Any car nuts out there?

[Cam]

I just bought a '64 Jag Mk10. Does that count?

"Jaguar - for people who want young women they don't know to give them hand jobs" - (can't remeber the movie title - Cuckue's nest type)

They reckon the only happy Jag owner is the one that owns two. . . so they've got something to drive whilst the other is being fixed

. . . I should know, I've owned two



Had a beautiful Series 1 - loved it 4.2 twin SU's - handled like ti twas on rails. (often just stopped for no reason at all??) - was too young to inexperienced to work it all out.

Later bought a Series 2 Daimler double 6 - white with full fibreglass body kit, powered by a chev 400. - absolute "Piece of shit" - was reliable, but the chev motor completely stuffed up the balance and handling of the car. - sold it very diss-illusioned.

Should has persistered with the series 1.

I drive an "indestructable toyota" now - all be it a TRD.

One day I will own a red '66 (ish) mustang

Hey Ward;

I think you've answered your problems mate. One had a Seppo bent 8 in it, (like putting a Harley motor in a Busa) & the other you had when you were young. A Jag shouldn't be owned by a young person, it's destined to be a problem. Stick with a Toyota when you're young & you don't know much about cars & can't afford a decent mechanic.

As for mine, it's a 3.8 with triple SU's. Put's out 200kW in 1964 & Toyota & Holden are bragging about that output now. Plus, it's as reliable as a clock. As I said Cob, you need a good mechanic that know them
