Thread: Landrover Experience - Anyone done it?

Biggest surprise for me though was how well the evoques went off-road even with complete novice drivers at the helm they went straight up every track without breaking a sweat.

The only thing that'll stop evoques & fl2 is clearance

In the words of the old guy on "The Vicar of Dibley",

Completed this today, was interesting to do and good day out.

Its really a familiarisation day to do with the vehicle basics and goes over the systems in the vehicle. Perfect for those that have done no 4wd driving and those new to the brand.

It does cover a lot of stuff that the dealers should probably cover but never do in Australia as given its free, with food etc, a great intro to the brand.

Normally its a mix of different LR products, with up to 12 vehicles, however today there were just 6 vehicles, all, Discovery 4s including the provided by LRA for the people to use. They were also all white except mine (silver) so it was good just to concentrate on D4 things.

I certainly learnt stuff i didn't know and most of the information, apart from a few errors, was good to know. Its something i would recommend people do if given the chance.

Yeah having done plenty of 4WDing and courses but all in cars with levers prior to my first D4, I'd have to say the day was great as an intro to the whole new world of terrain response. That day I realised I could love an auto 4WD!

Was even better for my wife who'd never been offroad, to get a glimpse of what the cars can do. She'd have never let me take us through a lot of tracks otherwise.

All good people, and the Werribee site has plenty of stuff to play on.

A very big thank you to apom, as he kindly let me accompany him as his guest on the Land Rover Experience day. It was great to meet other AULRO members.

As apom mentioned, the day did cover a lot of things that the dealer should have covered as a lot of time was spent on the key and it's features as well as the menu section regarding the reverse camera etc.

Thank you once again to apom

Just did course today in Melbourne.
Enjoyable day, I learnt about terrain response etc. and put into action.
Dealer can tell you the theory but can't take you out bush and put into practice.
Really demonstrated how clever the D4 is.

This wasn't offered when I got the D3 in 2007, would love to do one though.
