Jaguar Appreciation Thread

I'm looking into getting one of these as a daily.
Only problem is gas prices around here are $9 a gallon

I love jags, but they all look the same to me. I really want one, especially after watching the TopGear episode on one of them.

I should be ashamed of myself for whoring, but I like this set of pics I took recently

Why would you wanna do this to a Jag?....maybe its a 2003 fad thing

I don't mind it - but I was buying Performance VW mags with crap like this in the 1990's and ate it up.

Interior shots, just because I've done so much work lately:

2003.5 S-Types got the better trannies but there are still issues. Mine has the lurch which is kinda annoying.

I've had both BMW (01 540i/6) and now a Jag (03 STR) and there are pros and cons to both.


The 4.0s sucked major, as did the 5 speed autobox. The 4.2 is a much better motor along with the 6speed autobox. Of course the best is when you get it supercharged, but I am a bit bias.

I don't recall saying bmws were of questionable quality. x and s types are known to have crap transmissions and awd systems. they use the same components (jatco) as vw, but the rear bias makes them even weaker. 2004 and newer received some updates and are supposedly better. I guess I'll find out.
