RANGE ROVER: A TOWING VEHICLE

YOU CAN TOW AS MUCH AS YOU WANT WITH YOUR RANGE ROVER



The Range Rover Evoque really is a great car to tow with. Like the larger Land Rover models on test, stability at speed is outstanding. It needed a really strong crosswind to push the Evoque even slightly off course, even when towing beyond the legal limit, and the Al-Ko ATC showed how little the caravan moved around.
Few cars tackled the lane-change test as well as the Evoque. Even in wet conditions the car found grip, with only the slightest slide from the back of it on the final, fastest run.
There have been a number of threads on using a Range Rover as a tow vehicle. IIRC, the consensus has been that they are capable as long as you follow the parameters you outlined in your opening post, but the consensus has also been that there have been transmission issues over time. Some on the other hand have been successful.

Farmers crack own record with 'world's biggest egg'

Image
Two weeks ago, a German chicken-farming couple thought themselves lucky when they discovered a sizeable 184-gram egg - until their hen laid an even bigger one. A couple in Lower Saxony who farm chickens "as a hobby" were pleasantly surprised a couple weeks ago when they came upon a 184-gram egg in their coop - more than twice the size of an average jumbo chicken egg. But this week Ingrid and Günther Meyne were amazed to discover an even bigger egg - this one weighing 209 grams and dubbed by DPA news agency to be perhaps the largest egg in the world. Ingrid and Günther Meyne show off their huge egg. Photo: DPA. The Natural History Museum of Braunschweig nearby now wants to put the egg on display, said museum scientist André Koch. So, what is the secret to the oversized ovals? It remains a mystery. The Meynes say they nourish their ten free-range chickens with a normal feed of vegetables and grains. Story continues below… The chicken breeders are still no...

Aid worker rescues two-year-old Nigerian boy 'accused of being a witch' A heartbreaking series of photographs shows the moment an emaciated two-year-old Nigerian boy, riddled with worms and reportedly abandoned by his family because they thought he was a witch, is given water by an aid worker. He had lived on the streets for eight months, surviving on scraps and whatever he could find, before being discovered by Anja Ringgren Lovén, the Danish founder of the African Children's Aid Education and Development Foundation. The child is carried to safety    Photo: Anja Ringgren Lovén/Facebook In the pictures –  which went viral online  bringing in 1 million Danish Krone (£104,000) from wellwishers - she is seen helping him drink water.

After two days of care, she wrote that his condition had greatly improved. “He’s taking food for himself, and he responds to the medic...
