The average age of a Grenadier buyer…..

[dime80]

41, can’t wait to jump in the seat and clock up some km’s. Any one heard when demonstrating in QLD?

50 years counting…

 

[Shaky]

A grumpy 54.

However I still feel like I am in my mid 30’s. Every time I walk past a mirror there is some old fart staring at me. No idea who he is but I think he is stalking me !!

 

[LODGE-WAGON]

Seems to be north of 50.

So I’ll start. 58, likely 59 before mine arrives.

 

[LODGE-WAGON]

59 by the time mine arrives

 

[Tazzieman]

60. Which is the new 40.

I know you probably meant that as a joke but I recall when my parents were 60 they were old.
That was 30 years ago.
Everyone I knew who were in their 60's looked and acted like 80 year olds do now.
My wife is 63 and she goes stand up paddle boarding with her friends 2-3 times a week most of them are 55-70

 

[Andries Raven]

46 at delivery...

 

[Davman]

I have been telling people that I am 32 for 15 years now. Problem is that people now don’t believe me any longer.

 

[crimson]

I'm 42. Got a 8 year retirement plan, which includes the Grenadier (along with my wife).

I wonder how many responses we would have received if this forum was made up of woman. Lots of 25s. 28s etc LoL

37, going on 21.

I brought up the subject of women in the forum a long time ago and asked if there were any women here who had ordered a Grenadier. I would very much welcome it if this were the case. I would rather talk to women than about them.
I have met women who have bought their own Defender and who leave some macho men out in the cold with their pimped Defender.

It is a risk in a group of all dudes that it gets a bit too "Dude-ey", and the conversation turns into jokes or humour that is genuinely unwelcoming to others; I state this only to say I agree with the sentiment here that I'd like this place to be inclusive of Gren owners whoever they are, and not "an old boys club that revolves around the Grenadier" (Which to be clear, I don't think it is, but it could turn into that if we're not intentional about it as a community).

FWIW, I tend to take on the responsibility for the vehicles in my family, but my wife is the primary driver and so this is as much her Grenadier as it is mine; I know a few other folks whose female-identified significant others are the ones who want to use the rig, but the male-identified partner is the one who enjoys shooting the breeze on the internet about it!

... and by the way, yes, I can also gender, use diversity and eat vegan,... all 3 sometimes...

Not sure if it's an age related, but as much as I love spending time on the forum, I battle to keep up with all the new posts and content, along with a full time job and 6 year old daughter.

I could easily spend and hour or 2 a day here... What are others doing with their time?

Typing between bites of my peanut butter sandwich, until the lunch break is over. Occasionally I'll pop on here during the day as a huge part of my job is solving problems, and sometimes I need to turn my brain "off" from the problem and focus on something else - like winter tires in the thread I just posted in! - and after 10 minutes I turn my attention back to the problem and the solution becomes obvious. This process seems to work for me, for some reason. There's probably a pharmaceutical product that would achieve the same goal but this feels healthier!

Social media has helped show there is life after 50.
Some people like to act like "old" people. Just because you turn 60 doesn't mean you have to join a bowls club!

Oh, you know. I set priorities. The forum is important to me. I also have enough to do, but my goal is to scan as many new posts as possible during the day. Otherwise I feel like I'm missing something. Not easy, but I'm no stranger to multitasking. By the way, I just changed tyres in between. Checked the forum after each tyre.
