Range Rover Evoque Test Drive - PowerBrake Tv

Here Bob Sweeting takes a test drive in the new Land Rover - Range Rover Evoque, I drove it too, and I've got to say, it is a whip. The video is available at www.sweetingmedia.com and www.youtube.com/user/powerbrakeservice#p/u/4/XlYY7YGIPPc. I didn't expect this experience, it cut like a knife around corners and the turbocharged 4 cylinder was awesomely quick. I always want V8s in my cars, and I have been really disappointed by significant turbo lag before, but there was no lag with this car. It is about half the price of a standard Land Rover, so it is their attempt at an entry level car, $40,000 is pretty high for entry level, but it brings a lot more people closer to the brand than the $80,000 price tag does.

About Power Brake Service:

We build and Rebuild endless varieties of new and classic brakes for every type of vehicle and trailer. The company was started by George Sweeting in 1950 who worked for the railroads and Lockhead, it is now run by his son Bob Sweeting who learned about modifying cars while drag racing in the 60's, and Bob's son Matt Sweeting (who grew up in all of this) is taking over more and more responsibilities. We were a Warehouse Distributor for Bendix for 20 years until they sold they sold their Power Brake Division to Bosch, which is when we became a special modification contractor with Bosch for their power brakes - which come on most new American vehicles. Our ability to design brake systems, rather than just replace rotors and pads, has taken us to amazing places and we have worked on amazing projects. We have:

We have worked on everything from propane powered trams to roller coasters, cranes, parade floats, multi engine street rods, classic european cars, double decker buses, and a Freightliner racing truck. Our favorite is working on big engine muscle cars that make too little vacuum and need more stopping power.
