    Grenadier

    Saw my first Grenadier yesterday, going opposite direction through the mountains. Just a glance, but looked good. I'll have to check them out at the dealer soon.

    Has anyone been to the dealer in Portland? I'm thinking I'll visit if I can.

    AI Challenge

    Yeah, it really doesn't do text very well, or people -- but it is getting much better at that when you ask for a drawing. However, happily, SpongeBob is a fairly easy render. On the other hand, when it sometimes tries to integrate Patrick, nightmares occur. Also, Defenders work very well, but...

    AI Challenge

    This tips it over the edge for me. AI is officially disturbing now.

    AI Challenge

    I've experimented a bit in the past, but nothing great came of it. However, after 30 seconds of anticipation, I have to say that AI image generation is getting pretty good. Prompt: A classic Land Rover Defender 110, red in color, with a Christmas tree strapped down to its roof, rolling through...

    Grenadier

    I have heard that the 3-4 years of first imports to the USA were iffy with the computer systems. Mine is a 1998. Anything after say 2008 seems to get good reviews, but there's something about that 1990s MB vibe on the dash that I like.

    That, and is it just me, or is there a new wave of stupidity where people are just driving around in daylight with their brights on?

    Grenadier

    I have only a V6 on my G320 Puch, a great engine, but only about the same performance as a '90s Rover. So I don't worry about a lift or big tires. I'm running 235s without any rubbing. It does not have as much flex as a stock Rover, but the three lockers are great. The overall build quality is...

    I'm really looking forward to hearing from you guys who are getting one soon. MPG, and real comparison to the Defender from people who really drive Defenders would be good.

    Armored RRC

    Yes please. This would be rad. I mean, 8 mpg type of rad, but pretty rad. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/armored-range-rovers-with-nuclear-past-just-auctioned-off

    3hp might get me up my hill without a gear change....

    Which Would You Sell?

    Personally, I kind of like the Cyclones on the DI, and the Boost on the Defender. But only barely. So I let the kids decide and we are keeping the original Boosts. I'll have a stack of four Cyclones for some time, in case anyone is sore about missing out on Peter's deal, but at least (including...

    Which Would You Sell?

    I should clarify: I've got these two sets, I need new tires for the '98 Disco, which had the Boosts on them from factory, but I kind of like the Cyclones better. So I'm actually asking more like: Which would actually sell better than the other? to help make my decision.

    Which Would You Sell?

    I've got a set of Cyclone wheels, and a set of Boost wheels, which would you sell?
