Ok, so being a relatively small forum I'm sure some of you have noticed me posting a bit. I'm Chad, 2nd-year student at UC San Diego. Originally from the Bay Area, which IMHO is the absolute best area of this country. SD is nice, but just not the same. And the good driving roads.....hardly any here!

Anyway, that's not the important part. Formerly a BMW owner, I just sold my 1998 540i. 4.4L V-8, 6-spd. Previously had a 95 325is that was very well modded. Miss that car dearly. Also, a 91 Supra Turbo, targa, 5spd manual, every option. Miss that one too

Currently, I own a 1982 Kawasaki Spectre 750. Naked bike, good fun. Not too powerful, but quick enough to be dangerous
Just picked up a 2001 Jag XJ-R on Saturday. Titanium over Charcoal. It's my first time owning an auto.....wish me luck. Hopefully I can cope with having the little gremlin in my gearbox doing the shifting for me. My left foot is getting a bit bored...

Cerberus - that leaper on the bonnet makes the car. I wish they would allow us to legally put them back on our bonnets (thats hoods to you lot).

 

Welcome. We appreciate all the helpful posts!

Twojags, we send lots of leapers over to the UK.

Welcome to the forums

 

They must be using them as paperweights then Ken.

Its very rare you see any on Jaguars now, which is a shame, I love them.

In fact I have leapers everywhere except on the bonnet. [&:] I have them on my keyrings, bottle openers, on mugs, on place mats, on towels, on various tops but not on the most important thing, the Jag!

 

Then you need the leaper corkscrew:
