Happiness Thread

A lot of times I travelled with my Defender 130 to the Higlands.
Went up to the north-eastern edge, Durness.
Made friends with a Landrover enthusiast there and slept very well in the dunes., next to the military radio tower.
Met a lot of open minded people over the truck.
Hope it will be similar with the Grenadier!
We are planning to take our Grenadier to the Higlands too and to visite our friends e.g. in Edinburgh,

Regards

Excellent idea.
Maybe ask @Stu_Barnes to create a Forum catagory for like minded souls. Just the good stuff and none of the bad.

Always makes me smile when I shimmy around on my back underneath my Grenadier, torch in hand, gazing at how it is engineered and built.

I have posted this before but it is timely to bring it back because I have never spoken of it's origin.
It is a poem written before I received my Grenadier and came to me from watching, listening and reading everything I could like man possessed about The Grenadier, the Guards, the cyclist team and I throw in the vehicle.
It was a whirlwind of excitement to be so close to something I was falling for and not really needing but don't let that get in the way of a life changing moment, when you pick up your own Grenadier.
Boys and toys, man and machine say what you will but the truth is, the poem is about The Grenadier and what you make of it, a machine, a Warrior, a toy.
The Grenadier is my release to freedom in so many ways, I thank Sir Jim for that and would loved to say that face to face, maybe one day.

I'm very happy with my Grenadier.i agree with most that there are some quirks, but they don't take away from the ownership experience.

You do have to scroll past the throw away comments on this forum.

I agree with this being a great vehicle. I only have around 2500 miles on it but love it so far. I am happy to say that I think the software issues, warnings, dings and dongs are easily managed by changing settings in the adas menu and pressing a few buttons on my favorites while a wait for the b58 revs to come down to idle. A lot of the issues that people complain about so much are very minor or non existent. Only time will tell how reliable this vehicle is. The only bonafide concern I have heard is front driveshaft failure and to a lesser extent leaking diff and transfer seals on some vehicles.

Question though. When I Google ineos grenadier forum, why is ineos nightmare a forum tab?? I think this is a rant from one previous member but this negativity is the first thing people see when they start seeing some online research. See attached photo.
