As said before, it's all "A Real Man's" stuff. Kind of a Chuck Norris car, so to say.Yes and i can’t see a crane or gantry arrangement for lifting them

I spoke to my agent today and ask if/when the contracts were being issued.Has Anyone received or heard of anyone getting their contracts ?
I just wait to get the information one day before a 14 days family holiday abroad...1st March for us in the UK; which does raise the issue of the contract terms which state:
"Unless otherwise agreed by INEOS, the Customer must take delivery of the
Vehicle within 14 days of being notified by INEOS that the Vehicle is ready for collection (Delivery Deadline)."
Remember when we were kids - travelling with our parents on long trips - bored witless - constantly asking father if we are there yet - to be constantly told just round the next corner!The Ineos updates of 'this week' remind me of when I cycled the South Downs Way, I kept telling myself that Eastbourne (the finish) was just over the next Hill....of course it wasn't and I had many hills and hours of grinding the miles out until finally dropping down to the end.
For me when I see my Grenny it will feel like I've arrived in Eastbourne again!
My father would have pulled over and given me a beatingRemember when we were kids - travelling with our parents on long trips - bored witless - constantly asking father if we are there yet - to be constantly told just round the next corner!
Stylish old car emax - how many kids in back?My parents had many ideas to keep us busy. "who will first see the same car we have?" for example.
We had, btw. A Borgward Isabella in that time (mid 60s). A very rare car. ;-)

Dont forget to factor in the mandatory car break down along the way - usually on the side of the road with steam billowing from the opened bonnet.Stylish old car emax - how many kids in back?
same here - but even after we had played all those games, read comics, had a sing-a-long and a sleep - we still had 4 hours of travel (without A/C remember),........Australia is a big place and we weren't popping down to Bregenz from Munich for our summer vacation!

If you look very carefully in the 1st Grenadier, the guy in the passenger seat in the 1st Grenadier is the one who should be pressing ""SEND"" on all the contracts but is off on a jolly in the Scottish / British snow. !!! maybe next week , or the week after that...........WHERE ARE THESE DARN CONTRACTS????

We were five kids, so 7 persons in the car. One of us kids sometimes sleeping on the back shelf, another one partially on my mothers knees.Stylish old car emax - how many kids in back?

Exactly what you say. Though the Isabella was mostly trusty, it had of course still such issues. I remember a 600 Km drive from Ingolstadt to Aachen. A coolant hose got a crack.Dont forget to factor in the mandatory car break down along the way - usually on the side of the road with steam billowing from the opened bonnet.
Fantastic story and can relate to it being similar vintage… I would bet that Hillman Minx was modelled from that old car…We were five kids, so 7 persons in the car. One of us kids sometimes sleeping on the back shelf, another one partially on my mothers knees.
No safety belts or headrests at all, let alone ABS, ESP, A/C or airbags ...
The car was a 50ies build and famous in Germany. It was trusty but rusty: When my father pulled the handbrake, you couldn't open the door any more because the whole car buckled.
Perhaps the youngsters can now understand why many from our generation can often only shake their heads at electronic nannies in modern cars.
Those were the days ...
