Ronnie Dahl Grenny off road test

[bigleonski]

Are you taking the piss? This just came out four hours ago, who's the drongo now?

(Was that correct oz?)

See post #2 my friend. We'd been talking about it on this thread for three hours before your post, on this thread. And I'd watched it before it was commented on here.

Oh, and yep, we're always taking the piss, just not about your sleepy post.


Unless one of those nasty mods had merged your thread with this one that'd already started, in which case I get your confusion and the Mods were taking the piss.



oh, and drongo. That's something that might have been used by a few people 50 years ago, but no one except people from elsewhere in the world use it now. A bit like Fosters beer, no one in Oz drinks that now either.

Don't even think about 'shrimps on the bar b' - I was soon reprimanded from our down under brothers!

@bigleonski maybe the drongo isn't extinct. I've heard a few main islanders using the word "grouse" of late. I hadn't heard that since the 70s

Yeah, I think the New South Welshmen use that - and most of them are drongos.

As for route. We always say root down here. The other pronunciation makes us both face palm!

First proper off road test I have seen. That was some seriously knarly rock crawling for a stock rig. With some lift and 35s that would have been too easy for the truck. His comments on everything turning off when shutting down and locker engagement are valid, and need addressed. And using the off road button to allow all that? Honestly, genius. You put that button in place, with some software tricks we can make the button more powerful Ineos.

Root is the correct way to say it.

 

[Tazzieman]

Google maps lady says root too.

INEOS mentioned, but Ronny says too early for comparison with new 76 series. Minimal mention of the Grenadier.

Ronny has sold the 79 series, to keep the Troopy and the 4 cylinder 70 series. Now all he needs to do is resist the Grenadier's charms.

 

[LeftCoastOverland]

$10 says he’s keeping the grenadier!

Kind of stunned he sold it tbh.

So is Ronny.

12 years old, 240,000km of hard work.

It was definitely time to move it on.

Not saying it was at the end of its life or anything, but his other options were definitely looking more reliable going forward.

I agree and also IMO he might head toward the Quartermaster...he is at an age now where his priorities have changed with time under his belt I dare say auto...but I will wait and see...Happy motoring

My thoughts exactly. I went to the Ausso website to buy a raffle ticket, but realized the last thing I need is a 1/4 million K 79!

 

[TheDocAUS]

I think Ronny will say no to a Grenadier wagon, but a Quartermaster cab chassis - he will find that really tempting.

And do an immediate GVM upgrade - and then start building his dream tray/camper

I’d love to see what he does with a QM Gren. A QM Gren with a properly designed and constructed canopy on the back would look rather dapper! Especially if said canopy complements the Gren’s lines and appearance.
