ASPW wants a Grenadier

[MrMike]

Is @DaveB actually ASPW?
Has anyone seen them in the same room?
Just asking...

Rumours abound!!

Could this be true!?

people have ended up in unmarked graves in the forest for insulting me less than that.

ASPW flying all the way to Toogoom in sunny Queensland to drive the mighty Grenadier……and dump shit on it.

He'll go home devastated the kangaroos have beaten him to it.

If he gets what he's wanting he can afford one - and put 10000Ah of Lithium into a Quartermaster tub

that's a lot of bread

Cart sprung + "Centre console (self-made PVC)"

Cart sprung + "Centre console (self-made PVC)"

…and, as even the mildly spoken Robert Pepper says, if you compare its offroad performance with any of the current better vehicles, It’d get slaughtered... Very reliable, but not very good value;
over 200,000 for an accessories showroom on badly sprung wheels__

 

[ECrider]

He must've got a GVM upgrade, how could he carry around his massive Ineos Automotive dislike otherwise?

That's a lot of gear on it too, it will sell, he had no issue selling the last one. Someone with more money than sense and wants all the bells and whistles.

I think his wife's expression in one of the photos says it all. DaBull

ASPW got an Ineos to review.

Actually a good review with some other points of view from an auto electrician car modifier.

"The Cursed Lump in the Driver's Footwell"
Or is it the cursed lump holding the wheel that's the issue?

 

[OzGrenny]

Well, that was far more positive from ASPW than expected... Still banging on about the footwell. I'm 6ft on the dot, I've got a major spinal injury & have driven mine with no issues whatsoever. I actually really like the seating position & the footrest, have never been more comfortable in an offroad vehicle before. Horses for courses I suppose.

That smile of his says it all… I say by Christmas of 2024 he’ll give up on that 2.8L 78 series and get himself in line for a Grenadier

A testament to the Grenadiers’ off-road capabilities from ASPW.

Not the worst outcome.

 

[Tazzieman]

Just back to the footwell , the small elephant in the room is his sedentary lifestyle. Many hours behind the wheel (trucker's/cabbie's back..) plus many hours editing films (+/- in the back of a troopy...what a nightmare) and engaging his accolytes via pc. Often very tense!
It makes for a glassback that does not enjoy spannering , changing tyres , hooking up vans , rugged walks etc.
Yoga and some bodywork - and the footwell would melt away.

If I am a betting guy, and I am, he will be in one soon. DaBull

 

[moosetown]

Good review from him. It amuses me that he cuts from what would be an excellent and dramatic ending scene, to him in the workshop talking about more random gripes.

 

[FlyingTexan]

Very honest review and I appreciated it. Didn't think I was going to but did. He was smiling a lot when driving it. I am happy that the US is LHD so the bump isn't an issue.

 

[Logsplitter]

I really don't understand the footrest issue or why some say they are sitting in an awkward position. I’ve done many long days driving over thousands of kilometres and find the Grenadier very comfortable.
All that being said it was a better review than I thought would come from Andrew
