Theft of the leaper
ORIGINAL: JimC64
You guys with Leapers on your bonnest ( hoods ) ever thought of designing sumthin, say, connected to the battery but only charged so to speak when the ignition is off?
Runs like a low level current to the leaper so that when anyone touches it they get an electric shock.......maybe Tazer like 50,000 bloody volts


That'd be a nice surprise wouldn't it?

That would be pimp jim! Sorry for your lost one I know that is a cherished thing on my car (the leaper) its funny how many people mess with it! The car wouldn't be the same without it though! I don't find it dated perhaps if it were the lincoln or mercury symbol but the leaping jaguar is sooo much different than your average leaper! It means a lot to me! Reminds me every day that I drive a J-a-g-e-w-a-r!!!
here is mine i have for sale... ive sold plenty new and used with base.. and this custom one.. removable so you just put it in your pocket http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JAGUA...sid=p1638.m118
hey genius you seriously want 175 w/out shipping for it? If they were that much money I'd just get that bonnet emblem/badge that europe has instead of the leaper...it isn't worth nearly 200 bucks for it I can tell you that! I'd just go to a local salvage yard or call them and see what they want...
yeah **** that but I cant bet you all $5000 when I drive my jag to school my jaguar leaper is gonna be gone lol, cause of these ****ing ********. One reason is because of jealously, oh well.

I feel better if I think about it as "someone stole $36 for me" since that's chump change.

correct.
I'm going to affix a large magnet in the base of it so I can simply lift it directly off when I go somewhere. I bought the magnet and the dremel bit tonight. It's one of those "super magnets" that have ten times the strength of the normal ones.
