Jaguars

[Mozart]

Aren't Jaguars the most gorgeous and interesting animals on earth? They deserve their own thread.

[Mozart]

Look at their ice cream licking potential!

[Mozart]

Ahh, how emotional this one is!

What is the difference between Jaguars and Leopards

Only 40 left of these on earth

What is the difference between Jaguars and Leopards 

Scientifically? Leopards suck and Jaguars rock!The spots are different. The Jaguars is a south american cat, and a God to ancient cultures. They are savage killers, they bite their preys skulls. Plus they kill big ass snakes. Plus Jaguars are sexy and Leopards just aren't.

Hey man, this is a Jaguar thread!

Hey man, this is a Jaguar thread!

Bear with them just a little bit more, soon they are gone

Jaguars are the only cats that should be allowed to live! Yet, they face the same struggles...

Nope. Panda supersedes it.

[Kullervo]

Most felines are gorgeous -- they have such expressive eyes.

[Mozart]

Pandas look like blow up doll Geishas.

I drove a Jaguar XJ6 from NY to Las Vegas in 7 days, then dragged the strip for further year

That must have been an early model XJ6.  I used to drive a late-model Sovereign - basically an XJ6 with all the options - which was a great car but for the total lack of headroom:  even someone my size, I more or less had to lie back with my head on the parcel shelf to fit.

The later models were rubbish.

Enjoy.

Personally, the Aston Martin DB9 is the car des nos jours and not owned by a crap organisation like Ford.

It was my grandmother's 1990 XJ6, the one with the round headlights and model Jag leaping off the bonnet. Some time in the mid '90s it ended up in my uncle's possession, way over in NY, and by the time I got there in '98 the poor thing was already saying its last goodbyes. That didn't stop me from getting it up to 150mph on the Kansas flats, asthma and all, but on the way back from CA through Colorado, on the Rocky steeps, the break pads had worn out so the metal was grinding (presuming it's that, not a mechanic here) and I was pumping at 90mph down a steep decline with traffic in front of me. Of course my uncle, tanked to the gills with a rock-gut vodka bottle in hand (and a spare in the right-side, tanned leather, lower-door compartment), hardly noticed a thing and just kept singing through his spitting and enjoying the blurry sights. That's when we flew from Denver to here y'know, after I quite craftily sold off the car to an unsuspecting eager-beaver of a used car salesman whose brother got hitched on the day and the lad quite euphorically thought he had just scooped a steal on an otherwise decent-looking British-racing-green XJ6. Had he been a more melancholy fellow without the confusion of all that fraternal bonding nonsense, he would have saved himself--and probably his job--of the shock of getting into the car (after we had left) and discovering that the breaks no longer worked and the gearbox was completely shot so that it took two hands and a certain deftness to manoeuvre the stick down from P to D1.  I can't recall how much we got from him at the time, but it was certainly enough for my uncle to buy more rock-gut on the way out.

Oh I solved that quickly: head out the sunroof
