Land Rover supplies support vehicles for Rugby World Cup 2015

Land Rover will provide 450 support vehicles for next month�s Rugby World Cup 2015.

Around 80% of the support fleet will be Discovery Sport models [pictured], with the standard Discovery, Range Rover Sport, and regular Range Rover making up the remainder of the support fleet.

The specially liveried vehicles will transport teams, officials, organisers and VIPs across 13 stadiums and 41 bases used by the 20 international teams taking part in the tournament.

The vehicles are expected to cover around 650,000 miles during the 44-day competition; that�s enough to drive around the world 26 times.

�But what�s that bizarre structure next to the Disco Sport?� you ask. Well, to mark the vehicles being handed over, all 450 key fobs were suspended in the shape of a rugby ball. Naturally.

Jon Wackett, General Manager for Fleet and Business at Land Rover UK, said: �We are proud and excited to be supporting Rugby World Cup 2015 as the tournament returns to the UK.

�Discovery Sport is the perfect vehicle to lead the fleet as its compact dimensions, flexible 5+2 seating and advanced connectivity features provide versatility and capability in equal measure.�

That 5+2 seating arrangement means that all 920 players and 1,100 team staff involved could in theory be moved about with just 289 Discovery Sport models.

The Rugby World Cup 2015 kicks off on Friday 18 September with the final on Saturday 31 October at Twickenham.

Ridiculous Ways to Save Money #1

Image
There are many ways to save money with some being more practical and reasonable than others.  This list contains some of the most ridiculous money saving tips: 1. Use public restrooms Why flush your cash down the drain when you can save cash by using a public or work restroom?  By not using your own toilet, you�ll save about 1.5 to 4 gallons per flush depending on the age of your toilet.  If this isn�t a viable option and it�s an emergency, at least consider not flushing when it�s only number 1.  If it's yellow, let it mellow.  If it's brown, flush it down. 2. Shower at the gym In the spirit of saving water at home, take advantage of your expensive gym membership by showering at the gym.  As an added bonus, you�ll also be able to cut back on shampoo and soap purchases. 3. Apply makeup for free at a store This one is for the ladies.  Once you�ve showered at the gym, you�ll probably want to enhance your appearance with some makeup.  The cosmetics in...

9 best cash back credit cards

9 best cash back credit cards When you shop with your credit card, you can earn cash back for your purchases.  I personally prefer cash back credit cards since I can use the cash for whatever I want vs. a rewards card that forces you to use it in specific categories (i.e. travel).  I use the Fidelity Investment Rewards American Express Card , which offers 2% flat cash back on all purchases with no annual fee.  The chart below contains the 9 best cash back credit cards.  I haven�t included Annual Percentage Rates (APR) below since you should always pay off your credit card in full each month and that should not be a factor in choosing a card. Credit card Cash back Annual fee Sign up bonus How much cash back must accumulate before you can redeem Fidelity� Investment Rewards American Express� Card 2% Cash Back on all purchases No No $50 Chase Freedom 5% back on rotating categories each quarter ($1,500 cap) 1% after you hit the cap and...

Are you stepping enough each day? Too few steps could cost you.

The FitBit Flex Most of us wake up in the morning, walk to the kitchen to prepare coffee or breakfast, get in the car, drive to work or school, sit down at our desks, walk to lunch, return to our desks, drive home, prepare dinner, and sit down at the television before going to bed.  Think about your day and how much you walk around.  If you�re lucky, you might clock 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day with this routine.  Many of our modern conveniences reduce the need to be active, and we�re paying a heavy toll.  The Disney movie WALL-E drove this point home. There�s more to net worth than just money As a pure definition, net worth is just about the value of your assets less your liabilities, but I�ve always believed that building a large net worth and living a healthy lifestyle are closely related.  When you live an unhealthy lifestyle, such as when you smoke, drink excessively, exercise infrequently, or make poor dietary decisions, you�ll lack the energy and the driv...
