My salesman said if I fed it right and took good care of it, my Mini Cooper S would grow up to become a full sized Jaguar one day, and he was right!!
It only took a steady diet of premium fuel, regular oil changes,and weekly bathes and waxes. Oh and I guess the final meal of a check with a few(several) zero's) attached helped.
This morning, there in my garage, instead of my cute little red Mini Cooper S, resides a rather mean looking British Green Jag, just waiting to terrorize the locals.
I have been following this forum for quite a while and hopefully have learned quite a bit from the members as to what and how about the ins and outs of the Jag. I look forward to learning more, and eventually contributing in a small way. As I have said in the past, anyone in or coming into the S.W. Fla. area, give a yell. I know where the best rum runners are, and the former Mini, now Jag is always looking to compare notes.

Congratulations on the metamorphosis. Enjoy.

 

Who knew??? That is AWESOME Sam! Congrats and please post photos! I will visit for Rum!
Beware of the permanent s%!t eating grin that will now be present on you face... It's ALL good!
Cheers!

 

I didn't have the heart to show SPUD ('02 JCW) to the curb.

 

Hah! I have the F-Type R; my wife has a Mini Cooper S!

Both are tuned for extra hp of course.

Both great cars.

 

Congratulations! We will need more details on how much it grew (what Model) and other details.

 

Still having to explain to my wife, she LOVED the Mini, but the garage would only hold 3 cars. Of course in a town where the average age is 93, I am not about to take the Jag to the local supermart parking lot (Publix). Had to get a 'town' car. Hit up my buddy at the service station for a beater. He had a one owner '89 Caddy Allante' that had been well used, not taken care off due to older owner. Needed a lot of work, but just what I needed for the unsafe parking lots.
For the record, British Racing Green, Brogue/Jet interior AWD S. Vision/Leather Package, Coup. Pix when I can get computer savvy enough.
My son, the computer system engineer, welcomed me into the 20th century when I got a smart phone, he said I will never make the 21st.
Looking forward to learning more thru this form.
