Neither one of them will ever say anything about "...he's got a Jaaaaaaaaag" ever again.
After that video, I'm pretty sure the appropriate way to pronounce it now is "Fagg-ot-wire".
There used to be an engineering professor at CalPoly that based most of his coursework on the Jag I6. Unfortunately he was retired before I got there. Owner of XK’s Unlimited was able to take his courses though. It’s what got him into restoring vintage jags & vintage racing (races a really quick E Type).For reference, Jag is the same brand that made the Mk II:
The F-Type:
And one of the best-looking cars of all time, the E-Type:
Wife is always like “Why do you say Jag-you-are and Jew-cat-e instead of saying them the normal way?” I just tell her she wouldn’t understand if I explained it.
Most of the ones I see locally are the old XJS models. Occasionally run across an XK-E in random places , usually attired in British Racing Green, but once in a while a different color. Never driven one either. My sole experience in exotic cars was when a dude rolled up at the service station I worked at as a teenager in a Pantera. I was so agog that he ran me around the block in it just so I could say that I’d ridden in one.
That was stupid and doesn't fit the thread in any way.
Sounds awesome.
