What a day in socal….. 4 Grenadier sightings and also ran in to Laird Hamilton and his Grenadier!

Started the day off cruising south on the PCH through Malibu, and encountered an oncoming Eldoret Blue with Black roof and bull bar headed northbound near Pacific Palisades around 11:45

Made our way down to the Santa Monica Promenade for some lunch and shopping (Lorrie forgot her laptop charger, and we just began a 10-day rv trip ). Headed back to Malibu is when the sightings came fast and furious.

Northbound on PCH sitting at the light to pull in to Ralph’s in Malibu for some groceries (3:00 pm) we encountered a Sela Green with temporary plates:



Then, 90 seconds later, cruising through the Ralph’s parking lot, we encountered a Magic Mushroom:



The story isn’t over yet……. Finished up our shopping, headed back out through the parking lot, and see a Scottish White with a giant surfboard on the roof, parked in a spot as two dudes admire it. I made a beeline straight for them. As we pull up next to them, I realize it is Laird Hamilton showing off his Grenadier to someone.

We roll down the window and start chatting with him. He seemed excited to see us, we talk shop for a few minutes, and then he tells us Gabby (his wife) also has a Sela Green Grenadier!



What a day. There are definitely some Gren’s running around the Malibu area. Are any of these you?

Finally get to play. We were incognito in a gray Subaru Ascent heading out of Lincoln City, OR this morning and saw one in Scottish White around the town of Otis on Highway 18.

I had a customer call the office yesterday to get some help with one of our portable power board that "somebody/nobody" broke.
He is heading off to Darwin next week to do a concreting job and needs it fixed.
Turns out he is only 15 minutes away from my place so he dropped it in this morning.
He saw the Grenadier and smiled.
His wife recently took delivery of one and she loves it.
Magic mushroom with a black roof.
Mine was only the second one he has ever seen.

Abbott Kinney in Venice, CA last weekend.

I’m convinced Anthony Bourdain is still alive and driving a brand spanking new (with a temporary plate) Grenadier.

The reverse of spotting is being spotted, right? Up in Cupertino visiting when spotted on De Anza preparing to head EB on I-280 by the owner of a Tacoma… who had left her Shale Blue Grenadier at home Still, a joyous encounter

Spotted this Sela green and managed to get a pic with my sterling silver in the frame as it was driving by. Route 16 in Newton MA.

Another Grenadier in Italy - while at Gas Station in Affi (Lake Garda).
Guido's Trialmaster in stunning MM with black roof - mine just a black Fieldmaster ;-)

 

[IGL]

I just saw eight Ineos Grenadiers in one go.

 

[RobS]

My friends were on the ferry to Shelter Island and took this photo. First one they’ve seen in the “wild”.

 

[ADVAW8S]

Saw Sela Green on Market St in Kirkland. Honked my horn in Yukon and waved but no response.

 

[FlyersFan76]

I saw the Black one in Stone Harbor, NJ again on July 4th.

We both gave each other thumbs up but I was in my Defender at the time. lol

My first sighting in the wild — Scottish white, North Hollywood. I was in LA for work,,, and have yet to see one in the wild at home.

Second sighting a day later, Magic Mushroom, 100 miles north. Two in two days!

Yesterday afternoon, Eldoret Blue with Black roof heading south on the B7076 2 miles north of Lockerbie. Both of us waving and flashing lights. Have seen it before and I think it must be local but suspect he is not a forum member.
