Sinossi

"Four-By-Four Driving" is an all-new book - now well-established - based around the sell-out editions of "Off-Roader Driving" and "The Land Rover Experience". The new title reflects a slight change in target readership to include the 'busy mum' 'soft-roader' drivers and those needing advice on what to look for when buying a 4X4. It addresses the often unnecessary bells and whistles with which they are equipped, the obfuscating brand naming and plethora of TLAs (three letter acronyms).There is clarification of the multiplicity of 4X4 systems -'...the most important Section in the whole book...' - even for those who never go off road. The book pulls no punches in its examination of current design foibles, poor ergonomics, technophobic journalists, marketing, and sales people.It includes a uniquely incisive and straightforward analysis of the dynamics of trailer towing - a role for which many 4X4s are purchased.A large proportion of the book is devoted to a step-by-step look at all aspects of using a 4X4 off-road - safely and non-damagingly. For novices, it takes the mystique out of off-roading not only with its content and diagram but with its comprehensive glossary. For professionals it offers valuable techniques and rarely seen advice. The book has been selected by Land Rover for The Land Rover Experience driving school in the UK and the US.Recent bulk purchasers include a US distributor and the Royal Geographical Society.It has an Expedition Basics section with invaluable information on tyres, fuels, oils, loading and water filtration.
