Whoo hoo,
Just had an invite for a half day LRE,I'm going to ring back to book tomorrow,is there a choice of venue and if so is there any one in particular I should choose?
Thanks,
Chris

Tim in Scotland swears you should upgrade the free half days to a full day

His advice came too late for me, but i will when i get another offer

North yorks was very good but a bit of a trek from Derbyshire! J Jaguar XKR Convertible
MY 2012 Range Rover Sport TDV6 Autobiography in Fujian White....Mmmmmmm
Range Rover Evoque 2.2 Prestige in white - gone
Porsche Boxster S White with lots of extras! Gone
Lotus Elise 2011 Touring for sunny days - gone!

Previously....
RRS TDV8 Black 57 Plate
645ci
Jag XKR Convertible (my wife still loves this car!)
BMW 530i
BMW 328i (I loved this car)
Golf R32

Milton Keynes is a ok'ish track, but you will be lucky to get more than 90 minutes of actual driving.

For some odd reason, if an area gets muddy they close it.......doesn't make a great deal of sense considering the reason for the experience.

Nice people. .

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.


TDV8 HSE MY10 with pretty much everything including a vase of daffs on the back shelf, tropical fish collection in the centre console, hamsters in the spare tyre and finally sheep on the passenger seats.....for weight distribution, what else??

.

Yes upgrade to the full day - it's by far better. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Full day and go to Eastnor Castle But not in summer unless we have another wet one. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone
Audi Q5 3.0 Tdi Sline wef 6/11/10

Yep, as Josh says.... Eastnor is pretty much the best site out there. I believe it's where LR do their own offroad instruction. And definitely upgrade to the full day, you get to do so much more during the afternoon session.

Thanks everyone for the input,I'll call them today I think we'll go for the upgrade and try for Eastnor.

Just had a email from LR, saying i am able to have a half day experience,

though the small print says something about it not been available if it was done in the last 12 months and i can't remember when i went on mine

If it does come my way , how do you go about upgrading to a full day, with the customer services who book the half day or the center itself once this is booked?

the second question is which car for the full day FL2, D3 or RRS Thinking D3 as that going to be in my price range all been well when the change comes

Yes, just mention to them on the phone. I'm not sure how it works now that the free 1/2 day LRE is more of a sales exercise... the morning's activities won't lead into the afternoon's quite so well. As for the car, the choice is yours really. I've done LREs in the RRS, FFRR and FL2 now... and I think they all run TDV8s now, so you'll get to experience that if you choose the RRS or FFRR

Are all new LR customers to expect one of those invites or is it repeat/preferred clients only?

I have only bought one and they havent seen me since other than for a grille

Jonny, LR used to provide a free half-day's offroading with every new LR sold but a couple of years ago they changed the focus of these events to be used as sales tools for prospective purchasers rather than showing new owners what their new car can do - a bit arse about face if you ask me, especially when people like us know how to "win" one simply by keeping your details up to date on the LR website.
