sure I do! Nothing went as planned due to the crazy weather. The route was constantly changed and we never slept where we were supposed to (except in Marrakech). That also meant we couldn't do as much offroad as planned cause all the "nice" tracks were covered in snow and the streets closed down by the police. The team tried to "convince" them but it didn't work.
During the five days in Morocco we had two flat tires on the Grenadiers and one break down of a Landcruiser (they managed to fix it after a few hours).
Since those were/are early cars the software sometimes showed failures that weren't there (that is gone now). Some door knobs got stuck every now and then but that got fixed on all the cars as well (was a production error).
All the hard ware worked fine and it still does. Right now I have roughly 9000km on my car....no issues so far. I will talk about reliability and issues after 10k on my YT channel as well....trying to provide honest information there...

Looks like Inglemar (I think that’s his name) has two oil leaks under his Grenadier

I hoped for a longer video or videos as well. Slightly disappointed. We got tons of material down there. And after Gibraltar I tried to avoid motorways as much as possible. Went through the alps and crossed as many mountain passes as possible (quite limited due to the snow).

Greetz, Ingemar ;-)

WI

Would you want 11k miles/km on your new car a week after picking it up??

DCPU said:

I think that was the cumulative mileage:

I am curious to know however whether any of the winners were offered a choice to drive an Ineos vehicle for the journey rather than their own.

And to add in case of their own cars, I would be curious if the trip was insured via Ineos until everyone reached their home driveway - I would guess so, which could also partially explain the license plates, and why it was a German license plate and not an Austrian.

Ingemar said:

that is correct! insured via Ineos (also because the Austrian Ineos branch was not setup then).
As you can imagine, driving around with the wrong license plate was/is quite hard for me as an Austrian ;-))))))
