far better than a weekend of driver training etc


Although they used to run a wine weekend at Mudgee once, they were great events :wink: dont know what happened to them :?:

So do most Toorak gardens.

[Ace]

It doesnt interest me, but i think it is a top idea. We all complain because Land Rover dont do enough advertising and then when they do people hang **** on the idea. The fact of the matter is most of the D3s and RRS's sold wont even see dirt unless they have ripped a section of the M4 up. Sure we would like to see more in the bush, but this means that there will be more D3's serviced by dealers on the market in 5 yrs time. I personally wont be going, but I am glad to see Land Rover is looking outside the square to promote its products. Matt

[Redback]

Mmmmmmm let me see aaaaahhh

Sometimes I don't think Land Rover know whether they are coming or going.....

Well there we go.

It is important to understand that, if you post or read this forum, you are by definition not LR's target market. So this poll confirmed that.

LR sees the money to be made in non-4WDers, the Toorak Tractor set. Can't blame them for wanting to make a profit, it's what they exist to do.

When I bought by Defender the dealership offered a $500 voucher for a session with a top portrait photog. I wrote back and suggested a $500 discount voucher for mud tyres, or a free compressor, tyre levers, training. The suggestion was noted but somehow I doubt it'll be actioned :-)

[Michael2]

rmp, at least Nissan offer you $1,000 free fuel.

HMMM pedicure or diesel? It's a dilemma isn't it.

[sniperator]

Well i hate to be the odd one out but i was told about an hour ago that i will be going to this thing, what ever it is and i dont have a choice.

So ill be trying to get free tickets.

By the sounds of it i will be asking for lots of brownie points in return.

[sniperator]

Oh bugger i cant i dont get that letter thingy.

Does someome want to get them for me?

[disco95]

Ok, Gardening's all well and good, but please, is this any way to promote the marque :?: :roll:

[WOLLAPIT85]

At the end of the day any promo is good.
I hope they sell a bucket load
of any of their vehicles.
To be honest god bless the people of Toorak and alike
for they are the ones that look after the young babies
and keep the funds rolling in to mummy for new technology.

To me the RRS and D3 are not being released on to the market
for another 15 to 20 years. By that time they will be cheap and
there will be plenty of after market components for them.

Trading Post: Sept 24, 2024
Land Rover D3 2005mdl
1 lady owner, low kms, no off road use
Reason for sale: no longer able to handle large vehicle, buying
smaller solar powered LR Urban Ranger S2.

Woohoo I'm off to get a bargain!!

Pick up some accessories and a $3 plasma cutter from supa crap auto,
cut n bolt n modify.

Then its of to play in the AstroMud at the Melbourne 4x4Dome Theme Park....as they have discovered that putting rubber to soil is bad and
every road is now covered in tar..

[sniperator]
