INEOS GRENADIER

We've turned crimson, just like our 4x4. Here's why
-
MILEAGE 10,790 WHY WE'RE RUNNING IT To see if the spirit of the classic Land Rover Defender really does live on here.
The Ineos Grenadier has slotted into my daily life as easily as its flat sides and large mirrors help it slot into tighter parking spaces, as seen below in one of Gatwick airport's short-term car parks.
The Grenadier's turning circle is large and it is quite a big car, so I was very pleased that with minimal shuffling I eased it gracefully into an end-of-row bay - my favourite kind - before going on my merry travels.
I returned and took this picture, because I was so happy about how little space I'd left between the car and the barrier, and drove home.
Imagine my surprise when, a few days later, the good people at Ineos informed me that they'd been sent a parking penalty charge notice by NCP, this car park's operator, and asked if I could please sort it out.

Spare a thought for poor Chris Mies, the man who had assorted pieces of kangaroo hurtle through the windscreen of his Mustang GT3 at the recent Bathurst 12 Hours. The German driver's overalls and helmet, never mind the destroyed front end of his car, were covered in viscera. In the murky morning light of the pits he looked like he had stepped off a medieval battlefield. He had vomited trackside after the lap-three incident and later told an interviewer that even two showers hadn't fully removed the stink of the animal from his nostrils.
