Default Not a fan!

Came across this in a parking lot today. Can't say I am a fan on an XK. Like the leaper on an XJ.

Not a fan either. Might be a little better if they would have mounted it to one side and disguised it as a pitot tube...or a refueling probe.

All I can say to that is, it should be removed and firmly inserted where the sun don't shine on the guy that did it.

Ridiculous, but it is his car after all.

Maybe he should have it removed from the car and reinstalled on his forehead.

This pretty much expresses how I feel about that leaper installation.

I had one on my XJ and loved it. I parked the xj in downtown Houston one night and some one stole the hood ornament. It is probably around some rappers neck somewhere. But why miss up the beautiful lines on the xk is something I can't figure out. To put it in medical term " insert it rectally stat" .

The first XK we bought that was totaled had the leaper installed by the previous owner. Don't care what you yahoo's say, it was a magnificent piece of jewelry on the front of that car!!! If anyone had tried to modify my rectum with this ornament they would have found themselves in a bad state. I jest, seriously, I understand how subjective such things are and could care less what anyone else's opinion would be.

My wife has always joked about owning a Jag someday, so last fall when I took her to see the XK that was for sale, her very first remark was "Where is the Cat on the hood"
Got a good laugh out of it, bought the XK, but skipped the hood ornament.
She loves to ride in it, but when I suggest she take it to the store now and then she say's." A Jaguar convertible is not the type of car a 73 year old lady drives, specially with the sound it makes"
