> Actually, your problem is in the pronoun. You said "a Jaguar".
Many years ago my father told me he was thinking of buying a Jaguar. I actually told him to buy two. "What for?" "One to drive while the other is in the shop being repaired!" Before Ford got into Jaguar their electrical systems were horrible (Lucas). It took ford a while to turn the electrical system around, and now they are quite reliable. But the "Jagaurus" (Jaguar and Ford Taurus design cross-breeding attempt) is truly an unusual looking beast). On the other hand, my father did end up getting an XJ-8 (extended length chassis) in 2001. It was a terrific automobile to cut around in while visiting SoCal. He now has a Lexus for me to cut around in while visiting them in LA. I like the Lexus, but truly miss the XJ-8 with its classical True Jaguar styling and awesome performance. It was totaled when a 16 year old driver, first day with his license, plowed into the Jag's back end at 45mph with a late 70's Chevrolet Impala (land based tuna trawler). The Jag did its job protecting my parents by folding up exactly where it was designed to in an effort to reduce the impact's energy being sent fully into my parents' bodies - but was destroyed in the process. Shame, but I appreciate the excellent protective frame and body design put into the Jag. See ftp://gilhale.dnsalias.com under the "_JaguarGetsSmacked" directory for some pictures a nearby person took after the Chevy was dragged away. Oh, the problem with the driver not being able to get started, Allen is correct. It is the oxygen to beer ratio. If you have a Jagaurus I apologize for being so hard on their design. They are likely fine cars. But that is evidence of a oxygen to beer ratio problem unto itself, too much beer. If it is the more classic Jaguar design, then you need more oxygen than beer.
