New? Or have i just missed it. 

I don’t watch TV at home much now, particularly when the footy is not on

Agreed. Both better than Defenders of the Earth but that’s up there for me too.

The original series ran from 1985 to 1988, produced by Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment.

I'm not sure if the series is currently shown in Australia.

Wow! I was studying TV Production in 1985 and we kept a very close eye on what was showing. 

I doubt it ran in Australia then, Japanese artists?

i just watched the intro. It looks a bit Prince Planet and Gigantor in drawing style

I originally posted Voltron but that’s top 4 four mine, had forgotten about Defenders of the Earth.

Do you mean Looney Tunes? I bet you call social media, "The Facebooks".

Yes Loony Tunes. But they were always referred to as Warner Bros as opposed to Disney Cartoons, which were good, but Warner Bros were no 1.

Brilliant imagery...and is that a Demonic glint in the big Cat's eye

I have it on good authority, that should we be this year's premiers, they will change their name to FLAGUAR until the end of 2019!

About time some prestige was added to the jumper. We are a sleeping giant, with a small (comparative to the big clubs) support base, albeit a base that has a high purchase intent and attendance rate. This makes us exclusive. And will no doubt help in appealing to inner-city Chinese students and expats.

I wonder how much of Jaguar's decision is about broad exposure to the masses through TV and how much is about access to the MFC database of members to allow for targeted marketing? I suspect in this instance the latter might have been significant in the decision.

Super happy about the sponsor. My dad had the W12 saloon with fabric roof (Daimler), I still remember going to Snowy Mountains for a summer holiday with a little 3 cyl Suzuki 4WD, a Honda moto bike on the trailer, and my 2 brothers plus camping gear blasting along at 140km/h listening to Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson on the cassette player, was epic. My uncle had the E type until the rear axle broke off. I have had a life long love of Jags ever since. Dad had the car until I was 18/19 and I got to drive it, including at speed, you really could see the fuel gauge move.

Were the Daimler’s exactly the same apart from badges and options?

Yes it had the Jag 5.3lt 300hp engine, was released as the double six, Daimler was a UK company bought by Jag in 1960. Basically  aXJ stretch saloon.

I once thought that too, the name is a coincidence, they companies were not connected.

Correction a British engineer bought the rights to the name and motor design but afterwards was always a english company.
