Default Double trouble 72 & 73


This red 72 followed me home - so I must choose between them, as 1 will become a donor and 1 will become a driver. Nobody ever said life would be easy !

Followed you home, eh?
A likely story.......

They both look pretty good from here, I see worse examples on the streets.

A variation of "pretty lass, I see you are taken, but do you have a sister/"


At about age 18,son pulled the "followed me home" tale, at least twice.
Once, a whippet like female dog. Got a home, named "Coke". No reason??? Next a male Pit Bull !!!! Named Macho!!! I suspect he was "liberated" from the fate of an over the hill fighter. he spent the rest of his days here. Actually a great dog. Powerful beyond description.
OK with most critters, but not with other male dogs.

Early X6s are the most beautiful and rare. Why not keep one and sell the other to a Jag lover. I would love to find a nice pre smog car with a four speed!

Wow ! Thanks, everyone ! Perhaps you're right - what's wrong with a single guy having 4 cars (3 of them Jaguars) ? It gives me great purpose during retirement, just keeping up with them. Merry Christmas, all !

Only 3 of your 4 cars are Jaguars because you need a reliable one to go for parts!

You certainly don't have anyone telling you, "It's either those Jags or me! And I want a new Lexus!"

Yup. Lexus is merely a "fancy" name for a fancied up, guess what? a mere Toyota?


Yeah, I do the "pair" thing. Two old cars, each dependant on the other. But, after the
Jaguar's "starter" ills that tuned out to be not the starter at all, but the ignition switch, it has been fine.


Although kinda like Elinor's NIX, it rests in the garage during our recent inclement weather. Although, it was bred and born in similar weather, the Jeep does it better???


I would delight in a pair of pre 83 cars. No CA SMOG tests. Inconvenient and a huge boondogle.
