Landrover Video
This is a bit abusive, but this Landrover impressed me with the way it performed with a trailer in tow.

Re: Landrover Video
Impressive, yes, but too abusive for me; I couldn't make it to the end of the video. #-o I got queezy.

Re: Landrover Video

Re: Landrover Video
I dunno.........maybe I'm just old. I don't get it.

Re: Landrover Video
The nice thing is, they left that trailer spread all over the trails for other off roaders to enjoy
Don't get caught doing that around here, the off roaders would come unglued.

Re: Landrover Video
YAWN!! attempting to impress others by doing the stupidest stunts seems common these days (Jackass syndrome?). I couldnt imagine being the owner of that property, the Rover, or the trailer. I think Im old too, I dont get it.

Well I'm young and I don't get it either. What did he accomplish? There's nothing here that requires any skills or smarts to impress me.

Re: Landrover Video
I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore.

Re: Landrover Video
That's just stupid and irresponsible. They do make rugged off-road trailers for camping. I know in Europe, a lot of them use miltary Sankey trailers and modify them with rooftop tents and cargo holds. As far as the Landrover, they are impressive but they're also very unreliable and break down a lot which is why you can find used Range Rovers and Land Rovers for decent prices in the states.

How sad. Waste of a perfectly good camper, if you ask me. Looking through the comments I saw almost nothing but praise. I don't get it either. If I had a good little camper, I wouldn't do that with it.
