That Jaguar diff is still the best ever fabricated... the cornering 'catch-up' is phenomenal.

Sorry about typo Inchcape.

Read this atricle about possible Opel return. https://www.caradvice.com.au/724868/opel-australia-return/

sorry MD.  My issue was I didn't know what  'inchape'  was.   I hadn't heard the news.

 

I would like to see Australia buy  'Holden'  back,  from GM.

And kickstart our manufacturing again...  even if only at developmental and design stages, at this point.

If  'Holden'  is home here...  than we can restart, and also expand laterally into other areas, like farm machinery, aeronautics, etc.

The F1 team was bought out by Red Bull, so they had part of it right  still use the same factory  

Probably never put in the top $$$’s

but Tom Walkinshaw had huge success

Ever seen inside a Jaguar Dashboard from the 80’s with the top off?

Scary Stuff :)

A mate had an XJ6 for years, she was beautiful to ride in, but a nightmare if the electrics went dodgy!!

 

Mechanically...Jags were brilliant bits of rolling engineering. Just the electrics were rubbish...and a few problems with things...well....falling off !! lol

The V12 was a sweet thing...just thirstier than an Elephant !!

Got to drive an XJC for a little while. Left the bozos in their tricked up Sandman for dead ???

Glad I didn't pay to fill the tank ;)

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.

In my mates Cat, it was always a classic at the Service Station if we could fill both tanks at the same time!

Could see a few jumpers sold this year ;)

Any idea when they might be available? It’s a must buy for me as the Jag logo has always looked sweet, and on the back of our beloved jumper it looks even more so! Club shop doesn’t display the reverse side of the jumper.

In 1969 friends of the family pulled up in the driveway in this brand new car. 

I was 6 years old, and had not seen one before. 

It looked stunning inside and out

The original Dashboard with the row of Rocker Switches across is still in my memory. 

The 4.2 Litre XJ6 looked like a cat, long and low. 

Going for a ride up the street i can still remember. 

“What kind of car is this dad?”

”A Jaguar”

i knew about Jaguar. I had a Corgi E Type

but this was a real Jaguar. 

A design, like the Porsche 911 was used for almost 30 years. 

The Big Cat

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
