Default Featured in Jaguar World Monthly...

Well, I'm happy to say that my kitty has been featured with an article in the section "Your Jaguar" in the current (March) issue of Jaguar World Monthly.

Unfortunately, there's a little problem with the article as there was a misunderstanding in regards to something so important and obvious as the engine is and they, somehow, titled it "Reinaldo's 1994 XJS V12 Convertible". I just thought that some XJS owner in this forum is likely to read the article, sooner or later, and is going to wonder why I told JWM about my kitty being a V12, knowing that is not the case.

Of course, most XJS fellows in this forum already know that my '94 is an AJ6 car and, although I never specifically stated in the text that "it is a six or a 12" there are obvious hints at what's under the hood, such as "the power increase over the stock AJ6 engine's 219 bhp...", etc. I believe what happened is that JWM just assumed that it was a V12 car. Personally, it doesn't make it a better or worse car, as both are nice power plants, only that knowing that "it ain't so" doesn't feel right. Yes, they know.


Cheers,

You can always depend on a journalist to get the facts wrong.

Here's the article with thanks to JWM

Thanks to all. Thanks, Norri, for posting the site's short version. Had no idea, first, how to do it and, second, about JWM's position in regards to posting their article in our Forum.

The mag's version has about a third more text and six pictures, however, most of those pics are posted here, in my garage.

Cheers,
