We have a thread about seeing Grenadiers, but I’d like to hear people’s stories about people approaching them about ‘the funny looking truck’. I know I’ve had over 30, 4 in the last week, interactions with people since I’ve gotten my IG.
When I go to the hardware store, I always spend an extra minute in my IG before leaving with the window open. Someone almost always gives a thumbs up or asks questions.
People often think that is a G-wager variant - and that is costs as much and are surprised that they are under $90k. Or they think that it’s an old Defender that has been re-done.
My 30 second commercial goes something like:
“A British billionaire Loved old Land Rovers, so when when they stopped making the old 110s, he asked to buy the plant, but was turned down. He said “screw you” and hired Styer, the guys who engineered the G-wagen to design him a modern, but not too modern Defender 110. It has a German BMW engine, Italian axels, and is built in France…. It’s got triple lockers, body on frame construction, recirculating ball steering and as little technology as legally possible. Some billionaires blow their money going to Mars, starting airlines, or buying newspapers- I’m so glad that Sir Jim Ratcliffe wanted something that I could own and is basic as possible. It’s my middle finger to the 21st century.”
What is your ‘Schtick’ when people ask you about your IG? How often do you get asked? What’s your best story?
