This won't come of a surprise to you guys, but I've just seen an interesting video of a Disco 1 towing an artic lorry in the snow.

Dunno why, but I find things like this interesting.

On a separate note, would a Freelander TD4 have any chance of pulling that off?

Thanks for that!

My housemate (a stock Nissan Navara owner) is giving me grief for buying a Landy...this ought to shut him up for a while!

Why would he give you grief? I thought their reputation for being a "Go anywhere, do anything" vehicle was pretty well known? I'm rather surprised to hear that lol. You need to put him in his place. I can't talk much, because I drive a Freelander, but there's no reason why you can't shut him up!

His Navara would make an excellent seesaw though! Just drive it over a mound, and he's sorted!

The motorway police were known for dragging artics around with their Range Rover Classics too, when clearing up motorway "incidents".
