No you don't! I wasn't even commenting on D5, merely pointing out that truck isn't jackknifed! You'll have to try again.Stu

I did the Land Rover Experience today and guess what? The guy we had was the one driving the D5 in the video.
Extremely knowledgeable chap and he said he was leading a convoy of 70 D5's for the press trip and came across the truck blocking the road.
He was not sure it would work, but gave it a go towing the truck and was pleasantly surprised that it worked out OK.
