Yep same here,

Apparemtly you have to be wearing an Olympic medal, whilst playing a rock guitar and steering a power boat with your feet to be even considered for a place.

I missed the small print that said mere mortals need not apply.

You should have a motocross gold medal, (at least) one for a 4x4 offroad rally, and a successful "American Idol" or "Germany's Next Top Model" application.

And they read in our forum and don't want grumpy old men.

But they didn’t choose us young cheerful and good looking chaps neither. Just because we lie from time to time.
Just so unfair!

even worse, no more changes to the spec will be possible, because I didn‘t answer the July mail (which I never received).

I feel for you.

It's really poor customer service to operate on such a negative basis rather than positively confirm your spec with you and so move ahead. It was supposed to be tied in with contract signing ~ if they'd kept to the plan then it would have worked.

Too much confusion and chaos at Grenadier Towers...I only wish Sir Jim was getting to hear all this and have a few more shouty words at the marketing bods.

Is he sponsored by LR or does he genuinely think the defender is better ?

Not saying he is wrong as I have no idea about he IG, but it’s an interesting comment to make. I suppose he was posting it on a Defender forum though.

Obviously long term links with the JLR brand, but then given what he does now, and who he has worked with, then I think he generally is quite diplomatic in the sense of knowing which side his bread is buttered on.

However, there's the occasional slip:

Yesterday I talked to a dealer at an Ineos self driving event. He told me that if I would change my configuration now in any way, I would loose my production slot. He thinks that it would cause a delay of approximately 3 to 4 month. Not an option for me. After market can help with some parts.

In fact, have any of you heard that he was chosen to pick up his Grenadier in the middle of nowhere?

It was her.
