The Jags are probably victims to english humor. For some reason. That is beyond comprehension to me Mercedes or BMW get highest respect anywhere in the world. Yet, when I drove longer distances the cars I saw having a breakdown matched a Merc-VW-BMW-VW-Merc-VW-BMW.. scheme. With BMW smoking from their bonnet rather often.Obviousman wrote:I always found the two-door version of that very good looking!

Just like you had to have two: One to break down in the garage and one to drive

What's with making cars more "aerodynamic" ferfuckssake - they're not going to be going fast enough to make a blind bit of difference...
They keep getting rounder and rounder - soon we're all going to be rolling along in balls.

The most beautyfull thing on a Beetle Chassis ever built!
currently got a '66 LWB ex MOD ambulance converted to pick up and the off roading is the second most fun with your clothes on, the first mys be riding a motorbike in the Scottish Highlands!streamline wrote:First car was a Vauxhall Nova,
Best car was a 1964 Series IIA SWB Landrover which I lovingly painted with NATO green matt paint (using a brush) and then proceeded to use as an everyday car during the week, off road on a Saturday (which is the most fun you can have under 10 miles an hour) and then spend EVERY Sunday repairing her so I could go to work on Monday! (Honorable battle scars are one thing - snapped halfshafts are something else)
God I loved her!!
I really hated my mate who can go through life saying that his Landy was his first car
