Factory spec Grenadier wins Alcan 5000 Arctic Rally

[dvs_dave]

Seems like a pretty impressive achievement. First outing as a privateer in factory spec and it wins an extreme conditions endurance rally. Seems it does genuinely walk the walk, which is great to see.

Good news. I really like the Grenadier and have posted on here previously. . I didn’t subscribe to the “how much? “ rhetoric when it came to the market at nearer 70k all in, rather than the original expected 50k, for the simple reason that prices have generally gone mad, both here and in NE America.

I know everyone's reaching for good news about the Anus Grenade, but given the entry list is it that surprising?

In a truck class against a field of hopped up F150 Raptors, RAM’s, GMC’s, disco’s, and the like, and it still being the overall winner, not just in its class, and being completely factory spec, it’s a great result.

But hey ho, naysayers are gonna naysay.

But, but, but

Brexit
It’s not made in England
Something about Manchester United
It’s not a Waitrose Warrior
Brexit
I don’t need a vehicle like this so it must be st
I don’t like the looks of it so everyone else’s opinion is wrong
It’s the same price as a Defender so far too expensive
I’m 5’5” so the foot rest is too high
Brexit
It’s as thirsty as a Defender so far too thirsty
I live in the burbs so nobody needs a real 4x4
I don’t like choice in the marketplace
Brexit

Waaaaaahhhh
