What’s that special event???

[bemax]

What could that special event be?
Most likely it will be this scenario:
IA found out what a great job Stu does for them. Therefore they donated a Grenadier “Lara Croft Edition” which will be the main price of this years Forum Christmas Lottery (FCL).
Other prices will be extra fuel tanks (for Oz), caps, cups and of course sketch books.

Whatever the price is, I'd take it as long as it's a "Lara Croft" Edition.

 

[Krabby]

Tesla already announced they sewed up the Lara Croft edition.

Pricing for US? Ordering in the US??

Oh my god

Pricing for US? Ordering in the US??

I heard yesterday that they are still having problems with the approvals for the US.
Also the dealer model

Does the tradition of an Advent calendar exist around the world?

 

[Sebastian]

Countdown to the hard way home? Or global "launch" of the Grenadier with cars to the motor press, test drives possible at dealers on bitumen? For the latter: when's that ship arriving in Australia?

(sorry for making serious suggestions )

 

[Grey Nomad]

Perhaps they are going to announce the UTE / PICK-UP version is ready and I can convert my Toorak Tractor order to a useful UTE order for no extra pennies. All the worries about the spare wheel position and where to put the extra fuel will disappear in a flash.

 

[Davman]

Mmm - I wonder how Stu has suddenly become best friends with Sir Jim, as to know the inner workings of IA? Or perhaps our mate Stu, is really Sir Jim.😳

 

[Stu_Barnes]

Ha, funny guys.

The best post gets some forum merchandise when I can get it all finished.

There is part of me where Ineos says F" it. They make a dealer out of NC and then we buy via web with the designated dealer being NC. Then they ship it or we can pick it up.

 

[bemax]

Probably Stu just answered the holy question.
He will start the Merchandise Shop just in time before Christmas 🎄
I hope the Lara Croft Model 1:18 is available for a decent price!

 

[MileHigh]

My guess is that they will announce the US ‘road show’ tour time frame to see production models. My guess is that we could see it in Feb, but I think starting in the south in March and moving north in April and may. With maybe final pricing and ordering in early June?

 

[DaveB]

The first customer deliveries

 

[ECrider]

Sir Jim announces he now identifies as Lady Jane but will be keeping a moustache until the end of Movember

 

[DaveB]

I would be happy to identify as a Grenadier owner
There are so many of them on Facebook

 

[emax]

I hope the Lara Croft Model 1:18 is available for a decent price!

A 1:1 copy would be interesting as well.

 

[ECrider]

I saw a clip from a "special" Lara Croft film, titled "Womb Raider"....

 

[bemax]

A 1:1 copy would be interesting as well.

Presumably you would like to have your model with working motor and steering
AND a bonnet that can be opened 😀
