IG Owners - What did you come from, and what do you think?

[CRH]

Here’s my daily drive.

What do you do with that, looks like some kind of mini ferry

It's way better than my YUGO. Been waiting ages for the right vehicle to come along so I could finally trade that in. The Gren dealer gave me a surprisingly handsome sum for it as well.

But seriously-

I was driving a 1 ton pickup and a couple of 300tdi Defender 90's.
I sold my workaday defender, kept the restored, nice one.
Also, I realized quite quickly that I really no longer had a need for a truck anymore, my heaviest trailer is 7000 lbs.
So, I bought a small cargo trailer for 3 grand to handle bigger loads and ditched the pickup as well.

Love this thing.

I manage a private island and use this for general daily use plus a much bigger landing craft for materials and machinery.

I came from a 2012 Nissan Patrol GU. It was a little worse for wear and I had to buy a Grenadier . It was a great upgrade.

The Patrol was a great car for Outback touring and the last thing it did was save my life. The IG is even better.

I found out only this week about the last two injuries, nearly 3 years after the crash - actually 20 days short of 3 years. I have a traumatic brain injury impacting higher brain function and memory formation problems - all of which I knew and live with before the Doctors confirmed it.

From the above disaster to this (and aiming for The Kimberley later this year):

Holy crapolla Batman, did you hit a Dingo or some idiot on their phone? Glad you are still with ut. That looks like a bad one (the accident). Love the new rig.

Alleged drunk driver crossed the road in 100kph zone, head-on collision (slightly offset). Combined impact speed between 150 to 180 kph. No evidence he braked. Miracle I survived and he did not. His Toyota Troop Carrier was in worse shape than my Patrol.

Around 1.7 seconds between when I saw him start to cross the centre line and it was all over.

Wally The Grenadier has helped my recovery.

We were not injured but almost rolled. Side impact by a ford pickup truck (Lightninng) all electric, about 8000 pounds. My wife (because she is so sweet and tender) was bruised up a little, dog fared well as did I. Frame on the 200 was hammered, Skids and sliders saved it from being even worse. We got up on two wheels but luckily came back down on the tires.

Rupert the Grenandier is a great vehicle, just installed the full metalcloak underbody skids and diff guards last weekend. Already have sliders. Slowly getting it battle ready.

Either the luckiest day of your life or the unluckiest. Not sure which.

Yep, sucks I lost the LC 200 but good it made me drive Rupert a lot more and I know now it was a good decision to purchase the Grenadier.
