Episode 001 ”The History Of A Cunning Plan”

[Jean Mercier]

Just to confirm what was heard about the old fashioned way of building the Defender ...
One year ago, near Namur in Belgium I went to an Ineos test drive session (as a passenger).
I spoke with a Belgian guy there who had also visited the Land Rover Defender manufacturing plant before it closed: "everything manual, nothing automated, going back in time, and similar words!"

 

[Tomdoc]

Really enjoyed that - thanks and keep going!

 

[ADVAW8S]

Great job guys,

 

[Stu_Barnes]

Thanks for the kind words and support. We're busy editing episode 002 right now so stay tuned for that. The shows should go live every second Sunday, at least thats the plan.

Stu.

Excellent job guys! Enjoyed it very much.

Stu and Krabby,

Very entertaining. Great effort and love the banter. My favorite part, “why can we do this?” This is my mantra and the one thing I instill in my two sons “Don’t say I can’t but ask how can I?”

So grateful for JR to build the vehicle that fits my/our need.

 

[KBKLR]

Well done gents.

 

[Tazzieman]

Superb podcast @Stu_Barnes and @Krabby

Firstly , anyone who visits for a meal (and does not identify as vegetarian) is required to order the beef Wellington. After all , the portrait of the Duke (who visited the pub) is staring at you!

Just to revisit the back of a napkin tale , when I was there the manager pointed out the 2017 signed banknote on the ceiling, but as for a napkin , there was nothing I could find.
Does anyone know if it actually exists? Or is it the quest for the Holy Grail?

Here is my pic of the note on the ceiling

Very cool. But I think you spelt "stunt" wrong.

There sure is a lot of US currency for a pub in the UK.....

Indeed. But you can't get pound notes these days...

 

[PBD]

Well done guys, I can envisage the day when you two and the "hamster" are producing vids of the many adventures we forum members undertake in our Grenadiers

 

[IG_in_AZ]

Great production, and very informative! Thank you, @Stu_Barnes and @Krabby. Please keep them coming!

 

[AZGrenadier]

I have to say I really enjoyed this. Thank you for getting it together.

Thanks, it takes a lot longer than the run time believe me.

Episode 002 looks like it's setting up to be pretty entertaining, so tune in on Sunday September 3rd and every 2 weeks after that...

Can't wait to hear it. I am sure that it a ton of work. First one was amazing, I am sure the next one will be as well. It helps us in the US stay excited about the truck!!!

 

[Barney]

Thank you both. This is a lot of work. I enjoy it. But I can only hear it if my wife is not in the room, too much Grenadier in the moment in my life…

 

[Bruce]

Still kicking myself that I didn't drag the wife and kids to the pub when we were in Kensington a year ago. Great episode guys, keep it up.

Welcome to the brand new and officially unofficial Grenadier podcast hosted by KRABBY and STU, but the real star of this special first epidote is Sir Jim Radcliffe, self made man and the driving force behind the New INEOS Grenadier.

We get to grips with the how, when and why of the Grenadier backstory, we take you from the initial ideas through its development and to final delivery.

So put the kettle on, kick back and get comfy as we delve into the backstory of what some are calling the world’s #lastSUV This is GRENADIER WORKS.

Hi Stu, Has episode 3 podcast dropped yet. I would recommend a podcast thread titled "Podcast - Grenadier 4x4" - where all of us could find PodCasts of the Grenadier both from you and Krabby and others too. Each episode could be announced under the same thread, so that it would be easy to find them and get notifications under "What's New" whenever we sign on. DaBull
