Sick of waiting

[Jean Mercier]

Has any Grenadier owner received the roof bars yet? We are desperate for them. Camping is proving very cramped what with 2 large dogs taking up much of the cargo area.

Not yet, but I am not really needing them. But I don't like it ... no information on delivery either

 

[Tazzieman]

We are all @trobex, and sick of waiting

Of course we're not tempted to give anyone above just a tiny nudge

Speaking of which… proposed commissioning itinerary, once all the waiting is over.
Presuming we don’t break down just making it to Byron.

I haven’t made it to Steep Point yet. Soon.
Then I’ll have ticked NSEW and all the corners but will still need to do the geographic centre which I was near but forgot to drop into.

Except in a year or two the price will be $135, not $125.

Not likely with the coming global recession, orders will stall. Also depends on how the US responds to pricing, not good so far.

 

[Shaky]

Are we in a global recession ?

I know it’s a muted market but I am not sure it’s being classed as a global recession.

Probably being picky as the world market is challenging, however I can actually see the price creeping up slightly if things go well enough for Ineos

'coming' recession, the US will take us all down, again. I trade so have my finger on the pulse, the biggest everything bubble in history. Things always return to the mean sooner or later, and later is here.

Probably

Mmm, your thoughts on global recession aside. Ineos have stated that their offering will be going more up market, their pricing strategy has been shown with the prices in the USA, and the last price increase they implemented raised my build by $13k. I think everyone could reasonably expect that the price in 2 years time would be increased by another $10k.

Not sure about the image, never the less a good read..

A Deadly Day of Chaos at the Top of Mount Everest

It was one of the most arresting viral photos of the year: a horde of climbers clogged atop Mount Everest. But it only begins to capture the realities of what transpired that day at 29,000 feet. These are the untold accounts of the people who were there.

Feel a bit like a turncoat now as "AgentOrange" has eventually turned up and the keys pressed into my sweaty hand. One day the side steps and picknick table will arrive but at the moment very happy with it

 

[Shaky]

Looks bloody awesome mate, enjoy.

 

[Barney]

I love these green…

As I said, IA has gone through a, let me say, "complicated development and build process" leading to high pressure to deliver. And all what happens now is a consequence of that.

That is how I know Ineos. Right after having the idea follows the schedule when they are ready (even withount having anything in their hand). Mid 2016 when I get aware of the Grenadier the car shoul be on the market end of 2019, 2020 the latest.

As I said

On seemingly countless occasions now...

Because every other manufacturer doesn't put a project plan in place at the start of a project?

There is a green one at Chandlers, Belton with White Roof and it looks brilliant.
