Anyone drive a Jaguar?

@CanadianLori may I ask what it is?

 

1970 'cuda 440/6 original...

 

@CanadianLori You are a woman of impeccable taste....

 

Good grief, how did you ever get it parked with the window glasses totally opaque? Or did rain at home smooth the filth evenly?

When my vehicles get that nasty, I take them to the self serve to power wash (standing back well away so as not to have too high pressure on the surface) then bring them home for a hand wash. The only vehicle I take through an auto wash is the van. And that not very often even though it is just a utility vehicle.

 

Too funny! I was thinking you must be a maniac to drive through all that muck! And I was thinking the wife must be a saint for accompanying you through those types of journeys!

Giggles and smile wrinkles, big time

 

I put my hands up. Over the years I like many motorist learned to maintane the cars owned by me. Mechanics OK. Cleaning and body repairs. No thank you.

Concerning Jags. I agree there is a lot going for them. On the matter of comfort. As previously mentioned. I've had the benefit of owning, driving and travelling in so many makes of cars. I now go back a few years to 1955. What's a few years between friends?

The firm of solicitors I was working for, had the annual dinner & dance at the Hyde Park Hotel in London. Around 0300hrs the next day, it was time to go home. the boss. Sir Thomas Stuart Overy had booked cars to take everyone home, Lands end to John O'gtoats. Cars used. Armstrong Siddley Sapphire Limosines. 7 seaters. To this very day, I claim this was the most comfortable, smoothest and quietest ride I ever experienced. No engine sound, no outside sound. Not certain but I think the gearboxes were preselective. Such a shame these cars are no longer made.

 

Anything like this one Lori ? Owned by Richard Carpenter, from The Carpenters. It really is an immaculate original car.
