DCPU · Nov 23, 2022

Yes I saw this on linkedin wow what a way to recieve your Grenadier!! SA is a wonderful country and Durban quite exciting!

Slightly puzzled at the reference to the "first"?

Does Namibia not have African soil?

Good to see one of them has a Roo Bar on it. However, given there are no Roo’s in Africa, what do they call it there?

I assume it meant Production - To Customer Released Grenadiers. (There seems one "The hard way home" vehicle on board at least I read something like this in the pictures of inside the carrying vessel) Is one of the winners living somewhere there? There were a few w/o license plate attached. So vehicles for customers.

Maybe just an ad?

Reading between the lines, are they saying that these are not prototypes...maybe? Rhino Bar sounds alright but if you hit one whoops...happy motoring

Springboks are about the same size as red roos.

Yes, you're right. I don't want to imagine what happens to the poor rhino. It will be thrown into the ditch. Then you can transport it on the Rhino Rack.

Yet, it’s those All Black variants that are the biggest problem.

Yep, bloody little flightless birds getting stuck in your treadblocks after running over the damn things.

These things make a mess when you hit them
They weigh a couple of kilos and don't get out of the way in time.
Come round a bend where 20-30 of them are sitting on the road and you can end up with a cracked windscreen, damaged radiator and blood all over your paint work

Hahaha. I hit a dozen or so Corellas near Innaminka the same way. Idiot things all took off and then turned and headed straight for me. No damage though - Toyota Tough.

These bin chickens have decided to take up residence on both sides of the motorway on the Gold Coast and there are dead birds everywhere that have been hit by cars
They should go to South Africa on the ship with the Grenadiers

Ineos has contacted us as the one of the first customers in SA to join them beginning of Dec for a weekend to self drive the very first IG. I presume it should be these cars!
