Stuck at Cape York

[Blackwolf]

It seems to me to be highly unlikely that they only shot video of three of the four vehicles crossing the Pascoe, so Canny could immediately dispel the water ingress suggestions by posting footage of the failed vehicle doing the crossing. Unless, of course, the footage clearly shows it dunking its air intake, and unless the footage has mysteriously ceased to exist.

The very fact that the footage hasn't surfaced is to my mind compelling supporting evidence for the "drowned" theory.

I’ve been reliably informed what scares a Basil most is his wife Sybil so that should take care of the problem.

Just don't mention the war.

If Ineos told the world this was the result of exceeding maximum wading depth (watch the videos, note that this vehicle with no RAI is notably absent in the water crossings) the owner would not be warrantable and would likely also have his insurance claim denied.

He is getting his car back fixed.

Exactly right. And as thanks, what do Canny & Arthur do? - inexplicable!!! - Why would you. Arthur will be very, very lucky now, to get this replaced for free. Canny will be very, very lucky not to be taken to the Cleaners by Ineos!

INEOS must be thinking: Let no good deed go unpunished.

I'd be surprised if they don't, it may affect sales.

I'd be surprised if they don't, I heard their local dealer lost a lot of orders over this.

I recently spoke with Purnell Adventure in Sydney and that did not occur with them.

Informed buyers can see the cars exceeded max wading depth. Any brand and any model over max wading depth, with just a RAI or not, means trouble. It is not the car, but the driver.

If you cannot wear your Big Boy Pants to Cape York, do not go. It is not for you.

I'd be wary of rumours... I was there on Monday. There's no evidence that strong sales to date have been affected, the service facility is humming along.

Statement from Ineos Australia.

Well done Justin.

 

[Siddo]

A sensible reply but in my opinion entirely unnecessary. The involved parties knew this info yet chose to chase clicks by promoting a misleading story. Ineos opted not to say ‘hey numbnuts, you put water in the bits of your engine that don’t like water’, a comment they would have been blasted for. These guys took advantage of that silence and now Ineos are forced to reveal their side of the story. They’ll now probably be accused of throwing old mate under the bus. Damned if they do and damned if they don’t
