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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
