Sick of waiting

[Michael H.]

Happy in principle to join a group of Grenadier owners if there is an appropriately experienced group of people. Just don’t want to do solo for first time at least, and want the advice they give you on what you need. Also have had experiences in the past where people have said yes sure let’s do it but no one could ever settled on firm dates or plans, or people started dropping out one by one until it no longer becomes viable. The advantage of a tag along is that there is a fixed date you can plan your schedule around.

I help out a tag along operator, and I can’t wait to do my first trip with him in my Grenadier when it arrives.

I'd be happy to keep in contact with you and let you know dates etc, once we get our vehicles. Feel free to message me.

Damn, looking at orders all around the globe and who is getting what: - both the wife and I are seriously contemplating changing our entire end of year plan. It was meant to be a full SEP into OCT trip... with the Gren. I'm not sure at the moment... if I will get this vehicle IN AUG which will give me the time to prep it for the journey...

What kind of prep are you planning?

Pardon me whilest I trade mark Guardsman …

You might be better off trying to get:

Privateer
Brigadier
Quartermaster
Fusilier
Sapper
Kingsman
Gunner

The small electric version could well be called Gren-E

 

[Orcmurd]

I'm impatient, after being promised, October, November, December, January, February. On March 1st, if they cannot give me a firm delivery day, then I will try to negotiate my deposit back.

You all might say, so "close", but I would say so "far" and I'll buy a Defender.

Is there not 6-12 month delay on new Defenders?

Your back

Called Ineos today. The lady could not find my file. Said she'd look into it and call me in the next hour. She did. My car is built and is in Hambach. It is undergoing a manual inspection and waiting for a software update. She will get back to me next week to give me more details on delivery. She expects it in the next two weeks. So at least with me, Ineos has always kept its promises. Let's see if they get back to me next week on the update.
Contract signed on November 7. Went into construction on January 9 with conversion of my account. Then heard nothing until today.

DCPU - back safe after running deep and dark behind enemy lines.

Marvellous. The media section has been poorly propped up in your absence.

I was considering a solo crossing in August actually

Thank you, I will, maybe we can out together an all Grenadier trip

In fact, this is perhaps an idea for a future section of this forum: anyone planning a trip where he/she/it would like to have other cars joining (perhaps open to other 4X4) or would accept taking some passengers could announce it on such a new section.
@Stu_Barnes ... what do you think?
Could be by continent, or in some cases by country if there are too much proposals.
But perhaps this exists on other platforms. I never searched for it, because I am mainly a "lonely" traveler, but that doesn't mean I would not be open to it.

I pick up hitch-hikers when I can, although this is an almost extinct species, at least in Europe. I hitch-hiked myself a lot when I was younger.

Well… unless the naming convention is rather the location at which Sir Jim conceived the vehicle.

Perhaps the Ineos Monaco? (Ineos Tax Haven seems unwieldy)
Ineos Trafford?
Ineos Treddly?

Ineos Crapper
Ineos WC

This is part of the intention of the localized sections of the forum.

• Conversations about and arranging local meetups.

Local Forum Guidelines WA

Welcome to the local forum for WA, This section of the INEOS forum is for particular conversations concerning WA. A few examples of what lives here as opposed to elsewhere on the forum. Petrol station prices in a particular town / village. Petrol availability in the outback. Recommendations...

If your area doesn't have a specific region then let me know and we can look into establishing one.

looks like the accessory manufacturers have received their IG's.

There were early public statements by Ineos that they would make some prototypes available to selected after market firms for development purposes. After they'd completed their work the vehicles would be crushed....

I could be wrong, but looking at the pre delivery door protection, this seems to be a production model.

Good idea forming own groups for trips.

Have not been a big fan of clubs or Tagalongs as you never know who’ll you’ll get. Only takes one to spoil a trip. I’m hoping that some local day trips organised through the local division section will result in the more full blown trips.
