On my vehicle 106 KMH indicated is 100 KMH on the GPS so a typical speedo innacuracy that all car manufacturers use these days to avoid lawsuits.

The same on my unmodified 1978 911
Ah these last century cars , ahead of their time - and still running as reliably as ever!

Little country town of Howard about 15 kms from my place.

Howard looks like a good place to drive through, unless you are bookish
"The Howard Library opened in 2000 and underwent a major refurbishment in 2014"

are you aware that your cargo barrier does not comply with the Australian standard?

No, although I also didn’t know that there was a standard.

 

[Jean Mercier]

Hey @DaveB happy to see you back!
The only problem: I wanted to beat you in number of posts somewhere one or two years later, but I guess I won't succeed now
You enjoy your Grenadier, like most of us. I enjoyed the Australian roads, and scenery. I had the luck to drive "a litlle bit" in Australia some 10 years ago, fantastic country!

Great review, thanks for posting!

so If Queensland is the sunshine state and, in the US, Florida is the sunshine state does that mean you have “Queensland Man” memes like we have “Florida Man” memes?

The Marree Man in South Australia is 28km, 17.5 miles long possibly the tallest man ever ?, and he can be seen from space, no one knows who made him, but it is rumoured to be a parting gift from the United States Air Force after being stationed in the area, but the locals will tell you it was a UFO.

proof that Ineos is just copying Landrover Defender.

Here is an Australian army Landrover Perentie.

Here is an Ineos Grenadier Australian Perentie in my backyard.

Love a good lizard. Though not a perentie in sight in Tassy.
Parentie , but not perentie.

My apologies
I can accept myself being wrong
I can live with the Australian Defence Force being wrong
I can accept Wikipedia being wrong
I doubt the Landrover club is wrong
No way I can accept Sir David being wrong

If you can't afford a Grenadier or a travel buddy 12v oven...

We have 3 living in our backyard and a big male which visits on his rounds of the neighbourhood females.
We have the main female that is about 1.5 metres long.
One of her babies which is about 4 months old and about 700mm
A new born which is about 400mm
The male is probably about 2 metres plus but he doesn't come near the house.

Lace monitor or good old goanna likely.
I’d reckon you live a long long way from the nearest wild perentie @DaveB
Those buggers are huge.

Those buggers are huge.

All goanna's are part of the monitor family.
These ones look like the yellow spotted goanna/monitor but they only grow to about 1.2 metres.
The Perentie grow to about 2-2.5 metres in central Australia and western QLD, as you say- huge.
The one in my video is the baby, about 4 months old.
You can take a stab at the length, I am not going to measure him.
Picture on the right is the mother taken on 25th October last year outside our laundry.
She is way over a metre long, I estimate her tail is over a metre, so probably around 1.75 metres overall.
I was about 4 metres away when I took the picture.
That path is around 600-700 mm wide at a guess.
As all the ground around here is sand so it could be a sand monitor.

This isn't my video but it impressed the hell out of me.
I think this is exactly the kind of trip the Grenadier is made for.
Not the only type but a great way to use it.
Note there are no Grenadiers on this video, just some of their older cousins.

I've watched that channel , great stuff. No loud music or showing off...just flying close to the ground and having fun in stunning environments. I love NZ and New Zealanders.

The terrain reminds me a lot of the west coast of Tasmania.
