    Landrover Experience - Anyone done it?

    I recently got a free invite to do the Landrover Experience (in Brisbane). Anyone done it? Is it worthwhile or really just for newbies and first timers?

    thanks

    Land Rover Experience

    Hey mate,

    We did the LRE day up the sunshine coast at a property inland from Beerwah.

    12 cars, Mixture of Discos, RRS, Evoque, Defenders.

    Effectively the day starts with a Intro, Then driving moguls in all the terrain settings to give you a better understanding of how capably the vehicle is. Then Hill climbs, Decent's, then creek crossings always interchanging between you and your partner having a go.

    Pretty basic stuff, but the aim is to give people comfort in using systems in the vehicle and both you and your partner driving.

    Morning tea, lunch and Afternoon tea is provided. Then discuss tips and trips for each vehicle too.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers

    Andrew

    I did one here a couple of years ago.

    For those contemplating a new vehicle,probably a good way to have a good look at the different LR vehicles and drive them back to back.

    The dealer I bought mine from arranges a similar day for new buyers. The guy who ran it is a LR Expert endorsed by LR. I found it helpful to transition from owning a regular 4wd to the wizardry of the D4. Well worth it as it gives you some experience with and the knowledge of the different systems that you may not otherwise discover.

    I have plenty of 4WD experience (non Landrover) and have done one of Grahams Sand Courses on Fraser. Could be a good day out. The other half is away so it will keep me amused (spare seat if anyones interested)

    I did the equivalent in Sydney a few years ago, if you are an experienced four wheel driver you won't find much too challenging, but if you are new to Discovery it is a good way to learn and get some confidence in the Terrain response, and let's face it and day in the bush in a Discovery is a good day.
