If you really want to be exclusive among your neighbors and want to have an exclusive car, Edminston, known for its experience in building yachts, together with Land Rover launched its program for customizing Range Rover cars inspired by the luxury world of the yachts. Dubbed the “Superyacht Range Rover Design Competition”, the program will have seven top yacht like Bannenberg, Tim Heywood, Andrew Winch, Terrence Disdale, Ken Freivokh, Redman Whiteley Dixon and Martin Francis.
These designers compete in this program in order to obtain the chance to draw the lines of the exclusive Range Rover.

People are always trying to find a way to achieve some fame and here we found quite a strange way to become “famous”. Ryan Mickle, just a normal guy from the USA, bought in 2006 a Range Rover Sport for just $60,000, not for daily use but for trips. Now he decided that it is more important to be environment oriented and so he wants to destroy the car. He even opened a dedicated website, “OneFewer” where he makes a lot of buzz and people can actually choose what should happen to his car.
But surely he is not just interested in only keeping a cleaner environment, there are really many ways to get rid of car without making so much noise. In the end, wouldn’t he do much more damage to the environment if he went to “violent” measures like burning the Rover or dumping it in to ocean?
