Enjoyed that... looks serious too.
It's possible greatest asset is the new Land Rover Defender making the vehicles that stand in this group very small. 'it's up to you to go and make it your own'... 
Good luck to them...(still don't like the name  ) SKIP

Jah, nee, he's a Saffer (with British nationality as well). You can tell from his bio, and of course, from his accent. He used to live in the next town over from me. -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

The only reason I thought to say he was a Brit was because I think he had a bit of a rant in one of videos over someone assuming he was from South African. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

Ok, I may be wrong on his ZA nationality, he might have been a Permanent Resident only.
I see he lists his Hometown as Kent, where he was born. -- 2010 Defender Puma 90 + BAS remap + Alive IC + Slickshift + Ashcroft ATB rear 2015 Range Rover Sport V8 Supercharged

I like his reviews and honesty and it was good to see his thought process on the Grenadier until you get near the end and realise knits a sales pitch for him to test one.... Cheers

^^^ My thoughts too James. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I perceive Australia as a “macho” market in which a “macho” product such as the Grenadier would sell well. ASPW’s pitch is for an extended expedition rather than the more usual day/few day test. I suspect he’ll be not just asking for a vehicle, but for the whole expedition to be funded by Ineos and then there’s the question of his fee! I like his videos. Good luck to him I say.
And if he’s based in ZA rather than Oz, same applies  |

He may want support/payment from Ineos, but usually he doesn't ass lick, nor "say things are good" even if they've been donated to him, he tells it like it is.
I hope he gets one and gives a truthful impression of it. I'd like to think that Mark Evans would also, but I feel he's a bit over excited about it and probably biased. |

I watch most of his videos, but he doesn't do himself any favours at times. |
