Episode 2 of the Green Oval Podcast meets with James who is the Wyre Forest Land Search Training Manager for the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA). 

SARA’s Wyre Forest station is located at Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Services (HWFRS) Kidderminster Fire Station. SARA is tasked by Fire Control together with responding to requests from West Mercia Constabulary covering the River Severn and all adjoining waterways as well as providing a land/bank search rescue team. SARA is a volunteer organisation and ably supported by two Land Rover 110's and a Land Rover 127" Ambulance.

We chat with James to find out how they use the Land Rovers on shouts out's, the gear they carry and what a typical day looks like in the world of search & rescue.

Things are getting fancy around the Consumer Reports test track with the addition of two Land Rovers to the test fleet: a Range Rover and a Range Rover Sport. But it turns out the Sport packs a wintertime surprise. We also try out the Cadillac ELR, which shares the Chevrolet Volt's electric drivetrain and has stunning styling - plus a stunning price. Then we get to viewer questions, including the status of testing the Mazda3, Jeep Cherokee, and Honda Accord Hybrid. We discuss whether the VW Golf TDI is a good first car. Finally, we help a viewer find a replacement for his Ford Mustang GT.
