So was happily driving to work this morning (half asleep!!!)......Driving through a village (Wheatley) not too far from the Oxford Plant and there they were x2 2007 models!!!

Expression on my face was something like

Didn't have time to get a pic with my phone as I was in moving traffic, but this does prove some are out on the road already!

What were they like? Tell me everything? What colours were they? What made you tell they were 2007s? The features?

What is it with people around Oxford, don't you keep a camera with zoom to hand AT ALL TIMES?! If not, you should!

Both were black, smaller headlights exactly like the spy shots that have been about. Both had twin exit exhausts

Deffo a 2007 model 100% sure of it

LOL!!!

I rushed to get my phone and even debated turning around and being late for work!

Well now you have seen it, make sure you have a camera on standby for if there is a next time! I know I shouldn't be impatient but I want one!!!

Warwick is also a good place to see Aston/Land Rover new models. Saw a Disco 3 running round completely undisguised about 6 months before launch.

Steal his identity for the day, gag him or bribe him, go to his work and get some good pics, you will be a hero!

dalboyne · Mar 29th, 2006, 07:11 PM

We also see new cars here in Luxembourg - there's a Goodyear development facility, and they test out new tyres on new models. And of course there's Cargolux airfreighting new modesl from the cold north to the hot deserts for testing.

But having said that, the one time I saw a disguised 4x4, I had no camera!

Keep looking guys, we need those piccies!
