What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[Arkaig]

I’m getting through screen wash at some rate. The flat windscreen is picking up a fair amount of insect splatter. significant elbow grease required to remove the debris once you stop. But I don’t care. Always a big grin on my face

Another fortnight or so and the mighty Scottish midge will be out in force - happy days!

Ah, but the swallows are here, they shit on my cars, but they eat millions of midges! And the bats are out of hibernation as well taking their share.

I thought Nicola had resigned?

 

[Jean Mercier]

Today, nothing ...
Bicycle to railway station, train to Antwerp, first assignment but canceled, now sitting in train to Brussels for second assignment, then train back home (Ghent region), bicycle to home, and in the afternoon or evening ...
Dye the hair of my wife (hate that)
And then the nicer part, already partially done, continue to pack my car:


Because tomorrow I take the road to Hungary to visit my youngest son, spouse and granddaughter.

About 1400 km one way on my own (my partner still works, till May 31). Will take motorways and main roads to be there on Saturday.
Will take the road back home next Wednesday avoiding all motorways to be back on May 31. I hope to find some nice tracks to test the capabilities of the car.

I promise to post feedback, positive and negative, but perhaps not every day.

Question: what's the yellow stuff in my trunk?

Not much to go on Jean, is it the middle part of a massive Belgian flag and you will fly it from the Gren whenever you camp?

 

[Rab]

Catheter, you’re going to need it for 1400km, just run it out one of the floor drains.

Inflatable water wings for paddling?

He's only got 6 beers ; should be able to hold that in

Good luck Jean - nice "breaking-in" trip.

Come end of May you may well be the most experience Grenadier owner IN THE WORLD!! (maybe excluding the Hard Way Home guys)

 

[Skydance]

I couldn't find the verb "to PPF" in my dictionary...?

Yes paint protection film. Just a thin strip along the edge of the door sill.

bicycle rack?

 

[Jean Mercier]

bicycle rack?

Almost ...

I have a lot more beer, in the green suitcase in the back and behind the other rear seat. Do you really think I could survive with only six ?

 

[Tazzieman]

Do you really think I could survive with only six ?

You probably wouldn't enjoy Alone , nor Naked & Afraid!

 

[ECrider]

Come on Jean, we need more clues.

Inflatable kayak/paddle board etc?

 

[Rab]

Folding bicycle

 

[Krabby]

Inflatable "friend?"

 

[DCPU]

Today, I PPF’d the corners of the door sills. When I climb out using the narrow side steps, I always catch the corners.

I think I'd be doing the backs of the rear seats if you have any plans to haul anything other than fluffy cushions.

Scratch on the left was pre-handover, scratch on the right was today the lighest of touches. These are Recaro seats, apparently a quality supplier - so tell me why the quality is so poor or the specification was so low for the load space of a commercial vehicle?

I'll take Swallow shit any day of the week - fecking pigeons - they seem to have had some form of H block protest on the back of mine:

Isn't that a question for your Doctor?
