Global Grenadier number (club medallions)

[Tazzieman]

Puzzling etymology… ‘ducks guts’ is to duck liver as ‘bees knees’ is to honey (= “where the good stuff is at”/“Gucci”).
Then again ‘duck’s nuts’ seems similar to ‘eels ankle’ (=“too good to be true”/“unobtainium”). Maybe it’s a regional thing?

eel's ankle?
1st time I've heard that , and I'm no spring chicken.

That one’s another Americanism, but where from… Fitzgerald? Kerouac? I can’t remember.

Never heard of eels ankles either.

Hi Steve,
I stuck it on the left because in Germany the vehicles are left-hand drive and the drivers behind me should see the badge.

I’m with Rovie on this thought process. In the UK so it will go on the right hand side.

It will look the dogs danglies for sure.

Gut feel was the right on the drivers side as well but I was worried about the spare wheel being an obstruction. However after eyeballing the rear it wasn’t an issue so it’s now on the drivers side

Pic will appear in Henry’s blog soon.

Cheers

Well I have gone for a higher position for readability when people are walking around checking out the truck they can see it easily...the other still tossing up...it might end up inside the Gren

Did you move the UK/German sticker to the back or was that already there?

Controversial , they look good and unique (in a certain way) where ever you put them.

I am still waiting for mine but has anyone used the two and put one low down on each side of the car on the front wing/fender ?
Do they actually fit anywhere there ?

I put that there...in OZ the side indicators on the guards had to be changed due to a luminosity standard...that meant that the whole panel was changed and they had that flag badge on it so I scored one and placed it there...mine didn't have one due to the High rise air intake tube if that makes sense the agent gave it to me or it would be binned

You'll fit right in when you drive thru Massachusetts tho we refer to them as a Rotary...tho many other places in the US call them roundabouts...(such a horrible name)

Who have you arranged vehicle insurance with for the USA. I have found it quite difficult in my searches to find anyone that will insure a right hand drive U.K. registered vehicle.
Thanks

If you need to remove it then you can use some dental floss to cut through the tape and then “goo gone” or similar to remove the residue.

Shipping plans? I feel compelled to recommend the Southampton-New York RORO service via Autoshippers: super easy both sides.
