Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.
I remember a few years back during the break in ITV's F1 coverage seeing this advert and wanting that car so baddly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyMupYzVMhM
I later found out just how bad Jags were and settled with downloading the song.
And while searching for that youtube i discovered this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfFRQ-StpwA
This young lady seems to have fixed her jag at the roadside before.

I see Jaguar's S-type R in Canada for $20,000 with low kms..very surprised on how low it has gotten..is the reliability that bad..because I remember seeing alot of good reviews on the R type and even winning reviews in the english magazine CAR.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
promotional video, about the team's aerodynamics efforts. There's also a SpeedTV article that relates to the video. Basic and superficial stuff, but perhaps worth a couple of minutes anyway.
A bit off topic but new JAGs are just a mondeo floor pan with a prancing jaguar on the front, maybe leather seats and wood etc but it will never handle
I always felt that the new jags are just not it, there is something missing with every single car under ford, you know what I mean? With the old XK never really sure about looks, a bit of aston here and a bit of e-type there. Than the saloons just don't have that cosy jaguar feel anymore + they did go a long way downmarket with the X-type which might have hurt the brand image a bit.
A bit off topic too, but -in my humble opinion- everything under Ford has a tendence to suck.... at least the models sold here in SA.
Fords where really good cars in the 70´s .... then.... cri cri cri
