No, a hundred km to the east. Bielefeld

Barney · May 2, 2023

sorry is correct. Bielefeld doesn't even exist. I'm going to my father's at the weekend and I'll practically drop by your place

Update:
He's home!
Got back late after 100 miles round trip over all sorts of roads.
It's everything I had hoped for and more. Drive and comfort great, computer a bit complicated if I am honest but as yet I haven't really sat in it and played around with it.
Photo of it( crap photo will try hard later) on my driveway next to his little brother, the disco 4 called "The Truck". Think the Grenadier will be "Rocky", he certainly looks the part.
Very very pleased.
Thanks to mark and Ben at J T Hughes for all their help and assistance, can't recommend them enough.

No mate, it's been a utility room/ workshop/ motorbike home for 30 years!

@PBD ...Well.... "Rocky" certainly has a "presence" when lined up with yr D4!

Enjoy (x 3)!!

Suspect the D4 is in access mode but even so, Rocky makes Truck look mini! Surprisingly so.

Congratulations

Driver en route to pick me up as I type!

That's the 2nd person that has posted about a pickup rather than home delivery. Something I hadn't heard about before but I can see the benefits.

I was going to have it delivered but to be fair picking me up from home and taking me to it was just as easy. I also benefited from a three hour 100 mile trip, which I thoroughly enjoyed

Are you going to transfer the D4 plate over (keep D4/sell the truck)?

No way is anyone delivering my Grenny to me, I'd rather get a train/plane/automobile to Jardines. If they want to send a driver to pick me up then kudos to them. It's akin to someone carrying your bride over your own threshold!

I was planning on selling it later, but the wife, out of the blue said she enjoyed driving and using it! This after forty years plus of saying trucks are too big!!
She's not getting a chance with Rocky!

perhaps there's a PBD 911 or something similar with the DVLA?

Actually wondering what's going on at Jardine's, they have had mine for 10 days now doing "PDI" was delivered ex works with all campaigns completed and passed QC, My Grenadier "Agent Orange" is down in Colchester so waiting for them to bring it to Kent - thats an ongoing discussion on how that will be achieved !! More calls to Georgia today me thinks

10 days seems a bit long. I think I read 14 days to turn the vehicles around. Anything longer then I'd want Georgia to explain why.

Good luck and hope you get yours pronto.

Ps. presume Colchester is the bigger/workshop set up compared to Sevenoaks?
