Re: Pic of my new winter beater
I am not a fan of British cars, too much prone to failures, especially their electrical system. The old Range Rover 70's to 90's had electrical and fuel line problems.
The newer Range, 90's to 2001 had suspension/elevation probs... The Jags also had the electical wiring nightmare... we used to own an old one back in the days. I was small, I remember once my dad stopping like crazy on the road side, a lot of smoke from under the hood, then fire, then extinguisher, then tow car, garage/repair, immediate SALE They still have electrical glitches to date... (my ex company was the dealer of Rolls, Range and Jag in Qatar).

Car was somewhat local. Got it from Fred Beans Caddie in Doylestown where they had it listed on their lot for $11k. MMR on the car is $200 less then what I paid.

Re: Pic of my new winter beater
Don't forget this is essentially a Ford product now. Sure lots of British design, but Ford engineering and quality. Do a bit of research on quality BEFORE Ford took over.

Ford did do a lot regarding the quality control and modernizing of Jag though... Then sold it off for a loss.

Re: Pic of my new winter beater
Driving in the snow its a whole lot more than Subarus 90-10 or 50-50 set up. Easier to get the rear end to play as it is 65 rear bias. Because of it there isn't that subaru like confidence (or maybe it will just take more than a couple miles of driving). Definately fun to be able to drive it straight nearly sideways for a couple hundred feet though
