The only problem with a Land Rover, towing or not, is that you can't be
in a big hurry to get anywhere, and it sometimes helps if you have a

I really like my old Land Rover. It has been lots of fun to drive and
I have taken it out on the Pipe Line in northern Wisconsin for some
off road fun. The Pipe Line is just that a natural gas right of way
and a long huge mud bog, lots of fun and a winch is needed for some of
the worst parts.
