I don't understand. Rick was simply pointing out that 'Booty' means the results of spoil and pillage - gold dubloons etc.- usually obtained by Piracy of the naval/cannon firing sort which the Brits were very good at.
In the interests of seasonal goodwill I won't dwell on the singular lack of US competence in this area.

while 'boot' is the proper name for a compartment with a door in the rear of a stagecoach and, hence, car.
Here endeth !!!

Hey guys - sorry I've been a bit absent lately. I still check in from time to time and i've been talking to a couple of guys via PM about getting another set of wheels but haven't really been posting much. Spending way too much time working on actual work and not messing around like i should! ![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I've been spending a lot of my free time working on my 2 Jeeps - getting lifts installed, skid plates, etc, so the STR has been kinda neglected. I did put it up for the winter a couple weeks ago.
Hopefully i can get my projects sorted out and get a little more active on the board again here shortly.
Happy Holidays everyone!

No worries about any hijacking, guys. This is definitely one of those stream-of-conciousness threads....
And no one here who remembers Daniel Satur and his wacky repair advice misses him. That guy was a real piece of work. I remember wondering if he was spouting off just to jerk the moderators' chains, but I think he was completely serious the majority of the time....

Mike, perhaps you may recall this: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/o...setting-47323/ back a couple of years ago (my entry is post #77). Anyways it was coincidental that we had gotten snow. I pulled Joyces Jag out of its nice cozy resting place and snapped a few shots, the wreath was just for the compettition. The first and last time it has been in snow. I actually got stuck driving her back up our driveway.

I thought of that pic ^ Mike as I was posting mine. Also the snow beer fridge that you posted awhile back too.

Oh and Steve thank you for helping me clarify the booty, although I have another picture of bounty (booty) in a trunk, I believe that I would have to give myself a 3 day ban and 2 infractions.

All is well with the car other than little nuisance problems that appear on a regular basis. Most recent is that the car wont start. Battery? Charged battery overnight, started the next day, then the following day wouldn't crank again. Beginning to wonder if a battery cable is corroded somewhere. Also have been getting a DCS error when I start the car. I turn it off and start it again and it clears. Something electrical has a problem. I just haven't had the time to troubleshoot.

I miss her too. Especially now that I'm single. I heard that vance580 guy is very sad about selling his STR but still lurks here like a troll. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I'm still in my little farm house Jon89 so if you need anything shoot me a pm and I still wrench. Now I just mainly wrench on my bikes since I ride them more then driving. I picked me up a nice little truck that I drive when I have too and it's nice to have to carry bikes around. Already had to use it a few times for some friend's bikes.
I will return once I'm done with school and start working again. I've been eyeballing XFR's though so I may not return with an STR. For anyone that I talked to and knew about me going to school, I got into NC State last month and have been busy getting everything situated over there. This means I am halfway towards my Bachelors. I got my Associattes a few weeks ago and finished with a 3.95 GPA. Not bad for a 32 year old college kid after being out of school for 12 years and going through a divorce. Ended up getting 2 B's my last semester the rest were A's so I'm not complaining. Should hopefully be done with my Bachelors in 2 years and hopefully it will go just as quickly as the first 2. Then once I get back to work the Jag hunt will begin.

Jon,
I pm'd those guys about the hoodliner giveaway a month ago. I only received a reply from Chris X, he still has his STR and its put up for the winter, he also stated that he has been really slammed at work lately.
As far as Jim (bodyman) I did not get a reply. I don't believe his wife Laurie would ever allow Jim to sell her baby, I hope they are both well.
I even hit Rob (spitfire) on the PM, no response from him as well. As crazy as he was about his S Type I couldn't imagine that he sold his either. I do know that he tried starting a new Jaguar forum about a year and half ago. I saw the outline of it and it was really sharp, I just don't know what happened. Rob and his wife were suppose to stop by on their way back Fl. trip 2 years ago but it was in the very late night and we couldn't make the meet.
Four years is coming up for Jon this Feb., hard to believe, man time flies. We are still very much satisfied with the ownership. Although have been keeping my eyes open for a new marque, but nothing yet. Joyce does not want a new vehicle period, she still gets all the oohs and ahhs, I think she likes that fact.

Good to see you here, Chris. Glad to know that you still check in with us from time to time since I know you're primarily a bike guy now. And thanks for the offer to assist with any Jaguar issues that might come up. My S-Type has been rock-solid for a couple of years now. My wife's XK8 seems to throw various issues at me every month or so. I've been able to handle them all thus far with the assistance of several key guys in the XK8 section. Man, that is one quirky car. If you think the electronics in our S-Types are problematic, you should try an XK8. It is insane....
Congrats on your admittance to N.C. State (my alma mater). Go Pack....
