bag of s**t that was. Towing a large caravan on extended trips around europe, even
allowing for the fact that I was used towing with a 300hp 2,5 ton car, the range rover was
pathetic. And I had to fix something on it every week!
I just stick to the boat now!
I actually came close to buying a Range Rover myself. But it was just
at the time when they were bringing in the new shape ones. I
preferred the look of the older one so went for the Discovery ES.
