I assumed that selected jornos are due to their knowledge of/use of 4x4 - they must be!

I bet he reports that the steering was heavy and unresponsive

And the seat heater was inconsistent between his left and right butt cheeks

I'm guessing the Autocar photographer also didn't want to be there:

LOL the comments on Twitter:

"Loving the US MGB spec bumper"
"I still think they look like someone bought a classic Defender from http://Wish.com"
"Yes, a pure brexiteer project…hope it fails just like brexit failed…"
"I’ve often wondered what happened to those steering wheels Ripspeed couldn’t shift in 1982."

They must have gone somewhere serious because that stuff wouldn't even require the centre diff to be locked.

Complaining about driving in the dark? Triple locked on a perfectly flat track with a few millimeters of mud? It seems like Ineos have gathered together a gang of "motoring journalists" that feel uncomfortable if they are not driving on paved roads on a sunny day, with plenty of time for a big dinner before a comfortable bed.... They will surely delve deep into the "real" purpose of the Grenadier
I can reimagine how some of these guys would like to review the Grenadier:
"After a leasurely morning looking for a suitable cologne in Harrods, I made my way towards Sloan Square for my luncheon date at Colbert. The Grenadier gave me a sense of security in the city traffic but, at the same time, I found the bulk was a disadvantage, especially maneuvering round Hans Place Garden and on to Cadogan Square. Then, on arriving at the restaurant, once more the bulk and heavy streeng made parking rather more bothesome than my usual Fiat 500. No doubt this vehicle will find a niche ownership with Scottish Ghillies and Welsh Sheep Farmers, but I cannot recommend it for the general motoring public....")

Well on the positive side of things, at least they will be able to give us an opinion on how it drives on sealed roads - with some kind of authority.

If only there was some sort of device on the front of the car so you could see in the dark!

That's when you need the 17,000 lumen light bar on the rack and the two extra 2,000 lumen flood units on the bull bar

Spoke to the Brisbane agent today - he’s happy we’ll be very happy with it.

Yes but where to bolt them?

Precisely. It’s not lit until you can see it from space.

They are only 204 mm wide each so either hanging under the top bar next to each other (red) or one hanging from the top bar and one from the bottom (green)
Angled out slightly to each side maybe 2-5 degrees
Use the 10A outlet that is already under the bonnet and switched as EXT1
As they are fog lights they don't need to be linked to hi beam ( borderline theory in some states)

Can't wait for the road test reviews of production models.

I wonder what Ineos will offer in foggy countries? You would the factory would provide.

I don't like the Rhino rack or their 40" led lightbar so I will be sourcing the accessories myself.

DCPU · Jan 14, 2023

Has there been many of the PTOs with the the LED light bar fitted?

He might have secured his car with ropes to the cars in front and rear as well.
You’ ll never know what incredible dangerous things come next!!!
