| Official member now = Disco 4 TDV6 3.0 HSE in Ipanema Sand |
|
We just ordered ourselves a new Land Rover Discovery 4, model 2010 with the all new 3.0 diesel engine in HSE form
It's going to be the shopping + travel car and also the daily family car for my girlfriend to generally use, and I'll drive it in the weekends when we go somewhere or on holiday trips and off course when me and the mates go offroading to show that not only defenders get a long way in the dirt
Configuration:
2010 LR Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE ( 245hp/600nm torque )
Ipanema Sand metallic color
Interior Almond with arabica accents and walnut grain matt
Extra options on top of HSE pack:
All exterior plastics will be painted in stonechip "proof" paint same color as car
Premium leather pack 7 seats
sunroof with panora glass roof
electric steering column
heated steering wheel
rear end camera
adaptive bi-xenons
automatic big lights
ipod connection
bluetooth phone connection
DAB = like serius but the european equivalent
Harmann Kardon Logic 7
7 seats with extra convenience pack
tinted rear windows and roof glass tinted
cold climate pack (love the Belgian weather = NOT )
and a trailer pack, with a removable trailer hitch
20" wheels, dealer got those because the car was delayed
She's confirmed to be with the dealer the 20th of April, but she'll remain there for a few days because we get all the black parts painted to, so ours will have a more agressive stance 
We also got upgraded from 19 to the 20" wheels because our car will be later than promised....
On the 6th of May we will be off to St-Tropez for a few days, so that will be a nice +-3000km drive there & back, I'll be able to see how it runs and off course be able to deliver nice feedback after such a tour. I'm going with my family in Law, so we'll fly the women in and the 3 guys will drive over there and back afterwards That way we don't have any comments on driving style and the famous "are we there yet"  2010 LR4 Discovery 3.0TDV6 HSE Full Spec

She's at the Harbour of "Vlissingen" in the Netherlands, and she will be at the Dealer by tomorrow, 2 weeks earlier than promised.... I'm very happy...
Will go check tomorrow and see what they have to paint and she'll be ready to go by next week... 2010 LR4 Discovery 3.0TDV6 HSE Full Spec

Thanks, It needs to be said, It's the first real vacation we take in about 8 months, and it's only for a few days, but I'll really enjoy them, especially with the new travel compagnion  2010 LR4 Discovery 3.0TDV6 HSE Full Spec

Koen, yours sounds like almost exact same spec as ours (see our gallery). I think Ipanema Sand really works well on the D4. 
Mind you, I am just back from Rio where the sand on Ipanema Beach yesterday was a lot darker (very grey sky) and wetter (flooding all over) than ever  Disco 4 TDV6HSE

We took delivery yesterday
Nice combination and she really has nice gadgets, nice stereo too....
Only driven for an hour or so, but it al feels well and powerfull, you do really have to focus on your driving speed, because she's so big and quiet, it's hard to drive the maximum limit... 2010 LR4 Discovery 3.0TDV6 HSE Full Spec

She's a great looking motor, Ipanema Sand works really well with that interior. I went for the Arabica/Almond/walnut combo but have yet to see one in the flesh (car not coming until Aug 10), but it looks great from your picture.
Just out of curiosity - which extra bits have you had painted?
Enjoy the drive! 1996 D1 (Legendary workhorse) - now KIA
