What did you do with your Grenadier today?

[ECrider]

Went racing and also found that the Buzz lightyear hinges take not only a tumbler of wine but also a pint!

In anticipation of the imminent deliveries, what did you do with your Grenadier this weekend?

Tell the community and share the love, and pictures, lots of pictures.

This thread will remain locked until the first member tells me they have taken delivery.

Not the big kid!

You get it salty though!
Can always spot the guys who launch boats , live near the sea or get sand in their cracks!

Nope, I’ve had the car 6 months and first time it’s been near the beach was this month.
The black coating?? seemed to rub off wherever the trailer coupling touched it the first time I put a trailer on it 4 months ago. That is now rusted. Probably just surface rust, but it’s the first time I’ve had that happen to a towball.

The shiny ones are chromed, but use it enough and it chips off and rusts. But I see online you can upgrade to stainless chinesium for about 100 bucks

That towball looks so different than the one ia sells in North America. I've used mine a couple of times but I have none of the rust or issues you have.
