Jaguar: the classic British sports coupe, driven by men licensed to kill… as well as brow-less, gender-queer humanoids with blue eyeshadow dressed in pink latex bodysuits! What could possibly go wrong?

Sweet Mother of Chrome, that thumbnail looks like a rogue’s gallery of escapees from an asylum.
MY EYES! MY BEAUTIFUL EYES! The commercial, it BURNS!!
To go from Tom Hiddleston and “It’s good to be bad” to this drek. It boggles the mind.
I agree with Bill in theory, but the other posters are right. Bond wasn’t a Jag man.
I’d go with Tom H, Mark Strong, Jason Statham, Henry Cavill, Taron Egerton, etc., and leave the other details as-is.
And. I’ll admit to being slow sometimes, but: Jaguar tanks?
Hand-painted pin stripes on the turret? Leather-wrapped steering handles and fine wood detailed weapons consoles! Do they mount the ‘Spirit of Ecstacy” on the muzzle end of the cannon? Is there a fold out footrest on the Commander’s chair?
What’s the zero-to-sixty time?
Pedantic smart-asses want to know!!
Mid-90s I was talked into buying a new car. (My previous two cars I bought used and kept 14 years.). It had been a good year for my investments, so I got a Jaguar XJR. It was beautiful and amazing. I kept it 11 years and it succumbed to electrical issues, a very common way for them to die.
Oh…and…my first car was a 1972 Triumph Spitfire mark III. I brought in to work to show off to my friends. My boss walked up and looked at the instrument panel, then slowly shook his head, looked back at me and said “I’m sorry. Electronics by Lucas….Prince of Darkness”. He was right….car spent more time in pieces then driving down the open highway.
Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas makes refrigerators!
I had to sell that Beautiful Red Triumph Spitfire not because I hated working on it, but the Parts Dealers said that in a year (back then) they’d be out of parts. Sad to see it go! (USA Plates of course!)
Sweet ride! I had a friend in high school who had a Triumph TR7 (this was in the 1980s). He was always blowing up the engine. I think it spent more time in the shop than it did on the road. I think I drove it once.
Anyway, I got the above joke from him.
I honestly thought Jag was going to begin making military tanks….. This Right Angle may be in my top 2 of most entertaining of any of the thousands of shows you three have made. Nostalgic too. THIS had all the markers of Classic Vodkapundit “the Week in Blogs” and “Steve Green’s Hair of the Dog”. Damn the 3 of you were vintage Snark-Shooters on this one. The 2 Ott Zingers you could see coming from at least 10 miles away…and I still cheered when he delivered that line about the charging stations 2 plugs. Well done, all 3 of you!… Read more »
LOL the squared preview says “agua tanks.” Water you talking about? XD
Both ends of the plug… Good one, Scott.
Jerks Are Giving Unasked Advice Regularly Just Another Gearbox Under Annual Repair Jesus! Another Ghastly, Unbelievably Annoying Repair Steve McQueen drove a XK-SS avoiding speeding ticket w/pregnant wife. Jackie Stewart drove a E-Type. Jay Leno shared a XK 120 Roadster for 2014 Mille Miglia. Austin Powers drove a XK8 convertible in Goldmember and a 61’E-TYPE in International Man of Mystery (1997). George Harrison had accident driving E-type on way to Brighton concert. When I think Bond, I think Aston Martins, but there were others … Sunbeam Alpine – 1st sports car (Dr. No) – cute but under powered Toyota 2000 GT – yummy… Read more »
