Impressive stuff indeed but it nearly killed him and he managed only a few metres. At least the D5 did 16km+Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Just disappointed you weren't up in the early hours scanning t'interweb for videos of D5 pulling stuff.
So ... The Volvo can pull TWICE the weight it's rated for?
Think that means the Discovery wins this contest. Thirty times it's rating?.
