Yup, White Snake. But, for the image of Tawny Kitane, dancing, rolling
across the bonnets f two SJ6 salons!!! Gorgeous then, and in spite of a tough life, still very much a woman...

More thought!!!


"On the Road Again". ***** Nelson and friends.


"Ring of Fire". Johnny Cash.


The beat is important. Volumn as well, but lyrics.


Out in the air. sun coming through. Fresh clean air, very nice.


Oh, h.... Jaguar no fire, just a relay chatter. On with the charger.
13.1 v and 70%. End of the battery, or back under for starter swaps ?


We will see....


Jeep tires a bit low. Fired up the small compress. Campbell Hausfield.
On HF "chassis". Extension out on lumber jack mission. Used it in lieu
of stringing out hose for the big upright.


Whew, very low #'s. Up to 32 PSI.


Option for visit to son and SO for thanksgiving. Looks like Jeep will win out.

carl, good one for Willie, he lives a short distance from me!
see him in the local supermarket every so often, he keeps a low profile !

been to some of his local concerts, always a great show, at his age he is a very special person,(always humble)!

somehow i cant see you liking Whitesnake, such a long generation gap??


here is a thought for you? me and you were liking music BEFORE rock and roll exsisted.

yup, no such word/thing as R&R

Ronbros:


Not White Snake that interested me. Tis was Tawny Kitane rolling across the bonnets of the Jag's.


Whew, I am old. Freeway all the way. I drove at 60-65. No one slower than I. All others just blasted by !!! Good, I wasn't driving the
lump. I might of gotten myself in a jamb.


Good part. Battery took the charge. Jaguar fired almost instantly.
For now, I'll call it inactivity. Store later, I'll take it.


And Coco like it better. He doesn't like getting in the Jeep. Too high for an easy jump or bad memories of past things. Dog catcher wagon!!! He is kinda fat and has short legs.

Willie Nelson's On the Road Again. On ya Carl.

ZZ Top, "Legs", the song is great but the video is better, but watching that video whilst driving is Un-Jaguar, HA.

ANd, this time of the year, Chris Rea, "Driving Home For Christmas", works for us.

When I was in the market for an XJS, one of the cars I was considering had been named Layla by her owners. I passed on that car cos she'd already been named

I don't know that I've found a theme song for my Jaguar yet, but the first song we ever listened to was Daft Punk's Give Life Back to Music.

For those of us who have owned our cars for at least a decade, and, have worked on, rebuilt, modified, and/or replaced nearly every component on them at least once...

My daughter and I used to listen to Dread Zeppelin's "Un-led-ed" album on the way to school almost daily, as it was the only working tape we had that we both liked.

One piece at a time sure fits too.

Me, Madame, it's dark, lights on, dashboard illuminated, cruising for the dream of it, Nat Cole on the deck, perfection on wheels - literally!

Led Zeppelin, a fantastic time in my life, summer 1970, went to a Boston Mass. concert!

with a 16year old girl on each arm, twins, they said they dont do anything alone ,always together, well it changed many things in my way of thinking, they supplied LSD.

but most for the better!!!!!

at that era of life i drove a 1961 VW bus van, with a bed and heater, imagine that!

Great story! Sounds like you have a few years on me but that story reminds me of following the Grateful Dead in the early '90s. I had a 1984 diesel VW Rabbit and enough imagination to make $$ selling grilled cheese sandwiches in the parking lot. Oh the stories come rushing back as I think about it. Thanks Ronbros for jogging my memory!

99% of the time it's Mark Knopfler, no matter if I'm driving or working on my car in the shop. Maybe a little more of an obscure pick but I can't turn it off. From the early Dire Straits to modern Knopfler. Fantastic music.

You've heard of him, perhaps as Dire Straits? You couldn't get away from his hits like "Money for Nothin'", "Walk of Life" and "So Far Away" in the 80s. Before that he had a ton of hits like "Skateaway", "Romeo and Juliet", "Sulatns of Swing", and a bunch of others.

If you liked that clip, you may want to acquaint yourself with his catalogue. He's got a worthwhile career of songs to listen to.
