Hey Dex, If your going to spend the money on the rear camera because of the tintent you might as well spend just a little more on the 360 degree system and then you get hitch assist

Good luck Dexter, just got my XS, santorini, tow pack and privacy at the weekend at it is quality. The engine is powerful, brakes are strong and the suspension is firm around corners but soft on the straight. I'm sure you will be happy.

Yeah, do the deed tomorrow as the Dealer has only 2 slots left for August build, September delivery.
If you can see the towbar with the rear camera then that'll do me fine but, Bill W ....... I don't really get your post  Yes I've specced the towbar and full electrics but tell me more if I've missed something
Saw an Ipanema Sand D4 tonight on the Inverurie bypass and it lookd really  so am swithering on colour, as usual

Is Baltic Blue now a listed colour, and are you able to order it? I thought it was to be introduced in June or July.

Thanks Vic, deffo on the shortlist - I've got a few weeks to change the colour, a few times probably 
Orders are being taken for Baltic Blue but you need to see it on a Freelander.

Popped up to Frank Ogg yesterday and they had 3 Ipanema sand D4s in stock, so I saw several permutations:
with / without privacy, with ebony and almond interior. All so very, very nice and I think my mind is made up.
Tho, if they had 3 maybe it's getting a bit common ????? 
One of them had a bigger shark fin than the others, on the rear of the roof - any ideas, better sat nav maybe?

Damn!! The logic was if you got a heated steering wheel you'd never need it! Now you haven't we're in for another stinker!
11c in Grantown, might need to switch the heating back on! Can maybe be ar$ed a bit.

Phew ...................... looks like I missed the VAT rise by a few months (20% effective 4th January 2011) so maybe, just maybe, I'll go for the toasty fingers option
Ipanema with Ebony - lovely !!!
