[Top Cat]

Hello all, TonyClark (hence Top Cat)  here from Gawler in  South Australia.
I have always been a Land Rover fan, having owned 5 D2's, a Range Rover L322 and a D4SE. I am also restoring a 1968 S2a.
Whilst I love the look and feel of the new Defender, I could not see myself taking through some of the rough mountain tracks or deserts that I go into a lot, especially at the price of an optioned one.
The Grenadier caught my attention from the start and I have been following the development with interest. I reserved early and have ordered a Trailmaster version for construction (hopefully) in March next year.
I like the fact that it is, like me, old school! It is strong, with proven components and relatively simple.  It ticks all my boxes for what I want it to do and, more importantly, carry.
I am looking forward to being part of the forum and maybe meeting some of you!

Hello Top Cat,that sounds like a good plan. What colour did you choose?Maybe you find it intersting to join GRUNT, as there is a white area in south africa that needs to be filled. https://www.theineosforum.com/post/grunt-the-grenadier-user-network-12393226?highlight=grunt&pid=1333091309

South Australia? ?

 

[Top Cat]

Yes, South Australia! But only 6 minutes by D2 to the  Barossa Valley, 4 hours to the Flinders Ranges, what a place to be with a 4WD!

Welcome Top Cat,

The second I saw your name I thought of the great UK cartoon I grew up watching!
