New Tow setup for 2015

Perhaps it's a Freudian thing ... and secretly you yearn to be a hairdresser.
No point in being in denial ... open up, come clean.

OH crap, I'm a hairdresser by association!

Next car I'll try and get her to man up a bit and get a Rav4.

Don't worry, we'll get over it. At least it's not pink? Now that would be a problem :oops:

I had a Defender when I was younger, I don't think I could stand the daily commute to work driving a Defender now. It takes me almost 10 minutes...... :roll:

I had enough of Landrover when I drove then in the Army ... series III swb or lwb or even the 1 tonner variant (these over turned very easily) used as ambulances and mortar vehicles.

Sitting on top of the petrol tanks while your fillings rattled.
No heating that worked and so incredibly noisy. Rugged & capable I will agree, reliable .. .well that is another matter.

And the fact that they seemed to forget that the driver has to put his right arm somewhere, there is no room for it, anyone else notice that? :D

Update - after 3 months of use ... including many launch & recovery sessions .... this car tows superbly.

I was a little dubious about automatic electronic brakes ........... but they have worked perfect every time.

The 9 speed auto box gets my vote !
