REVIEW: MINIMAX INEOS Grenadier (Dealer Edition)

“Ineos Grenadier? Never heard of it!” is at least what I thought when I first came across it just weeks ago. It looks familiar, though, and immediately makes you think “Land Rover Defender”, doesn´t it? And it puts you on the right (offroad) track leading back to its origins: Back in 2016 Land Rover stopped making the good-ole Defender (the Continue Reading...
