Arcane Grenadier

[255/85]

Having lived, I'll take death due to wealth over death due to poverty. That coming from someone that on the surface appeared to have a lifelong dream of dying poor and has done everything possible to ensure that success.

You and me both. And they said I had such promise too.

OH OH PICK ME PICK ME!!!!!


They need it. I don't think the higher prices offset the cost overrun's. The "sir" has the attention span and manufacturing knowledge of 2012 Musk not 1912 Henry Ford.

You have to remember that Henry had to start somewhere and it wasn't at the pub...he already had the name but his marketing awareness was genius...simple, one colour and affordable...poor old "sir" obviously suffered in this regard and had to lean on some in the know...he was pretty friendly with Mr. Benz fortunately and of course Mr. Magna Steyr and motor mouth Mr. Beamer all helping and advising on how to get going and if he headed in the wrong direction he had Mr. Brembo stop him and pull him back into line...unfortunately Elon wasn't available, spaced out or something...it is tough at the top but he had to start somewhere...at the Grenadier...cheers

New hints/teasers via email quoted below. Nothing sparking joy so far... especially the talk of a jeweler. Sounds like some bougie nonsense as many predicted in this thread.

"Low carbon leather"
But I demand to know, how much methane? Do they attach emission sensors to their cows?
Virtue signalling is a lot of hot air; methinks not good for planet warming.

They harvest the cow farts to power the steam iron. 100% carbon neutral.

Or they could just invest in a great Tasmanian product, 101% organic

Hmmmm, I was looking at the seats today wondering how much actual “leather” was in the leather seats. They’re a long way away from what real premium leather is, although much better than a lot of other leather seats I’ve seen, modern Toyota included.
I know the difference in quality from say my 2008 sahara seats to anything in the last 10 years is significant.

And do you know why?
The baby cows drink oat and almond "milk".

Leather tanneries have largely moved to the Far East due to the labour cost and the use of some fairly toxic chemicals.

So moving hides to and from Vietnam for example is high carbon.
