3rd party Videos Vera + Christian: My Grenadier On Youtube

[emax]

The day I got my Grenadier my first visit was at Christian and Vera in the neighboring village. Christian made a little video about the visit - humorous as always.

And as usual, Christian had some interesting findings ...

Here it is:

Great to see this emax. Really like Christian and Vera. Thanks for popping over!

Yep, he's right as usual. The dangling wires, why???? Perhaps they were always meant to be covered but just ran out of time....One of the first things I will have to resolve.

 

[Tazzieman]

Watched that yesterday. Nice fun footage!
Will they be tempted by the Dark Side?

 

[emax]

Tempted may be. They really like the Grenadier. But they want to keep their Discos as well. So I don't think that this will happen anytime soon.

Enjoyed the video.....good to see the removal of THE sticker....!

They are desperately searching the factory looking for Pierre .
I don't have any hanging wires.

Well well well, why such a hatred against the French and built?
They made and still make quite some decent cars: I had a Citroen Dyane, my father had 2 Peugeot 504, ...
My former Japanese car, a Suzuki Grand Vitara, had a Diesel Renault motor: about 220.000 km on the odo meter, and only now at the end I probably had a turbo issue (that I didn't repair anymore).
And don't forget there are some French people on this Forum

My wires are not really hanging, but I have to admit that branches could perhaps tear some off. So indeed a point of concern, but this is German/Austrian design by the way!

 

[Tazzieman]

I'll be leaving the sticker on, even though I have a British passport.

You nailed it, good points Jean

 

[Tazzieman]

Grenadier is , after all, a word designed , built and tested in France.

 

[Beormund]

Wow, the guy notices things super quick. Great video.

I had a Renault Megane RS250. Fantastic car with a lot of character. So good in fact i brought the RS265 as well.

 

[Deichrutscher]

I think the reason is "its´s a sticker" and not a "plaque with only the france flag"
The solution could be a plaque with flags of the three countries.
(a little gimmick: for France, United Kingdom and Germany Ineos had to make the destination-country flag a little bit bigger as the other two flags on the plaque)

The RS250 was an awesome car, I had one with a Milltek exhaust and it made me smile ear to ear every time I drove it. Great gearbox and clutch setup, and a cracking pair of Recaros.

@Jean Mercier I wouldn't call it hatred. I don't hate the French and I don't think anyone here does. I even had a great love affair in France a few decades ago and considered living there.

But I feel free to dislike their understanding of engineering. I agree with you about the Peugeot 504, which was and still is an exceptionally robust and good car. But as for the rest - sorry, my experience has been terrible (I had old Citroens and a Renault and always had to repair them myself).

And I think it is a normal tradition to scold your neighbors in some matters. We Germans are called humorless Krauts. The Italians are often called chaotic, the French arrogant, the British snobbish. But so what. It's a grumpy-friendly rant, and everyone gets one's come-uppance - often with a grain truth in it.

I think @emax removed it as a bit of fun. I just don't like stickers on my vehicles, always remove such things. It's not anti-French, like most of us we have all owned French cars in the past.

Watching LeMans and I don't want any of the Europeans to win, just the Toyota. Why, I have no idea, but its the team I fancy.

 

[grenadierboy]

Thanks Emax - good video to start but I really look forward to their drive of your Grenadier and their thoughts - good & not so good.

Nevertheless, I have been able to add an item to my "Grenadier Shakedown Checklist": check all under-chassis cabling.

If it's hanging down, can I raise and/or better attach to the chassis or need after market protection.

Me too.
