Sick of waiting

Nice plans. Wont have any trouble finding these guys. Grenadier on Flinders Island would be fun. View attachment 7807530View attachment 7807531

Rare on the main island of Tas. I think they have blown over to Flinders from mainland Oz in the past.

Heaps on Flinders every year and there are spots where you see the trees full. They love the milkweed. I’m based in Launceston but work regularly on Flinders. I’ll have to take the Grenadier for a boat trip over one day.

Same here. My sister has bought land there and one day we'll get over in the Gren.

I've been out training for my Euro walking holiday in May-June.
During daylight hours I tend to get on our mountain
Rainforest and alpine within 20 minutes of home.
Even though it overlooks the capital city , there are many completely silent spots without phone signal.
Bliss!

Wow - that looks stunning. Better than my dreary, wet, neighbourhood.

I will return to Flinders Island in August for my third visit.

A great place to visit and you could take your Grenadier over on the ferry, which has limited car capacity (last time I visited).

where in Europe are you walking?

1. Cornwall coast
2. Slovenian alps

That will be a long walk

I received an email from INEOS on Wednesday asking for full payment, which i duly arranged.. Local dealer confirmed receipt, but hasnt been told by INEOS when he can release the vehicle.. sort of hurry up and wait..

I would be pretty pissed off if I had paid the money and it wasn’t ready for delivery within the contracted two days. I don’t intend to send any money until my dealer has confirmed the vehicle is there PDI’d with registration organised and ready to go.

Totally agree. When they are ringing telling me the vehicle is there ready to be picked up and I have been to look at it and confirm they are right and it’s the right spec etc, then and only then will I release the money. For the sake of getting into a situation, then I can live with an extra two days.

How about we rename this thread the „Fireplace“ once we hit 100 pages? Somehow this thread is where we all return to to feel at home and to know we are not alone in our insanity…?

Or, the Grenadier Virtual Pub!

Another old forum I used to frequent had a “good morning” thread which had no real purpose other than to chew the fat.

It went everywhere and off on any tangent and was a pleasant place. Until a couple of geese took it elsewhere and a moderator nuked it - which almost started world war 3.

Maybe this could be that thread - without the nuking and the bad attitude.

That's the mountain.

A neighbour took delivery of his new Discovery back in Sept 22 - it only had one key. He was promised by his JLR dealer that he would get the second key in a few months. 6 months later and he is still waiting for his second key!

I had a similar experience last year. I bought a Cub Camper trailer but it arrived with the wrong coloured upholstery. Dealer said it would be fixed in 2 months but it took them 7 months to supply the correct cushions.

Agreed! Money will not change hands until I have inspected the vehicle. Happy to make a second trip to,the dealer after payment if necessary.

The week ahead

Possibly the first customer delivery
And the one hundred milestone passed

 

[Jean Mercier]

Or tomorrow morning early, first delivery, and @Stu_Barnes closes this thread with a grin at 99 pages

So while we all eagerly await news of actual customer handovers in the next few days, do we have any more information of Ineos' policy regarding for instance:
* Complimentary 5 Day Initial Purchaser Comprehensive Insurance Cover
* 3/5 Years AA/RAC/Greenflag Roadside Assistance (or equivalent in other markets)

We’re both of those promised or is that your wish list ?

It’s been that long everything is a bit hazy to be honest
